Licensing, SAM and SaaS
We reconcile your entitlements with actual usage, reallocate dormant seats before any repurchase and prepare your renewals. For service providers, a review of the SPLA report.
This is your situation if
- A Microsoft, Oracle, SAP or Salesforce renewal is coming
- A vendor announces an audit
- SaaS and AI seats multiply with no owner
- Your BYOL and Azure Hybrid Benefit rights are not used in the cloud
Format
Fixed scope: initial review per vendor or per scope; duration set at scoping.
Embedded: renewal tracking, reviewed in committee.
What we ask for: contracts and invoices, vendor usage exports, read-only access to administration consoles.
What we do not do: resell licenses, or replace your software asset management tool: we work with it or from your exports.
Pay for the licenses you use
Entitlements against usage
By vendor and by entity: seats bought, active seats, dormant seats.
Reallocate before you repurchase
A dormant seat here often answers a request elsewhere.
Licenses in the cloud
License included or BYOL depending on your rights, Azure Hybrid Benefit, SQL Server editions.
Renewals prepared
Register of contracts and renewal dates, negotiating position, prices aligned across entities.
Vendor audit preparation
Entitlements, deployments and reports reconciled, gaps quantified, remediation plan before the auditors arrive.
SPLA: report right, rebill right
- Reconciliation between reported and deployed: Windows Server, SQL Server, Remote Desktop, hosted Exchange and SharePoint
- SPLA cost and margin per end client
- Path chosen for each workload: SPLA, license included at the hyperscaler, BYOL depending on your rights, or CSP-Hoster
- Audit preparation and reproducible monthly report
