Most enterprises overspend on their Microsoft Enterprise Agreement by 20-35%. Unused licenses, wrong SKU tiers, missed hybrid benefits, and poorly structured Azure commitments drain millions. We find the waste, fix it, and optimize your EA for how you actually use Microsoft technology.
Most EA customers are. Between E5 licenses assigned to users who only need E3, unused Power Platform add-ons, and Azure reservations burning at low utilization — the waste adds up fast.
The best time to optimize is 6-12 months before renewal. We give you the usage data and recommendations that transform your renewal negotiation from reactive to strategic.
Organizational changes create Microsoft licensing sprawl. Acquisitions bring duplicate licenses, divestitures leave stranded entitlements, and nobody tracks what's actually needed.
We analyze actual usage across your M365, Azure, and on-premises estate — identifying underutilized licenses, dormant accounts, and over-provisioned SKUs. Hard data, not estimates.
We map every user to the optimal Microsoft license tier based on their actual usage patterns. E5 users who only use E3 features? We flag them. Standalone add-ons vs. suite licenses? We model both options.
We analyze your Azure consumption for right-sizing opportunities, reservation optimization, hybrid benefit utilization, and workload placement — typically finding 20-30% savings.
We deliver a comprehensive restructuring plan aligned to your renewal timeline — including recommended license mix, Azure commitment levels, and negotiation targets backed by optimization data.
