We know how critical Microsoft 365 is to your organization, but we also know it can sometimes be difficult to manage and optimize, leading to the risk of overspend and waste. That’s why all SHI customers can benefit from our 365 Insight service, giving you the ability to optimize your 365 subscriptions to maximize consumption and eliminate waste.
SHI’s 365 Insight service is available in three subscription levels: Standard, Professional, and Professional Plus. Standard is free to all SHI customers and helps track utilization and adoption and shows how you can optimize spend. Professional adds the benefit of our team of Microsoft licensing experts, monthly reports on usage and spend, and recommendations to improve consumption and adoption.
Professional Plus delivers a fully managed experience that ensures you remain optimized throughout your 365 contract. Each subscription provides access to 24/7 on-demand reporting featuring custom dashboards that go beyond the data available in the Microsoft 365 portal. To start your journey to a fully optimized 365 environment, reach out to your SHI account executive or visit us online.
