Case Study
For a company with 500 employees, I was able to achieve annual savings of €120,000 through a systematic analysis of Microsoft licenses. By optimizing license types, adjusting to actual usage profiles, and consolidating contracts, not only were costs reduced, but the compliance situation was also significantly improved.
