Whether your organization has 1,000 or 1 million Microsoft 365 licenses, Keystone has successfully negotiated both and everything in between. Our negotiation methodology and tools are key components of the process, but the true proof lies in our negotiation outcomes. Our results consistently surpass benchmark rates. If you feel “locked in” to Microsoft and worry about potential price increases, Keystone will work with you to develop a licensing and commercial strategy for a successful negotiation.
Microsoft Licensing Advisory
Separate from negotiating a Microsoft renewal, it is during the EA and Azure contracts that overspending and shelfware can occur. Having access to a team of independent ex-Microsoft licensing specialists will result in cost savings and cost avoidance. The advice you receive from your reseller and Microsoft is designed to sell you more licenses, not save you money. Keystone will reduce your Microsoft bill and we provide a guaranteed ROI.
Cost Savings Services
Keystone has examined numerous Azure subscriptions and Microsoft 365 tenants, uncovering cost savings ranging from 5% to 34%. Some savings can be realised immediately, while others may be realised at the EA anniversary date. Your reseller and Microsoft do not have granular insights into utilisation data, and even if they did, they wouldn’t tell you how to save money. Keystone is independent; we have the best tools and have worked with some of the largest companies and governments around the world.
