Optimize, negotiate and maintain best-in-class Microsoft agreements that cost less and gives your business more.
We begin by analyzing your current Microsoft Contract, assessing the pricing structure, any amendments in place, and reviewing the Customer Price Sheet to determine what’s included. This analysis provides insight into the current commercial structure and serves as the foundation for optimizing your estate.
Based on our assessment of the current Microsoft contract, we generate the current Bill of Material, which includes the list of products, licenses, and amendments that could potentially provide license entitlements too.
We then delve deeper into the actual installations and usage of the software. This is where the ‘data’ comes into play. We analyze three different areas:
- On-premises installations
- Microsoft Cloud Subscriptions
- Azure Consumption
The on-premises data comes from your existing tools such as vCenter, Active Directory, SNOW, Flexera, SAM Pro, Lansweeper, or other tooling. To analyze Microsoft Cloud Subscriptions and Azure, we use our tooling to provide us with the necessary data to analyze the current usage of the Cloud platforms.

We use an equitable pricing model that accounts for number of devices/users and geographic considerations. We offer the choice between a flat fee, or a success fee tied to the outcomes of the project.
On average, companies make back 25X their investment on optimization efforts through both cost savings and cost avoidance.
