Microsoft Software Licensing
Scout Outsource supplies Microsoft licensing including Microsoft 365, Azure, Windows Server and SQL Server, with licence optimisation and compliance review included, and guarantees to beat any Microsoft licensing price.
We review what you are entitled to against what you actually use before we quote. That is where the money is: wrong-tier assignments, seats still billing for leavers, and overlapping products bought by different departments. One global technology client's annual Microsoft cost fell by 21% on exactly that basis.
What’s included
- Microsoft 365 and Azure
- Business and Enterprise plans and Azure consumption under CSP, with reserved instance planning where it pays.
- Server and on-premise licensing
- Windows Server, SQL Server and client access licences, including hybrid use rights most organisations already hold.
- Licence optimisation
- Entitlement measured against actual consumption to surface unused seats and wrong-tier assignments.
- Compliance review
- Your position confirmed ahead of renewal or audit rather than during one.
- Price-beat guarantee
- Send your current quote or renewal and we will beat it.
Who this is for
Organisations approaching a Microsoft renewal, businesses whose licensing grew organically across sites, and anyone who has never had entitlement checked against actual use.
Common questions
How can you beat our current Microsoft pricing?
Partly on unit price through CSP, but mostly on the SKU mix. Most organisations are paying for the wrong tier on some users and for seats nobody is assigned to.
What does a licence optimisation review involve?
We compare your entitlement against actual usage across the tenant: assigned versus unassigned seats, tier against need, and duplicate products bought separately by different teams.
Will changing partner disrupt our service?
No. Moving CSP partner is an administrative change; your tenant, data and users are untouched and there is no downtime.
