Optimizing Microsoft 365 without strong governance can be a complex challenge for organizations of all sizes. That’s why we recently hosted an insightful webinar with Mike Austin, CEO of MetrixData 360 and our partners – Rencore and Source Code Control – to explore expert strategies for optimizing Microsoft 365 licensing spend with strong governance.
Key Microsoft 365 Optimization Opportunities
During the webinar session, we uncovered actionable insights that can help businesses reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and enhance visibility without disrupting end users. Here are some of the key takeaways:
✅ License Right-Sizing – Many organizations pay for unused or underutilized licenses. By aligning licenses with actual usage, businesses can eliminate waste and optimize spending.
✅ Eliminating Redundant Tools – Microsoft 365 offers a wide range of features that can replace third-party tools. Identifying and removing overlapping software can lead to significant cost savings.
✅ Leveraging Discounts – Organizations can take advantage of Enterprise Agreements and reserved instances to unlock lower pricing and maximize value.
✅ Operational Automation – Automating workflows related to reporting, compliance, and license adjustments can streamline operations and reduce manual effort.
✅ Proactive Cost Monitoring – Continuous monitoring allows businesses to catch unexpected cost spikes early, avoiding budget overruns and improving financial predictability.
