Overview

The Microsoft 365 Cloud Licensing Renewal Assessment is designed to identify potential inefficiencies in your current cloud licensing setup and provide recommendations for optimization. This solution aims to eliminate wasted spending on underutilized or redundant software, control cloud expenses by right-sizing subscriptions based on user personas and streamline IT operations by simplifying the licensing landscape.

By leveraging this assessment, organizations can benefit from cost savings through the consolidation of services, elimination of unused licenses, and removal of redundant licenses. Additionally, it simplifies compliance with managing a single renewal date in the future, while also preparing detailed renewal options and pricing to support decision-making and implementation of changes.
