Annual cost savings from optimizing and purging unused Microsoft licenses |
An IT team knew their security posture was noncompliant and was challenged with hiring internally or outsourcing to support their business. Centre stepped in to assess the situation and identified significant waste and license sprawl. Once the assessment was delivered, Centre was trusted to implement the new security strategy that complied with Microsoft regulations while decreasing unused licenses.
After analyzing Microsoft 365 licensing usage and associated costs, Centre removed more than 130 unassigned and disabled licenses. Through assessing their security environment, Centre identified vulnerabilities and made their environment compliant. In addition to savings, Centre equipped its internal IT team to handle minor escalations through tailored product training.
Centre is continuing to provide guidance to improve security and compliance for Microsoft 365. The next steps for this organization will be optimizing their device deployments to users through Autopilot and utilizing Intune to help manage mobile accessibility. Centre will continue looking for areas to further enhance processes that will save time and resources for their IT staff.
"In such a short time we are already seeing a great value in having Centre Technologies as a partner."
