Did you know?
Organizations below approximately 2,400 seats are increasingly being moved away from EA and toward CSP or Microsoft Customer Agreement for Enterprise.
It starts with a diagnostic.
No statement of work required. We analyze existing data before we discuss solutions, and if there's no leverage to find, we'll tell you that too.
Collect
Usage reports, license inventory, contract and pricing documents, and identity data. All of it exists in your environment already.
Analyze
Purchased vs. assigned vs. active, benchmarked against market comps, with contract structure and compliance exposure mapped.
Negotiate
Alongside you through the full renewal: managing the timeline, holding the vendor to what was proposed, closing below their best and final.
Manage and stay
Reclamation cadence, true-up preparation, and a head start on the next renewal, so the leverage compounds instead of resetting.
The diagnostic costs nothing, and on renewals, nothing is owed unless we produce savings. Renewal negotiations typically close 8–15% below the vendor's best and final.
Three situations that bring software owners to us.
If one of these sounds like the conversation happening inside your company right now, that's a strong indicator an engagement with us will be impactful.
“Our renewal is coming and we have no independent read on whether the quote is fair.”
The vendor knows your environment better than you do. That's the problem.
They know exactly what you own, what you use, and what you paid last time. Auto-renewal mechanics, true-up terms, and entitlement structures are written in their favor, and the quote arrives on their timeline, engineered to look like the safe choice.
What we bring: a forensic diagnostic of usage reports, license inventory, contract and pricing documents, and identity data, benchmarked against market comps. Then we negotiate alongside you through the full renewal, holding the vendor to what was proposed. Across renewal negotiations, we typically land 8–15% below the vendor's best and final.
“We're almost certainly over-licensed, but nobody can prove it.”
Purchased, assigned, and actually used are three different numbers.
Licenses accumulate through headcount changes, M&A, bundled upsells, and SKUs nobody remembers choosing. Without a rationalized view of what was purchased versus assigned versus active, the true-up bill just keeps compounding.
What we bring: SKU rationalization and entitlement rightsizing grounded in real usage data. On one anniversary true-up alone, proactive rightsizing avoided $200K; on a single Dynamics renewal, restructuring misaligned modules avoided $550K annually.
“We're worried an audit or true-up will surprise us.”
Find the exposure before the vendor does.
Contract structures hide compliance risk in entitlement terms, indirect access provisions, and deployment definitions. Vendors run audits as revenue events, and by the time the letter arrives, the leverage is theirs.
What we bring: a contract structure review and compliance baseline that surfaces the exposure early, plus remediation, consolidation, and licensing-plan restructuring so the audit finds a clean house.
When companies typically call us.
Software leverage is a function of time. Any of these inside 6-12 months is the moment to start.
Enterprise agreement renewal inside 6-12 months
Anniversary true-up approaching
Audit notice or license review letter
M&A tenant and entitlement consolidation
Platform migration decision (e.g. VMware alternatives)
Copilot and AI SKU pressure from the vendor
New IT or finance leadership inheriting the estate
PE ownership with EBITDA targets on the table
The diagnostic runs on data you already have. No statement of work required to start, and on
renewals, nothing is owed unless we produce savings.
Three reasons clients choose us over
traditional audits and buying groups.
We audit before the buy.
Traditional software audits take months and charge project fees before telling you anything. Buying groups sell commitments. We start with a no-cost diagnostic of data you already have: usage exports, license inventory, contracts, and login data.
Platform depth across the majors.
Microsoft, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, VMware, ServiceNow, Adobe, IBM. We know each platform's pricing mechanics, true-up behavior, and negotiation calendar, down to which usage reports and price sheets to pull.
Our compensation follows your savings.
Gain share on renegotiated renewals means we're paid when we deliver savings, so the diagnostic is oriented toward finding real leverage, not justifying an engagement. New deployments are vendor-paid after go-live.
Vendors know exactly what you use, own, and pay. Most buyers don't.
We close that information gap before the negotiation starts, and we sit on your side of the table: no quota, no preferred vendor, no resale margin.
No cost to engage
Sourcing engagements come at no cost to your portfolio companies. We're
compensated by the supplier ecosystem when a portco transacts and
services are implemented
We're not a VAR. We're not a CSP. We sit alongside whatever reseller relationship you already have and pressure-test both the software provider and the partner you're buying through, so you don't have to walk away from anything to get an honest second read. One client's renewal was inside a window their reseller called locked. We found the contract language that said otherwise, and the change went through.
What this looks like in practice.
A comprehensive Microsoft environment review: license reductions, SKU corrections, a misapplied SKU credit recovered, Azure restructuring, and a compliance baseline, with realized savings 90 days from introduction and a quarterly optimization cadence behind it.

Read the case study →After a cross-border acquisition, we consolidated Microsoft licensing onto E5, executed tenant consolidation across entities, sourced a global MSP, and implemented managed Azure, making the next acquisition routine.
