Cut the Fat From Your Microsoft 365 Licensing

You might already know this, but it is almost guaranteed that you are overpaying for Microsoft 365. If you took your Microsoft sales rep at their word, remove that ‘almost’ from the previous sentence.

The complex licensing structures that Enterprise contracts require are designed to confuse and inflate your spending, compliance liability, and make it harder to track who is using what.

You're Over-Paying for Microsoft 365

There are workers who are draining your IT budget through no fault of their own. And Microsoft has no interest in telling you who or where they are in your organization.

Slim 360 gives you the visibility you need to find those workers, review their usage patterns and optimize your Office 365 Licenses to suit their actual measured software needs.

 

What Are People Saying About SLIM 360?

"When we signed the EA we listened to what our Microsoft and reseller Reps told us we should buy. We never should have. We over-paid for 3 years. Money we will never get back. I was shocked when I saw the results. Almost 400 users that never used Office 365 at all. We thought everyone used email, but when we investigated we were shocked. Our field service reps never used a single Office 365 service. We were able to change the license we bought for them and save significant money.”
- CIO, Fortune 50 Company

“If you asked me again, I’m still not sure I’d believe it. 1000 Users not using at least email! It was true, we had the data needed to investigate it. I was shocked to find not only Accounts that were not active or even humans that had licenses but that we also had a large population of employees in our distribution centers that didn’t even use a single Office 365 service”
- IT Procurement Director

Stop Looking at Spreadsheets and Start Looking at Savings

Pulling thousands of lines of data and poring over spreadsheets is inefficient and strenuous. It leaves plenty of room for misinterpretation of the data and opens your organization to missed opportunities for massive savings.

By compiling your data from several different sources and presenting it in an easy-to-understand fashion, Slim 360 helps you not only unlock savings in your licensing but also allows you to quickly see the money you could be saving by optimizing your licensing.

Slim 360 provides unique views of your Office 365 usage data. These different licensing views allow you to make more efficient and effective changes to your licensing more accurately and much faster. The built-in logic within SLIM 360 also reduces the chances of human error entering the equation too.

SLIM 360 Visual Optimization

Slim 360 allows IT professionals to secure their network by closing access channels that can often be neglected or outright forgotten in large, complex organizations.

SLIM 360 will alert you if suspicious activity such as mass downloads, compromised accounts and if there is someone accessing the apps from an unrecognized IP or region.

See Where Your Software Budget is Going

By being able to visualize the licenses being used in your organization against the licenses you own, you can literally see where you are throwing money away.

You might think you know exactly who is licensed and what employees use which programs, but those assumptions are often wildly incorrect.

Seeing exactly what your employees are using with Slim 360 allows you to shore up any O365 and Azure investment being wasted on employees who don’t use the software they’re licensed for.

You can also prepare your organization for the years ahead – SLIM 360 keeps track of your company’s EA renewals and lets you know how much each true-up will cost, how much money is left in your renewal budget, and overall, when a renewal is coming.

On the Azure side of the operation, you’ll see your yearly commit costs and reservation costs as well.

A Cleaner Environment is a Secure Environment

Knowing who is coming and going in your licensing environment is a vital part of maintaining control of your software budget and security. Paying for licenses that are still assigned to people who are no longer with the organization is one of the most common wastes across every organization and creates openings for malicious activity on your network.

Slim 360 lets you see at-a-glance how many assigned licenses are actually being used, so you can reorganize your licensing faster and with more confidence.

Audit Defense For All

Auditors love a messy environment. By making assumptions about how your licenses are being used, auditors can inflate your compliance gaps by millions of dollars. But that gets much harder when you know what licenses are being used and by whom.

By having an organized and comprehensive view of your Office 365 licensing, you’ll have the tools to defend yourself against the auditor’s assumptions and drive your fines down to more reasonable levels.

Slim 360 doesn’t just give you the tools needed to save money on your licensing, it gives you a way to push back and truly defend yourself against aggressive audits that take advantage of complex contracts and disorganized environments.

The Only Platform Built for the Enterprise Environment

While complex licensing contracts often result in overspending, untangling those webs creates a streamlined environment that allows you to take control of your software budget. Slim 360 is designed to provide actionable insights to your Office 365 licenses and Azure commitments so you can make informed decisions around your software budget.

For Enterprise-level organizations, the cost of over-licensing employees can result in millions of dollars per month being wasted, which is why Slim 360 is designed to compare your usage to the available licensing tiers and highlight where your employees are over-licensed, and how much it is costing you.

Slim 360 creates a streamlined and modern approach to Software Asset Management by organizing your licensing in a way that is both easy to understand and comprehensive. This approach makes license optimization more accessible and more efficient.
