Helping Microsoft partners win more deals
Microsoft 365 Licensing Intelligence for Partners
Your pipeline can scale. Manual pre-sales can't.
The bottleneck isn't knowledge. It's the manual work behind every recommendation, built from portals, price lists and spreadsheets, one tenant at a time.
400 features to track · 60+ overlapping plans · 1 tenant at a time
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
Hidden dependencies, and a mapping that changes every month.
10x We don't replace your experts. Same team. Same expertise. Ten times the output.
One workflow.
From tenant assessment to licensing recommendations, proposals and Microsoft funding, Softspend brings the work behind every deal into one automated workflow.
Assess: Framework assessments
Softspend scores a tenant against the framework you choose, whether CIS, Zero Trust or Copilot Readiness, and turns each gap into a costed licensing upgrade, with the evidence behind it.
Assess: Copilot readiness
Copilot can reach whatever a user can already reach, so a tenant needs both the right licences and the right identity and data controls before it goes live. The assessment checks every feature for both and reports what is missing.
Plan: Suite comparison
Put any two suites side by side and see every feature that is included. Each one comes with a clear summary of what it does and what changes for the client when it is switched on.
Optimise: Cost optimisation
Reclaim inactive and unassigned licences, then downgrade users to the suite their profile actually needs. The cheapest bundle that still covers them is priced with Microsoft promotions applied, and totalled into one annual saving.
Manage: Upgrade proposals
Build a costed proposal straight from the assessment. Each scenario is priced over one or three years and ends with a bill of materials procurement can order from.
Manage: Microsoft funding, evidenced
Microsoft pays partners to do assessment and deployment work through Commerce Incentives. A claim needs a documented baseline and a plan. Every Softspend assessment produces both automatically.
One platform, three ways to win
Defensible upgrades across your whole book
Every gap becomes a costed upgrade with the evidence behind it. Renewals stop arriving flat, and every QBR has something to say.
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 becomes an automated baseline and cost model. The accounts below your top twenty get the same treatment.
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.
Where the growth comes from
- Win new logos — The CSP motion is happening now. Challenge your prospects by quoting what they actually use.
- Upsell to your existing book — Assessments surface the security gaps that become your upsell motion.
- Unlock FY27 growth margin — Standardised upgrade proposals upsell more licensing on every deal, and the margin follows.
- Attach new services — Implement the new features and attach your services across new logos and your existing book.
How it works
- Assess — Softspend scores every tenant against leading frameworks in one click, showing the security gaps and target features that become your upsell motion.
- Plan — Softspend maps target features to product suites and recommends the roadmap and phasing. The gaps become the deal, and your services deliver it.
- Optimise — Softspend compares what customers actually use against what they need, returning the optimum bundle with promos, so you secure the licensing deal.
- Manage — Softspend tracks feature adoption and security posture, and continuously optimises, surfacing the next renewal or upsell automatically so every QBR becomes a new deal, not just a check-in.
