Our client wanted to gain a comprehensive understanding of their current licensing position and future costs associated with Microsoft Power Platform products. Their objectives included ensuring compliance with licensing rules and identifying potential areas for improvement, both in the short and long term. They had pinpointed several potential areas of risk and sought to investigate these further, with a particular focus on compliance, cost management, and strategic future planning.
To achieve these goals, the organisation planned to:
By focusing on these areas, the Government organisation aimed to not only manage costs and risks effectively but also enhance their overall operational efficiency and compliance posture.
Synyega were engaged to identify opportunities to confirm licensing requirements, reduce licensing costs, and model future scenarios across Dynamics 365, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI. Our deep Microsoft licensing knowledge, client focus, and ability to offer truly independent advice made Synyega a great fit for this client’s needs.
Synyega worked closely with internal subject matter experts, reviewed data from several areas, and conducted interviews and discussion sessions with key stakeholders from several relevant teams to understand:
Future growth, both of the organisation and the use of Microsoft products, as well as organisational changes were also considered as part of the licensing review and recommendations. Synyega reviewed the technical systems and designs that underpinned the current implementations and made suggestions for architectural changes that would reduce the overall license requirements and spend.
Recommendations were also made for changes which would enable greater value to be realised from the solutions, at minimal additional cost, whilst reducing the risk of potential non-compliance in the future. Although not all recommendations could be implemented immediately, the report helped to give guidance for decisions that may be taken in the future – helping offer long-term benefits.
Our work enabled the client to reduce their exposure to compliance risk, review and strengthen internal processes, and start to take a licensing conscious approach to future system design for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. This strategic shift enables the client to make informed decisions regarding software licensing, optimising costs and ensuring compliance with licensing agreements. This forward-thinking approach positions the client for compliant growth and scalability.
Through the comprehensive documentation we provided, key stakeholders now have a clearer understanding of the risks and challenges involved with this area of Microsoft licensing, and the business overall can navigate this complex landscape effectively. This enhanced awareness fosters a culture of compliance and accountability within the organisation and helps to solidify the ITAM team as the central resource for such scenarios.
Overall, our work has provided the business with a solid foundation to move forward confidently. With reduced compliance risks, strengthened internal processes, and a strategic approach to licensing, the client is well-positioned to achieve their long-term objectives and drive continued success.
"This really helped us see where we needed to focus and to set guardrails and guidelines internally. It’s enabled us to avoid risk and set clear goals for future development"
