Because the cheapest licenses are the ones you don't buy...
Users generally only use 20% of the features included in their Microsoft 365 license, either because they lack training on this very dense software suite, or simply because they don't need it...
You pay 100% and only use 20% of the Microsoft 365 suite! On a company or local authority scale, this is a huge waste of resources. If you want to save money, you need to take an interest in this differential to adapt paid licenses to actual usage, failing to develop this usage naturally. Our FinOps solution enables you to identify this waste precisely, and to remedy it effectively by matching licenses to real user needs. You'll make massive financial savings on your subscriptions, which you can then reinvest elsewhere, for example in user training or artificial intelligence. This analysis is free of charge and with no obligation on your part.
Our 365Metrics solution enables you to optimize your licensing budget and employee use of the Microsoft 365 suite (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Planner, etc.). With our FinOps approach, you'll significantly improve your return on investment in the Microsoft 365 suite, because you'll immediately reduce your capital expenditure, by cutting the total cost of licenses (generally around 20% of costs), and at the same time increase team productivity by targeting possible areas for improvement and the people you need to train and support with precision.
Anyone in your organization can request a free analysis, with no special technical skills, roles or prerequisites required. The request automatically asks your Microsft 365 tenant administrator for explicit approval. This audit respects RGPD rules and the security of your Microsoft tenant, as it is carried out after validation by your organization's Microsoft administrator.
In practice, this audit will take 1 minute of your time and a few clicks: 1 click for the requester + 2 clicks for the administrator. Following the audit, we'll send you a summary e-mail with the audit report, after just a few minutes. You'll be able to immediately estimate possible financial gains and improvements for your organization. Finally, if you are interested in continuing the optimization, a verbal feedback session detailing possible improvements will be scheduled together with a SmartView expert.
Our FinOps 365Metrics service is also available on the Microsoft Marketplace / More details on the administrator validation procedure.
365Metrics saves our customers an average of 20% on their Microsoft 365 and COPILOT licenses.
With more than 600 license plans and a regularly expanded list of applications, the Microsoft 365 suite is a complex ecosystem in constant evolution. It becomes tedious and time-consuming for a manager or administrator to track license usage, identify possible improvements, or the benefits of changing license plans. Even if they do their best, they can't see everything all the time...
With our dual role as expert (Modern Work Partner) on Microsoft 365 tools and manager / reseller of Microsoft MS 365 - Azure and Copilot licenses (Reseller tier 2), we regularly see the same questions coming up with our customers:
- Who really uses my license? How can I save money? How can I avoid wasting expensive subscriptions?
- Which plan is right for me? Should I make an annual or monthly commitment?
- I have the impression that some people don't use certain tools (well). How can I help them?
- Are good safety practices respected?
- Where can I get the best ROI from our Copilot licenses to deploy AI in my organization?
365Metrics helps you answer all these questions by automating the analysis of key indicators, presenting documented reporting with concrete recommendations for adaptation and savings.
