Optimizing O365 Comprehensive Renewal and Licensing Cleanup for Cost Efficiency and Compliance
Alta Science and a full comprehensive Office 365 Renewal
At Full Throttle, we recently undertook a comprehensive Office365™ renewal and licensing cleanup project, resulting in significant cost savings and operational efficiency. Over a 30 day process, our team meticulously analyzed and optimized AltaSciences’ O365 licensing, leading to an impressive $200k annual savings and an 11% discount off the list price. All while improving customer experience.
The project began with a detailed audit their incumbent Microsoft provider and O365 licenses. We identified redundant and underutilized licenses, and restructured their licensing model to better align with actual usage and business needs. This proactive approach reduced unnecessary expenditures, centralized all licenses under one interactive platform and streamlined their billing to renew all licenses on the same date.
One of the key strategies was negotiating directly with Microsoft® and leveraging our consolidated buying power. By presenting a clear case for the required licenses and demonstrating our long-term commitment, we successfully secured an 11% discount off the standard list price and made all their licensing Co-terminus.
Throughout the process, we maintained a focus on minimizing disruption to their team.. Careful planning and communication ensured a seamless transition, with minimal impact on daily operations.
This case study exemplifies how strategic licensing management can yield substantial financial benefits. The Full Throttle Difference allows continuous improvement and cost optimization, always striving to deliver maximum value to our lifelong customers.
