Common Engagements

Which situation describes yours?

We have advised enterprises in every Microsoft negotiation scenario. Each link below goes to a detailed page explaining how we approach that situation and what results are typical.

EA Renewal & Negotiation

Your Enterprise Agreement is renewing. Microsoft's initial proposal will not be their best offer. We benchmark, counter, and negotiate alongside your team.

Microsoft 365 Optimization

Most enterprises carry 15–30% unused M365 licenses. We identify the waste, right-size your subscription, and prevent future over-purchasing.

True-Up & Compliance Defense

True-ups are a pressure tactic. We help you understand your actual exposure, challenge Microsoft's position, and negotiate settlement terms.

True-up defense process →

Azure Cost Management

Azure commitment structures — Reserved Instances, MACCs, Savings Plans — are complex. We model the right mix and negotiate favorable terms.

Copilot Licensing Strategy

Microsoft is pushing Copilot hard. The ROI case is unclear for most enterprise deployments. We provide an independent evaluation before you commit.

EA to MCA Transition

Microsoft is steering enterprises toward MCA. Whether that move makes sense depends entirely on your profile — we model both scenarios objectively.

Common Questions

Before you reach out

Answers to the questions we receive most often from enterprise teams considering advisory support.

What size of enterprise do you typically advise?
Our engagements typically involve enterprises with 1,000+ employees and annual Microsoft spend of $500K or more. Below that threshold, the advisory fee is difficult to justify against the savings potential.
How are your advisory fees structured?
We charge fixed project fees based on engagement scope and complexity. We never charge success fees as a percentage of savings — that model creates conflicts of interest we want no part of. Fees are discussed in the initial assessment call.
Are you affiliated with Microsoft or any Microsoft partner?
No. We are 100% independent. We accept no referral fees, channel commissions, or payments from Microsoft or its partner network. Our only revenue source is client advisory fees.
How quickly can you engage if my renewal is imminent?
We can typically mobilize within 5–7 business days for urgent situations. That said, the earlier you engage before a renewal deadline, the more leverage we can generate. Contacting us 6–12 months before renewal is optimal.
Do you work with Microsoft directly during negotiations?
Yes. We participate directly in negotiations, either alongside your team or, in some cases, as the primary negotiating party depending on your preference and Microsoft's account structure.
What information do I need to provide to get started?
For the initial call, we need your current EA renewal date, your approximate Microsoft spend, and a general sense of the products in scope. Detailed data gathering happens in our formal Discovery phase after engagement commences.
