Microsoft 365 Licence Waste Solution Brief
Leavers, duplicates and dormant accounts keep billing while the proof sits in three separate reports.

Cost and licence pressure
Finance wants a number and IT has to defend it. These two briefs set out what the evidence must contain before a reclaim or a resize is approved.

Solution brief
Leavers, duplicates and dormant accounts keep billing while the proof sits in three separate reports.

Solution brief
Part of the Azure bill is still sized for a migration that finished a year ago.
Windows 365 and Cloud PC
A Cloud PC programme is approved once and lived with for years. These briefs cover the operating decision and the supported migration route.

Solution brief
The rollout reached production, but nobody can say why a particular user got that Cloud PC.

Solution brief
Microsoft supports the migration route. Eligibility, scheduling and cleanup around it are still yours to run.
Operations and endpoints
A recurring service review or a difficult device case should not start from an empty export.

Solution brief
Every service review begins by rebuilding the same report pack from scratch.
Secure it and prove it
Security, governance and the service owner need the same findings, the same owners and the same record of what changed.

Solution brief
Posture evidence lives across five consoles and then dies in a spreadsheet.

Solution brief
A policy changed months ago and nobody can prove what it looked like before.
Govern AI adoption
A pilot makes existing access far easier to discover. Decide what has to close first, and who signs that off.

Solution brief
Copilot surfaces every oversharing mistake the tenant has been quietly carrying.
Rather see it against your own tenant
Connect one tenant and EtherInsights produces the same evidence against your real estate, with owners and dates attached. Fourteen days, and you keep whatever you find.
Technology partnerships
Where a decision spans more than our own product, we write the brief with the partner who owns the other half of it.

Partnership brief
The Cloud PC case stalls twice: no usage evidence to size it, and an endpoint estate that never joins the numbers.
The briefs give you the shape of the decision. EtherInsights fills it in with your own tenant, so the reclaim, the resize or the rollout gate is argued from numbers rather than memory.
