Every year, millions upon millions of pounds are wasted on underutilised and poorly managed software subscriptions – and one of the largest portions of that unnecessary spend can be found in one of the most obvious places: Microsoft.
Almost every organisation on the planet utilises some element of the subscription services that Microsoft offer; and yet, we see the management and optimisation of these services continually taken for granted (or worse, ignored entirely).
That’s why, in collaboration with our partners TBSC, we offer optimisation services for three of Microsoft’s most prevalent SaaS options: 365, Azure and Copilot.
All of them are low cost (even free in some cases), low touch, and require a very low amount of effort on your part to see to fruition – but have the potential to save you an eye-watering of money.
So, the big question is: which one would you like to try first? Find out more about each of them below.
Are you aware of the missed opportunities and underutilisation that may be hindering your organisation’s Microsoft 365 usage? If not, it’s time to assess where you stand and unleash all the benefits of Microsoft’s flagship suite of tools with a Smarter SaaS Efficiency Rating.
Providing a comprehensive analysis of your Microsoft 365 usage, the Efficiency Rating delivers valuable insights into a multitude of metrics across your tenant. With this rating, you can identify areas for improvement and optimise your subscriptions to maximise your investment. The detailed usage dashboard offers a clear overview of your Microsoft 365 utilisation, empowering you to make informed decisions on license management; as well as data storage and security.
And even better, the Lite version of this service won’t cost you a penny – as it comes with a 30-day free trial to TBSC’s Smarter SaaS platform. Just plug it in to your tenant (it’s really simple, but we’ll be there every step of the way), and within 24 hours you can expect to see a continually refreshed dashboard which includes:
And if that wasn’t enough, you’ll have the expertise of EasySAM with our decades of collective experience to help you digest the wealth of information at your fingertips – so you can turn those potential savings and optimisations into fully realised ones.
In today’s cloud-first world, staying on top of your cloud expenses can be challenging. TBSC’s Azure Cost Optimiser is here to ensure that your business gets the most out of its cloud investments by providing cost transparency, proactive monitoring, and automated optimisations. This powerful tool helps organisations like yours reduce waste, increase efficiency, and enhance return on investment (ROI) from Azure cloud services.
Monitor your Azure spend through customisable dashboards – with breakdowns by departments, projects, or services to allow you to uncover hidden inefficiencies and spot trends. Empower decision-makers with real-time data to make informed, cost-saving decisions.
Stay informed with real-time alerts that notify you when your cloud spending exceeds set thresholds. By keeping your cloud budget in check, you can avoid unexpected surprises and make adjustments on the go to maintain control.
Automatically optimise resource usage and scale down non-essential resources during off-peak times. In turn, you can reduce cloud spend by up to 70% while ensuring that your critical services are always available.
And if all of that seems overwhelming and you get the feeling you won’t know where to start, that’s where EasySAM come in. Our experts will be on hand to comb through all of the insights and recommendations with you to give you the peace of mind needed.
TBSC’s Copilot Readiness Assessment is designed to evaluate your organisation’s infrastructure, security and usage readiness for Microsoft Copilot. Within 24 hours of the simple plug-and-play style setup, it provides a complete diagnostic review of your Copilot preparedness – covering security compliance, app usage trends, license compatibility, and data accessibility.
The end result? Well:
And just like for 365 and Azure, EasySAM will be there to guide and advice you throughout the process to help you unleash the full power of Copilot.
