The Cost of Inefficient Microsoft EA Licensing
Every dollar wasted on unused or misaligned Microsoft licenses is a growth killer. Inefficient licensing drains resources, exposes your organization to compliance and security risks, and slows down the momentum your business depends on. The longer it goes unchecked, the more money, agility, and competitive edge you lose.
