Licensing

Licensing is an architecture decision, not a line item.

Design and review of Microsoft and cloud licensing based on the real environment: consumption, compliance, architecture and total cost.

When Rosit gets involved

Situations that usually drive the project

Recurring scenarios in companies running corporate environments that need a technical decision, not a stopgap.

Licenses purchased on a sales recommendation, unrelated to the resources the environment actually uses.

Third-party solutions paid separately for functions already included in the current licensing.

Oversized resources, no reservations where they'd fit, and no periodic consumption review.

Contracts renewed at the deadline, with no time to review actual need or alternatives.

Capabilities

Comparison between contracted licenses, enabled features and actual use by user profile.

A licensing plan defined from the required technical capabilities, not the other way around.

Verification of adherence to usage terms and correction of gaps before they become a problem.

Sizing, reservations, scheduled shutdown and elimination of idle resources.

Technical support during Microsoft, Azure and AWS contracting when applicable to the scenario.

Periodic reassessment following changes in team, architecture and billing model.

Execution

Every stage has a deliverable, an owner and a completion criterion agreed before it starts.
