Tailored consulting for cost-effective and compliant Microsoft licensing.
Microsoft licensing is one of the most complex aspects of modern IT procurement. Different licensing programs, contract models, and cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployment scenarios require in-depth expertise and a well-defined licensing strategy.
Our certified licensing consultants help you develop a Microsoft licensing strategy tailored to your organization's requirements. We provide independent, practical advice based on the latest Microsoft licensing policies and best practices.
Our objective is to create a transparent, cost-effective, and future-ready licensing strategy that aligns with your IT roadmap and business goals.
Structured management of your Microsoft licensing agreements provides maximum transparency, streamlines procurement processes, and ensures your contract documentation remains accurate, up to date, and fully compliant.
We take care of the administrative and organizational aspects of your Microsoft agreements, helping you meet important deadlines, monitor your licensing position, and manage software procurement efficiently.
Professional Software Asset Management (SAM) provides complete visibility into your software estate and forms the foundation for compliant and cost-effective software licensing.
By systematically assessing your software licenses, compliance risks can be identified at an early stage, helping you avoid unexpected license shortfalls, additional licensing costs, and penalties during software vendor audits.
Software Asset Management also reveals which licenses are actively used, where over-licensing exists, and where opportunities for cost savings can be realized. This enables organizations to maximize the value of their software investments, reduce licensing costs, and improve procurement processes over the long term.
During our consulting engagements, we frequently find that the term "License Management" is interpreted in many different ways. To establish a common understanding, we define License Management at License Consult GmbH as follows:
"License Management is the strategic control of software assets within an organization to generate lasting value for IT planning, procurement, and the management of future IT environments."
Our approach is based on a simple principle:
"Making complexity manageable – bringing structure and control to complexity."
