Is Microsoft 365 costing you too much? How would you know?

Choosing the right Microsoft 365 pricing package for your business is about as confusing as selecting the right cellphone contract, and like cellphones, many businesses are on the wrong one which means they’re unknowingly paying too much… Understanding the right package for your needs can save you significant cost.  In our experience, 60% of businesses we audit are paying for features they don’t use or need. For instance, a recent client saved 20% annually after we optimized their Microsoft 365 setup.

It’s all in the way it’s set up to make sure it’s optimised.  There are hundreds of different packages – so how do you know if you’re on the right one for your business?  Do you use shared mailboxes like “accounts@company.co.za” – how many licenses do you have for those accounts?  Do you need them all?  Did you know that if you’re a non-profit organisation you can qualify for a special price?  We can help you navigate this complex environment.  There are loads of buying considerations to take into account, like annual prices are cheaper than paying monthly.  Do you require a subscription for Microsoft Desktop Apps or have you purchased those licenses outright?  Do you have users with more than 1 license? Did you know that you can have multiple mailboxes and email addresses but a single user only needs to pay for one subscription. Do you require the full stack on device management and security features from Microsoft or are you using 3rd party security products.  Getting into the detail can unpack a Pandora’s box of questions!

We can do an audit and determine if you have enough and what the right package is for your business.
