What
do we do, exactly?
Our services are designed around the challenges our clients are facing.
Financial Planning for Cloud migration
Migration from on-premise to Azure, AWS, GCP often incurs unexpected, unnecessary costs. We ensure that you benefit from all cost reduction options by planning ahead and intelligently re-using your existing licenses.

Microsoft 365 offers a range of bundled plans and individual components. It's easy to get lost in detail and overlook the value gap. We shall assess and plan your requirements and benchmark the best suitable options to ensure that you only pay for what you need.
Microsoft EA and CSP Negotiations
Microsoft's "New Commerce Experience" is dramatically transforming how its licensing agreements work. Our expert negotiators will guide you through the uncertain landscape, benchmark discounts, leverage new opportunities, and help you strike the best possible deal.
