If you’re looking to migrate from your current on premise software estate into the Cloud you know how important it is to know exactly what licenses you have and how those licenses are being used by your team. Knowing this is critical to successfully planning and optimising your cloud migration, but are you aware that it can also give you additional budget to fund your upgrades?
