From Blind Spots to Clarity: Managing Microsoft 365 Licences with Confidence

Managing Microsoft 365 licenses sounds straightforward, right? You buy the necessary licences, assign them to users, and track renewals. But if you're a Microsoft 365 admin, you know it's rarely that simple. Hidden costs and inefficiencies can creep into your licence management without you even realising it, turning what should be a manageable task into a budget-draining frustration.

Where Does It All Go Wrong?

Here’s where things often get messy:

  • Inactive Accounts: Users leave the company, but their licences stay active, quietly draining your budget.
  • Overlapping Licences: Users end up with multiple licences they don’t need—adding unnecessary complexity and cost.
  • Misaligned Usage: High-cost licences are assigned to users who barely need their advanced features.
  • Lack of Visibility: It's impossible to optimise without a clear picture of what's being used.

These issues don’t just inflate costs—they make licence management a frustrating game of guesswork.

The High Price of Licence Blind Spots

Licences that aren’t properly managed might seem like a minor inconvenience, but the hidden costs add up fast.

Here's what you're losing:

  • Money: Wasted licences can drain your IT budget, eating up resources that could be used elsewhere.
  • Time: Manually tracking and optimising licences consumes hours you don’t have.
  • Control: Without full visibility, you're constantly reacting to problems instead of staying ahead of them.
