MICROSOFT PRACTICE  ·  Licensing and managed services

Spend you can
explain.

Microsoft licensing and subscription advisory, licence procurement and optimisation, Azure and Microsoft 365 support, monitoring and operational management, security management, and continuous cost and performance optimisation.

01 THE PROBLEM

What usually brings people here.

A renewal that repeats last year

The quantity carries forward because unpicking it takes longer than the renewal window allows. The number only ever moves upward.

Nobody owns day two

The migration partner finished and left. Patching, monitoring, cost review and incident response are now everyone's job, which means they are nobody's.

Optimisation as an annual event

A cost exercise runs once, finds savings, and the estate drifts back within two quarters because nothing changed structurally.

02 WHAT WE DELIVER

03 HOW WE ENGAGE

From first conversation to steady state.

01

Baseline

Full picture of current spend, entitlements, resources and support gaps.

02

Model

Renewal and commitment options costed against real utilisation.

03

Transition

Documented handover into a defined service with agreed response targets.

04

Operate

Monitoring, patching, security management and incident response.

05

Review

Recurring cost, performance and posture review with reporting.

04 OUTCOMES

What changes when this is done properly.

Described as outcomes rather than numbers. We publish measured figures only where a customer has approved the reference and the measurement method can be stated.

01

The renewal becomes a decision. Quantities and tiers are justified against utilisation data before the window opens, rather than accepted because there was no time to check.

02

Day two has an owner. Monitoring, patching, backup verification and incident response sit with a named service and agreed response targets.

03

Optimisation runs continuously. A standing review cadence, so the estate doesn't drift back to where it was within two quarters of a one-off exercise.

04

Spend maps to something. Cost attributable to teams, environments and workloads, so a rise in the invoice comes with an explanation attached.
