The Microsoft Pricing Complexity Challenge
Microsoft's pricing structure has evolved significantly over the past decade, creating a complex web of licensing options that can confuse even experienced IT professionals. Between per-user subscriptions, consumption-based pricing, volume discounts, enterprise agreements, and CSP options, determining the most cost-effective approach requires deep expertise and continuous market knowledge.
Many UK organisations unknowingly overpay for Microsoft services due to:
Outdated Licensing Models: Continuing with legacy agreements that no longer offer competitive pricing
Inappropriate Plan Selection: Using enterprise plans when business plans would suffice, or vice versa
Unnecessary Features: Paying for functionality that's never used or needed
Reseller Markups: Additional fees imposed by intermediaries who add little value
Lack of Regular Reviews: Failing to optimise licensing as business needs evolve
