Microsoft 365 Optimiser
One of the great advantages of investing in powerful, cloud-based software like Microsoft 365 is the time and cost saving potential. Ideally, it should make your people more efficient, enable effective communication and collaboration, enhance security, and simplify day-to-day work for your IT teams.
However, these benefits only come when the software is licensed properly and implemented and managed correctly. In a staggering number of cases, this simply isn’t the case.
56% of a business’s Microsoft 365 licenses are inactive, underutilised, oversized or unassigned.1
Are you struggling with…
Identifying inactive Teams and Teams without owners?
Unidentified security risks due to Microsoft 365 configuration?
Adoption challenges and not realising efficiency gains and ROI?
Paying for unused and underused licenses?
