Buying licenses online is easy. But with time, managing them properly across vendors becomes difficult. Organisations that self-manage often face:<\/p>

  • Separate invoices from every vendor.<\/li>
  • Different billing cycles and contract terms.<\/li>
  • Credit card\u2013based subscriptions.<\/li>
  • Annual commitments that are difficult to adjust.<\/li>
  • No ability to bundle services.<\/li>
  • No proactive cost optimisation.<\/li>
  • Vendor-specific support queues.<\/li>
  • Limited visibility across the full estate.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          • Desktops<\/li>

          • Automation<\/li>

            Because we deliver across the entire technology landscape, we know how licensing decisions impact everything else. <\/p> <\/section> <\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

            #2 Consultancy\u2011First Approach <\/h3>

            We ask:<\/p>

            • Do you actually need E5, or would E3 suffice?<\/li>
            • Is Business Premium more suitable than Enterprise?<\/li>
            • Are you overcommitted to subscriptions?<\/li>
            • Are there unused licenses sitting idle?<\/li>
            • Are you structuring Azure workloads in the most cost\u2011effective way?<\/li> <\/ul>

              Sometimes the best recommendation is to downgrade.<\/p>

              We optimise. We don\u2019t oversell.<\/p> <\/section> <\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>
