Office 365 Rightsizing Identifies Annual Savings of 45% For Engineering Firm

The customer, a large IT services engineering firm, was looking to optimize its spending on Office 365. They engaged Crayon to perform a complete assessment of their environment, which included a mix of paid subscriptions and Internal Use Rights from Microsoft. Their challenge was to rightsize their licenses based on actual user needs and understand the potential financial impact of losing their special entitlements.

Crayon implemented its Office 365 rightsizing service, using APIs to connect to the customer's portal and analyze user adoption and utilization. Following Crayon's initial recommendations, the customer adjusted their subscriptions, leading to a follow-up analysis. As a result of this engagement, Crayon identified significant annual savings of 45.5%, which amounted to $183,674 for the firm.
