Overview
With annual subscriptions of licenses and adhoc purchases, it can be easy to lose track of what’s being utilized. Once off license requests from employees can see a license being allocated but not necessarily being utilized. Furthermore, not being able to associate license use against job roles (i.e. do all my Sales Directors have access to Power BI Pro) may be costing organizations from the loss of insights one might gain from the license use.
The Voleer Microsoft 365 License and Optimization Assessment pulls information across both M365 and Azure AD to determine license availability, allocation and utilization for individuals and across job roles. License cost information can be manually adjusted from the provided RRP to determine actual subscription cost and under-utilization loss.
