Microsoft licensing, your competitive edge

Platform Capabilities

Assessments aligned to leading frameworks

Score each tenant against leading, recognised security frameworks. Every control maps to the licences that satisfy it, so gaps surface as actions, not findings.

Copilot readiness, diagnosed

Check every prerequisite for Microsoft 365 Copilot in one pass, spanning base licensing, identity, and workload provisioning, so you know exactly what stands between a tenant and deployment.

Explore what every feature delivers

Turn dense Microsoft documentation into clear, plain-language summaries. Understand the business impact of any feature in seconds, so you plan the stack around what actually matters.

Align technology with business strategy

Map Microsoft 365 capabilities directly to strategic outcomes, so the plan advances the client's priorities across security, productivity and compliance, not just a licence SKU.

Cut spend with optimised bundles

Right-size every client to the leanest bundle that still covers its needs, then surface the dollars: suite downgrades, and applicable promotions, totalled into one defensible annual saving.

How far the licence they already own takes you

Scope the assessment to what the tenant is licensed for and see the framework maturity reachable today with no new spend. Every remaining control is a true gap that needs an upgrade, not just a configuration change.

The costed pathway to the target framework tier

When a control needs more than configuration, Softspend recommends the optimum upgrade stack to reach the target tier, with promos factored in and the cost worked out before the conversation.

Turn Microsoft complexity into *competitive advantage*

01 — Shape the decision, don't audit it

Most licensing tools look backward at inactive users, unused seats, and cleanup recommendations. Softspend looks forward: demand planning, solution alignment, cost modelling, and business cases that close deals.

02 — Proprietary feature intelligence

300+ features mapped to licensing paths, continuously updated. No more Ctrl-F through Microsoft Docs. Instant answers that become your unfair advantage in competitive deals.

03 — Market timing

Microsoft's November 2025 pricing changes removed volume discounts. Partner funding now rewards Copilot and security upgrades. Clients are asking questions partners can't answer fast enough. Systematic licensing intelligence wins. Spreadsheets don't.
