?? Why Customers Overspend on Microsoft 365 – Part 5: License Duplication Visit CloudNuro for more information- cloudnuro.ai/m365
?? Why Customers Overspend on Microsoft 365 – cloudnuro.ai/m365 Part 5: License Duplication In our previous posts, we highlighted the 5 common reasons why organizations overspend on Microsoft 365: 1. One-size-fits-all approach 2. Underutilized commitments 3. Provisioning complexity ??. ?????????????? ?????????????????????? 5. Lack of visibility Today, we’re discussing License Duplication, which happens when organizations pay for third-party tools that provide the same functionalities already included in their Microsoft 365 subscriptions. This often leads to unnecessary spending, as many premium licenses already cover essential services like file storage, business intelligence, and collaboration tools. ???????? ??????????:?A Major Metropolitan Transit Authority A major metropolitan transit authority was using several third-party tools, such as Tableau for business intelligence and Dropbox for file storage and collaboration. However, their Microsoft 365 E5 licenses already included Power BI, OneDrive, and SharePoint, which offer the same functionalities. CloudNuro.ai’s analysis revealed that they could eliminate these third-party subscriptions and fully leverage the features included in their M365 E5 licenses. This resulted in significant cost savings and simplified their tech stack, as they no longer needed to maintain overlapping tools. ?? ???????????????????? ?????????????? : Paying for Communication Tools A logistics company was paying for third-party communication and collaboration tools like Slack, even though they were already using Microsoft Teams as part of their Office 365 E3 subscription. CloudNuro's review identified that the features they were using in Slack—such as messaging, video calls, and file sharing—were already available in Teams. By eliminating the Slack subscription and consolidating their communication tools under Teams, the company saved a substantial amount in annual subscription fees without sacrificing functionality. ?? ????????????????: Many organizations pay for third-party tools that duplicate the functionality already available in their Microsoft 365 licenses. By consolidating tools and maximizing the use of built-in Microsoft 365 features, you can significantly reduce costs and simplify your tech stack. ???????? ????: ???????? ???? ???????????????????? – How can limited insights into license usage and renewals drive up costs?

?? Why Customers Overspend on Microsoft 365 – cloudnuro.ai/m365 Part 4: Provisioning Complexity In our previous posts, we highlighted the 5 common reasons why organizations overspend on Microsoft 365: 1. One-size-fits-all approach 2. Underutilized commitments ??. ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? 4. License duplication 5. Lack of visibility Today, we’re addressing Provisioning Complexity, a hidden cost driver that arises when organizations struggle to efficiently manage the process of adding and removing licenses. Without a streamlined process, companies often continue paying for licenses that are no longer needed, leading to avoidable expenses. ?? ???????? ??????????: A Major Provider of Health Solutions A major health solutions provider faced significant challenges when it came to identifying which Microsoft 365 licenses could be reclaimed or reused. The provisioning process was inefficient, and due to time constraints, their IT team found it difficult to keep track of which licenses were actively being used and which were sitting idle. CloudNuro.ai's platform provided real-time insights into license usage, making it easy to identify dormant licenses and simplify the process of deprovisioning and reassigning them. As a result, the company was able to reclaim licenses in a timely manner, improving operational efficiency and cutting costs. ?? ?????????????? ??: Manual License Removal Costs A healthcare major relied on a manual process to remove Microsoft 365 licenses for departing employees. This led to months of paying for unused licenses. Automating this process with CloudNuro eliminated delays, ensuring timely deactivation and immediate cost savings. ???????????????? ??: Difficulty in Reallocating Licenses Between Departments A Southeastern U.S. transportation authority struggled to reallocate licenses between departments during budget shifts. CloudNuro’s automated insights enabled them to reassign unused licenses efficiently, avoiding extra purchases while keeping teams productive ?? ????????????????: Provisioning complexity can quickly inflate costs when unused licenses aren’t reclaimed in a timely manner or licenses aren’t effectively reallocated. By automating these processes and gaining real-time visibility, organizations can streamline license management and avoid unnecessary expenses. ?? ???????? ????: ?????????????? ?????????????????????? – Are you paying for third-party tools that overlap with Microsoft 365 functionality?

Why Customers Overspend on Microsoft 365 – Visit cloudnuro.ai/m365 Part 3: Underutilized Commitments ? In our previous posts, we highlighted the 5 common reasons why organizations overspend on Microsoft 365: ? 1. One-size-fits-all approach ??. ?????????????????????????? ?????????????????????? 3. Provisioning complexity 4. License duplication 5. Lack of visibility ? Today, we’re tackling Underutilized Commitments, where organizations buy more licenses than they actively use—often to "prepare for future demand"—but end up paying for licenses that sit idle. ? ???????? ??????????: ?? ?????????????????? ?????????????? ???????????????? ?????????????? A prominent medical services company found that over 30% of its Microsoft 365 licenses were unused. They had purchased extra licenses to account for potential future needs but never properly reallocated dormant licenses from inactive or departed employees. CloudNuro.ai analyzed their license usage and showed that these unused licenses could easily be reclaimed from dormant accounts, freeing up budget for other initiatives. ? By optimizing their current licenses rather than purchasing more, the company achieved significant cost savings. ? ?? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ??: ???????????? ???????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ?????????????? ???? ?? ?????????????????? ?????????????? ? A leading logistics company purchased extra Microsoft 365 licenses to support seasonal workers during peak periods, like the end-of-year shipping rush. After the busy season, they continued paying for unused licenses year-round. CloudNuro’s SaaS management platform helped them identify these idle licenses and enabled temporary deactivation, saving significant costs by reactivating only when needed. ? ?? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ??: ???????????????????????????? ???? ???????????????????? ???????????????????? ? A financial services firm had overcommitted to Microsoft 365 licenses through a multi-year Enterprise Agreement, anticipating growth that never materialized. CloudNuro’s insights enabled them to right-size their license commitment for the next renewal, identifying underutilized licenses. By adjusting their subscription to match actual usage, they saved thousands and avoided future overcommitment. ? ?? ????????????????: While preparing for future growth is important, paying for unused licenses today is an expensive mistake. By focusing on reallocating and optimizing existing licenses, organizations can save costs while still maintaining flexibility for future needs. ? ???????? ????: ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? – How inefficient processes for adding and removing licenses lead to higher costs.
