The Microsoft Software Assessment is a strategic consulting engagement designed to help organizations gain clarity, control, and cost savings across their Microsoft environment.
Our private assessment provides a confidential, data-driven review of your current Microsoft software usage, licensing structure, and compliance posture — followed by tailored recommendations that align with your business goals and budget.
Why Now Microsoft licensing continues to evolve — from new NCE rules to Copilot and Fabric. Most organizations are paying for capabilities they’re not using or misaligned with their business model. A Microsoft Software Assessment helps you get ahead of renewal cycles, unlock hidden savings, and prepare your environment for modern AI-enabled solutions.
Customer Benefits: Optimizing your Microsoft environment isn’t just about cutting costs — it’s about aligning your technology investment with your organization’s goals. Through Covenant’s Microsoft Software Assessment, you gain clarity, control, and confidence in how your Microsoft licenses, configurations, and usage support your business strategy.
Financial Optimization: Most organizations pay for more than they use. Our assessment helps you uncover hidden inefficiencies, eliminate waste, and right-size your licensing to match real business needs. You’ll gain visibility into your Microsoft 365, Azure, and related subscriptions, allowing you to make data-driven budgeting and forecasting decisions with confidence.
Operational Efficiency: We ensure your teams are equipped with the right tools — no more, no less. By aligning licenses to roles and usage patterns, your workforce can fully leverage the latest Microsoft capabilities while your IT and procurement teams enjoy simplified management, reporting, and oversight. The result is a leaner, more productive Microsoft environment.
Security & Compliance Confidence: Licensing gaps can expose organizations to unnecessary risk. Covenant helps you identify and correct compliance issues before they become audit findings or security vulnerabilities. You’ll leave the engagement knowing your environment aligns with Microsoft’s terms, security expectations, and best-practice standards — reinforcing trust and accountability across the business.
Strategic Readiness: As Microsoft evolves — from NCE and Fabric to the AI-powered Copilot era — your licensing strategy should evolve too. This assessment positions your organization to take advantage of new technologies, optimize for the cloud, and ensure your Microsoft investments are future-ready. It’s not just a cost exercise; it’s a foundation for modernization and growth.
