Free assessment
Map your Microsoft estate
Forty-five minutes and a written summary. What you are licensed for, what is switched on, where the gaps are, and what we would fix first.
Who books this
- Your tenant has been running a few years and nobody has reviewed it in that time
- You are not confident what you are paying for or whether it is all in use
- You inherited the estate and the documentation did not come with it
- Something is about to change: a renewal, a move, an acquisition, an audit
What you get
- A written summary of what you are licensed for against what is assigned and used
- The security gaps we found, ranked by how much risk each one removes
- Whether your Microsoft 365 data is actually backed up, and what happens if it is not
- A prioritised list of what we would fix first, and what can wait
What we need from you
- Read access to your Microsoft 365 admin centre, or a screen share if you would rather not grant it
- Someone who knows how the business actually works for part of the call
- Your current licence counts, if you have them to hand
When not to book this
If you have a capable internal IT team who already run a licence reconciliation and a posture review on a cycle, this will tell you things you already know. Book the specific piece you are unsure about instead.
One we have done
Full billing & licence visibility
How Systech gave a client full visibility of its Azure billing and Microsoft licence estate, turning a confusing bill into quantified, actionable spend.

Other assessments
- Security posture review: Most of what we find is not missing products. It is features you already pay for that were never switched on. Forty-five minutes to find out which.
- Cloud cost review: Non-production running around the clock, orphaned resources nobody decommissioned, and licences still assigned to leavers. Forty-five minutes to quantify yours.
- Cyber Essentials readiness check: The five control themes, checked against what you actually run. Most first-time failures are the same handful of things, and all of them are cheaper to fix before you apply.
- Application compatibility assessment: Migrations do not stall on operating systems, they stall on a handful of applications nobody can account for. This sorts your estate into the four groups that actually matter, before you commit budget to any of it.
- Virtual desktop review: Whether you are choosing between Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 or already running one and paying more than you expected, this is the same review: what the estate is doing, what it costs, and what it should cost.
- Copilot readiness check: Copilot does not grant anyone a single permission they did not already have. It just makes what they already had very easy to find, which is why the permissions work belongs before the licences and not after.
- Backup and recovery review: Everyone has a backup. Far fewer have a restore. The question worth answering is not whether jobs are running, it is when somebody last proved one and how long the business would be down.
- Application and reporting discovery: Most bespoke software goes wrong at scoping rather than in the build, and the most valuable thing a first conversation can do is establish whether you should be commissioning software at all.
- Endpoint and Intune review: Not whether Intune says the estate is compliant, but whether that means what you think it means: what is enrolled, what has gone quiet, which policies are actually winning, and what you could prove if somebody asked.
