Understanding Microsoft Licensing to Maximize Cost Savings

If your business is continually looking for ways to optimize your IT software costs, Microsoft 365 offers unique solutions to address your needs. With best-in-class productivity and security offerings, Microsoft can flatten your tech-stack and along with it, save you time and money. Citrin Cooperman’s Digital Services Practice has extensive experience in providing companies with the guidance necessary to integrate and leverage the capabilities of Microsoft.

Determining appropriate Microsoft licensing for your company

For all of Microsoft’s strengths, licensing remains complex. Product names routinely change and so do included features. Our Digital Services Practice’s professionals can assist your company with a rapid licensing assessment to help you understand these complexities, reduce subscription costs, maximize the value of your investment, and ensure your subscription plans align with your company’s strategic vision.

Leveraging Microsoft for cost savings

Microsoft is routinely positioned as a leader by Gartner in several “Magic Quadrants” including Endpoint Protection. If you pay for a different third-party solution, you may be losing more than just money – you are likely missing capability. There are many other examples, like phone systems and conferencing fees, that are often duplicative. Eliminating redundancy can help companies save up to 60% by consolidating security services within the Microsoft cloud. Our team is well-equipped to help your company determine if they are getting the best price available and can evaluate your license utility and optimization.

Improving efficiencies with Microsoft

Too many apps and platforms can lead to inefficiencies and loss of productivity. Forrester found that Microsoft 365 users save an average of three hours per week due to collaboration and communication efficiency. Tapping into the power of Microsoft 365 can allow your employees, including your IT department, to streamline workflows and processes so you can focus on what counts – growing a successful business.

Our Digital Services Practice is prepared to help your company maximize efficiencies by evaluating your current Microsoft licenses. Please contact Eric Casazza, Digital Services Practice’s leader, to discuss an improved path to functionality and increased business value.
