Microsoft 365 consolidation and licence optimisation

Ball & Doggett brought Comans in to consolidate Microsoft 365 tenants, tidy up licences and tighten tenant settings, cutting costs and improving security.

Client

Ball & Doggett

Timeline

Discovery and consolidation: 6 to 10 weeks.

Key Tooling

Microsoft 365 | Intune | licence analysis tools

Outcome

Lower licence spend and simpler tenant management.

Challenge

  • Ball & Doggett had licence sprawl, inconsistent tenant settings and unused accounts, which increased cost and security risk.
  • They needed a simpler, more secure Microsoft 365 environment.

What we did

  • Ran discovery and analysed licence usage to find waste and duplication.
  • Consolidated tenants and aligned licence types to what people actually used.
  • Tightened tenant settings and applied a security baseline (MFA, Conditional Access).
  • Set up governance templates and a simple dashboard to track licence usage and stop waste creeping back in.

Outcome

  • The consolidation cut licence spend, simplified admin and improved baseline security across the tenant.
  • Ongoing governance helped stop waste creeping back in.
“Client sign-off pending. Licence costs are easier to predict, and our security baseline is stronger.”
