Microsoft 365 Optimization

Save 20-40% on Your Microsoft Renewal

Quick wins in 60-90 days. Free initial assessment to identify immediate savings opportunities across your Microsoft estate.

M365 Azure Licensing
The Challenge

Microsoft's licensing model changes constantly — new SKUs, bundled services, shifting compliance requirements. Most IT teams don't have the bandwidth to track every change, which means you're almost certainly overpaying.

Most organizations overpay for Microsoft by 15-20% — not because they negotiated poorly, but because Microsoft's licensing complexity is designed to make optimization nearly impossible. UMS brings 25+ years of Microsoft licensing expertise to cut through the noise. We found NYC Housing Authority over $500K in savings in just 3 weeks by analyzing their agreement renewal window. For a 5,000-user enterprise at $25/user/month, typical E3 vs E5 optimization and license right-sizing delivers $270K+ in annual savings.

No. We optimize what you have. Most savings come from right-sizing licenses, improving contract terms, and eliminating waste — not reducing capabilities.
