6 Steps to Effective Microsoft 365 Licensing Optimization

Webinar Details:

Keeping track of Microsoft 365 licensing for your organization can be a painful, time-consuming, and frustrating endeavor. Microsoft does a great job innovating and offering new products, however, keeping up with these licensing changes and managing new license SKU’s can be a full-time job without an automated reporting solution.

Therefore, Microsoft 365 licensing optimization presents two major opportunities for an organization. First, for procurement to optimize costs by purchasing only what is needed; Second, for the IT department to ensure end-users are adopting and utilizing what is purchased through ongoing license management techniques.
