  • Eliminate License Waste: Remove unused, orphaned, and duplicate licenses, the same waste that has returned $102 million to client budgets.
  • Right-size E3 vs E5: Match license tiers to how people actually work.
  • Cut Redundant Tools: Reduce spend on third-party tools that already overlap with Microsoft 365.
  • Protect Your Next Renewal: Backed by a review of more than $833 million in Microsoft 365 licensing spend, lnter contract negotiations with a clean, defensible cost position.

The Four Levers of M365 Cost Optimization

Across hundreds of engagements, TrustedTech has identified four primary levers that translate insight into measurable cost reduction. When applied together, they form a structured, repeatable approach to reducing Microsoft 365 cost.

  • License Rightsizing

    Many organizations over-license employees with premium plans they rarely use. Rightsizing ensures each user has the appropriate Microsoft 365 license based on their role, responsibilities, and feature requirements.

  • Inactive and Ghost Seat Elimination

    Inactive accounts and orphaned licenses quietly accumulate over time, creating unnecessary Microsoft 365 spend. Removing ghost seats is one of the fastest and easiest ways to reduce licensing costs.

  • Eliminate Redundant Third-Party Tools

    Third-party applications often remain in place long after Microsoft 365 introduces equivalent functionality. Identifying and eliminating overlapping tools reduces licensing costs and creates a more efficient IT environment.

  • Renewal & Procurement Optimization

    Purchasing Microsoft 365 through the appropriate channel can significantly reduce licensing costs. A strategic procurement and renewal strategy helps reduce spend while taking advantage of pricing opportunities as they arise.
