5 Microsoft 365 Licensing Mistakes We Fix Every Week
Most companies discover at least two of these in the first 30 days working with us.
Assigning E3 to every employee
Most workers only need Business Standard. E3 is for power users, IT, and compliance roles. Correct assignment routinely saves $15–20/user/month.
Not claiming Microsoft NCE discounts
New Commerce Experience annual commits offer lower rates. Many buyers on monthly plans pay 20% more than necessary.
Buying add-ons that are already included
Teams Phone, Defender for Business, and Intune are bundled in premium plans. We see companies paying twice for capabilities they already own.
Letting licenses sit unused after churn
Inactive accounts accumulate. Without regular audits, 15–25% of seats are typically orphaned and still being billed.
Skipping hybrid or co-existence planning
Migrating without a coexistence strategy causes mail flow failures and Teams disruption. Proper planning eliminates downtime.
