Licences Bought Right, Not Just Bought

Microsoft licensing, and the security software that sits around it — supplied, reviewed and renewed through one supplier, on one bill. The value is not the licence. It is being told when you are on the wrong one.

Get In Touch

Most businesses are paying for something they do not use

Not through carelessness. Licensing changes, teams change, and nobody has a reason to look until the renewal lands. When we review an estate, it is usually one of these three.

Seats You Stopped Using

Someone leaves and their licence carries on billing. We reconcile seats against your actual staff list, so you stop paying for people who left last spring.

The Wrong Tier

Business Premium earns its money if you use the device management and security inside it. If you do not, Standard does the same day job for noticeably less. We will tell you which one you are.

Renewals That Creep

Annual commitments roll over quietly, and the first anyone notices is the invoice. We flag your dates ahead of time, while changing something is still possible.

The Modern Workplace Payoff

Microsoft 365 is not just email and Word anymore — it is a connected set of tools most businesses already pay for and only half use. Set up properly, here is what running on it fully actually gets you.

Teams That Work From One Copy of the Truth

Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive share a single copy of every file instead of three versions emailed back and forth. Whoever edited it last is the version everyone sees, in the office or working from home.

Security Built In, Not Bolted On

Microsoft Defender and Entra ID (the platform formerly called Azure Active Directory) sit underneath everything rather than as a separate product to remember to renew. Access is controlled properly from day one, instead of tightened up after something has already gone wrong.

The Same Work, On Any Device

The full Microsoft 365 suite behaves the same on an office desktop, a laptop at home or a phone on the train. Nobody has to wait until they are back at one specific machine to pick up where they left off.

Scale With Headcount, Not Against It

Licences and cloud resources move with your team — add a seat when you hire, drop one when someone leaves, with no server to buy and no contract to renegotiate. You pay for what the business needs this month, not what it might need in three years.

What is in the box

One licence, all of these

Every Microsoft 365 business plan carries the same set of apps. The question worth asking at renewal is not which ones you have — it is which ones you have actually switched on, and what you are separately paying for that duplicates them.

  • Outlook
  • Teams
  • Word
  • Excel
  • PowerPoint
  • OneNote
  • OneDrive
  • SharePoint

Web and mobile versions come with every plan; the installed desktop apps start at Business Standard. Microsoft, Microsoft 365 and the product names and icons shown here are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation, used for identification only.

Microsoft CSP

The full Microsoft catalogue, handled properly

We are a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, so your Microsoft 365 and Azure subscriptions come from us directly rather than through a portal you have to wrestle with. The same software, at competitive rates, on one bill with everything else.

What you are really buying is the review. Once a year at minimum we go through what you pay for line by line and put the findings in writing — including the times the answer is that your setup is right and nothing needs to change.

That includes telling you to spend less. A reseller paid on volume has no reason to say it, which is exactly why it is worth hearing.

What we handle

  • Microsoft 365 and Azure subscriptions
  • Written licence reviews, at least annually
  • Seat reconciliation against your staff list
  • Renewal dates tracked and flagged early
  • Tenant setup and ongoing administration
  • Migration from your current provider

Vendor portfolio

More than Microsoft

Licensing is the front door, but most of what businesses actually need sits around it — protecting the mail, the endpoints, the network and the data. We supply that too, from vendors chosen for the job rather than for the margin.

Being able to supply all of these is the point: we are not tied to defending one vendor’s roadmap, so the recommendation can follow what suits your business. If the right answer is something already included in a licence you hold, we would rather tell you that.

What You Get

  • Licences supplied and billed through us, on a single invoice
  • A written licence review at least once a year
  • A renewal calendar, flagged ahead of every date
  • Vendor-neutral recommendations, including when to spend less
