Softspend reads what a customer already owns and returns the gap, the optimum bundle and the funding that pays for the work.

Minutes, not weeks

  1. A security and Copilot readiness score
  2. A licence gap map, feature by feature

  4. The Microsoft funding claim pack

400 Features mapped · 60+ Microsoft 365 suites · Monthly Licensing updates

We don't replace your experts. Same team. Same expertise. 10x the output.

The bottleneck was never knowledge. It is that every recommendation gets handcrafted out of portals, price lists and spreadsheets. Softspend does that work continuously, across every tenant.

The addressable market is enormous. Six things limit how much of it you can reach.

What it is costing you

Losing Revenue

Microsoft is rewarding partners who drive customer growth, not just simply maintain the status quo.

Funding Unclaimed

Every partner has unclaimed Microsoft funding (Co-Op). The issue is scale to drive that funding pipeline.

Losing Deals

Calculating optimised bundles, incentives and promotional discounts manually in spreadsheets is slow and prone to human error.

Why it happens

Capacity to scale

High effort to do client analysis impacts speed and scalability.

Hard to differentiate

It's a highly competitive market. What value do you bring to the table to win and keep customers.

Microsoft Complexity

400 features, 60+ overlapping plans, hidden dependencies, monthly changes.

Softspend builds the analysis for you, across every tenant you manage.

One platform, three ways to win

Defensible upgrades across your whole book

Softspend scores every tenant against a framework, shows what the current licence already covers, and prices the gap. Each upgrade you propose is backed by the assessment.

Quote on value, not lowest cost

Each quote is built from that tenant’s own usage and gaps, with the optimum bundle and current promotions applied. You compete on how well the recommendation fits, not on discount.

Scale delivery with your existing team

Three to five days of senior analysis per engagement becomes an automated baseline and cost model. Your team runs more engagements at a better service margin.

Grow your book of business

Anyone can quote the shopping list. Challenge your customers and prospects with what they actually use, and what they will need next.

How it works

  1. Assess — Softspend scores every tenant against leading frameworks in one click, showing the security gaps and target features that become your upsell motion.
  2. Plan — Softspend maps those features to licensing suites and recommends the roadmap and phasing. The gaps become the deal, and your services deliver it.
  3. Optimise — Softspend compares what they actually use against what they need, returning the optimum bundle with promos, so you secure the licensing deal.
  4. Manage — Softspend tracks improvements in feature adoption and security posture, so you can evidence the value of your professional and managed services in the next QBR.

Where the growth comes from

  • Win new logos — The CSP motion is happening now. Challenge your prospects by quoting what they actually use.
  • Upsell your existing book — Assessments surface the security gaps that become your upsell motion.
  • FY27 growth margin — Unlock the growth incentives on every deal you close.
  • Attach new services — Implement the new features and attach your services across new logos and your existing book.

The funding is yours. Nobody has claimed it.

Microsoft pays partners to do assessment and deployment work, through Commerce Incentives and ECIF. Eligibility is assessed per tenant. A claim needs a documented baseline and a plan — and every assessment already builds one.

~$15K per tenant, typical claim. Amounts vary by programme, workload and tenant size.

Why it goes unclaimed: The paperwork, not the eligibility.

What changes: The assessment produces the paperwork.
