SOLUTIONS WORKSPACE TRANSFORMATION MICROSOFT 365 LICENSING What can Microsoft 365 achieve for your business? Most businesses use Microsoft 365 – it’s become one of the go-to workspace technologies. But its wide acceptance can also mean that businesses purchase subscriptions without really considering what they are paying for, and whether they will really use it. On the one hand, organisations can over-estimate the technology they need and over-pay as a result. On the other, they could be missing out on applications that could significantly improve workforce collaboration or speed up processes. Like most technology providers, Microsoft are continually updating and improving what they offer. But, tied into contracts, if you don’t know what’s coming down the line, you could miss the chance to take advantage of the latest developments. Whether you’re a large or small business, when you’re paying out for all your users, your subscription starts to add up. And, as you get bigger, getting a handle on ROI becomes more complex. Looking at the detail and examining the small efficiencies that can be unlocked can add up to big differences in financial outlay and staff productivity. Know the tools and how to use them Sourcing M365 through ComputerWorld means you get all the benefit of the direct purchasing experience, with the added value of our expertise. Put simply, we can help you get the most out of your subscription and the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. We can help you understand what’s included in each level of agreement and which one is right for you. We’ll come to this conclusion based on conversations about the workings of your businesses, the way your people collaborate, and any gripes with your current system (M365 or otherwise) that you feel need ironing out. Our deep-dive into the way you use Microsoft apps extends beyond Office Suite – we’ll also seek out how you could gain value from Windows OS, security and management features, as well as broader cloud capabilities in Azure. It’s unlikely that all your employees will do the same job, or work in the same way. So, we can help you bring flexibility into your Microsoft solutions through blended subscriptions tailored to your exact requirements. This way, different licenses can be applied to different users – and you don’t have to pay out for premium subscriptions for everyone, if they are only required by a few.
