Keeping your IT Licensing in Check
Keeping your IT Licensing in Check
I’ve seen way too many businesses paying for unused licenses or software they don’t remember signing up for. When you’re juggling multiple tools—like Microsoft 365, project-management platforms, and cloud storage—things can quickly get out of hand. Overspending is easy to overlook, and it adds up fast.
At Nexcom, we tackle this head-on. Our audit team regularly checks each client’s licenses to spot unused seats, mismatched subscriptions, or cheaper upgrades. Then we talk to our clients, see if they truly need everything they’re paying for, and adjust accordingly. It’s not rocket science; it’s about staying in communication, asking questions, and keeping an eye on anomalies.
Why Bother?
Cost Savings: Cancel what you don’t use, and save right away.
Efficiency: A clear picture of your tools prevents overlap and keeps budgets lean.
Compliance: Avoid fines or legal issues by verifying correct license usage.
Sure, not every MSP takes the time to audit your expenses—but it’s become a simple, practical way for us to deliver real savings to our clients. In most cases, the money you save can be reinvested into better infrastructure or strategic projects, instead of wasted on unused tools.
