Microsoft 365 Drilldown
Use a M365 Drilldown to find and benefit from optimizations.
You’ve Already Got It Handled. Right?
Organizations run efficiently with subscription portals to see Microsoft 365 (M365) usage, automation tools for provisioning licenses, and most importantly, employing a talented and knowledgeable team. But even customers with strong controls in place often have more than 5% licensing excess; without them it can be much more.
Remend’s analysis is infused with a human touch. Our analysts use their decades of experience to identify patterns, nuances and opportunities to save you money. Then, we’ll work with you to refine recommendations and develop action plans.
- Sometimes, we’ll tell you to leave things as they are.
- Other times, we’ll ask you to think about your approach in a completely different way.
- Regardless, you will either walk away with cost savings or the confidence that you are on top of the situation.
Before charging you a dime, we estimate your savings. This enables you to make the right decision for your organization. No guessing. No surprises. We provide the numbers, and you make the next move.

When is the Best Time to Optimize a Subscription?
Contract anniversaries are the best times to adjust subscriptions. Microsoft allows changes mid-term at anniversary, not just at renewal, although declaration timing must be considered as part of their rules. Changes can be made until signatures are in place at contract renewal. In both instances, removing subscriptions at the account level can be done prior to or after the anniversary depending on the category of the change.
Additional opportunities for subscriptions changes include:
- Prior to making a bulk licensing purchase or reservation.
- During merger and acquisition planning to identify how differing structures will fall out and avoid migrating unnecessary data and mailboxes
- Planning budgets by using trend analysis including role, department, and other details.
Qualifying the Drilldown Value of the M365 Snapshot
The M365 Snapshot is a low- or no-cost review for qualified customers to calculate the potential value of a Drilldown engagement.
The data is comprised of a Drilldown subset specifically focused on identifying potential outcomes and calculating return on investment.
Results from the M365 Snapshot will confirm that you’re on track and no further action is required, or you will benefit from optimizations. A Drilldown is likely the next step when there is opportunity to benefit from optimizations.
