Microsoft's account team walks into your renewal with your usage data.
Most teams walk in with what they remember from the EA before this one.
MetrixData 360 gives IT, finance, and procurement teams an independent read on Microsoft 365, Azure, and EA spend, before Microsoft's number becomes the only number in the room.
Built for teams managing $500M+ in enterprise Microsoft spend, typically 90 to 180 days from an EA renewal, Copilot rollout, or True-Up.
Money nobody's looking for, sitting in plain sight
found in unused Microsoft 365 licensing at one organization, once someone actually audited it instead of assuming the numbers were right.
Microsoft 365of a full Microsoft E5 bundle most organizations that own it actually use. The other 80% still gets billed at the same price.
Microsoft E5of what an EA renewal is actually worth comes from knowing real Microsoft 365 usage before you commit, not after you've already signed.

Four layers. Most firms are good at one.
See what's real
Procurement has one number, IT has another, the SAM tool has a third. We build the one that's actually true.
Know your position
Where you're over-licensed. Where you're exposed. Both, side by side, before anyone touches a negotiation.
Find the number
Every dollar of avoidable spend, quantified. This is where the renewal number actually starts to move.
Do the deal
Negotiate from your data, not the vendor's narrative. A result you couldn't have gotten on your own.
What this actually looks like
Public sector, technology services, enterprise IT. Same Microsoft pattern every time: nobody was looking until we did.
A Copilot rollout was already paying for seats nobody had turned on, plus close to a hundred Microsoft 365 accounts nobody was using anymore. All of it billed. None of it flagged until we looked. Recovered right away.
Outcome type: financial recoveryA client signed a new EA with intentional over-provisioning and a reservation to grow into. Growth lagged. They paid for unused seats for two and a half years before anyone questioned the assumption behind the original number.
Outcome type: advisory positionAn enterprise team was moved onto the full Microsoft E5 suite. Most of the organization used less than a fifth of what E5 included. Premium bundle price, for capability almost nobody touched.
Outcome type: advisory positionIndependence isn't a tagline here. It's the whole business model.
Our founder ran licensing deals from inside Microsoft for over a decade before starting MetrixData 360. He knows exactly how Microsoft's account team builds your renewal number, because he used to build it.
Independent
We're not a Microsoft partner or reseller. No financial relationship with Microsoft, in either direction. When we tell you what your number should be, it isn't tied to what we get paid on the other side of it.
All four layers, together
Most firms are strong at one: the audit, the discovery, or the negotiation. We run data, position, savings, and the deal as one connected process.
Weeks, not quarters
A real, usable answer before the renewal clock runs out. Not a six-month engagement that lands after you've already signed.
