MICROSOFT LICENSING
Getting the right combination of Microsoft licensing for your business will provide a consistent experience for your end-users, with the added potential of saving money or adding value by fully utilising the feature set included in the subscription.
LICENSING CONSULTANCY
Consider IT have been using Microsoft 365 since it was launched as Office 365 back in 2011. Throughout Microsoft’s developments there have been an impressive number of additional products and services made available within the many layers of subscriptions bundles on offer.
Navigating Microsoft’s licensing and features is somewhat of an art, and we at Consider IT remain very close to changes in this space, interacting with Microsoft vendors, communities, and global IT leaders to get the scoop on the latest enhancements and updates we can share with our customers.
Getting your licensing right determines what the next 12 months of security and productivity potential can look like. It’s a chat we get very excited about!

We love Microsoft 365 Business Premium and have successfully set a very high security standard for many clients using what is available within its feature set.

The discussions and capabilities get more complicated beyond 300 users, and we would always recommend a chat to decide which of Microsoft’s Enterprise features are the right ones for your business.
