Get expert guidance on security, licensing and Microsoft strategy, funded by Microsoft
Many organisations qualify for Microsoft-funded engagements but never take advantage of them. Discover the assessments, workshops and optimisation programmes available to help reduce risk, improve value from Microsoft investments and support future planning.
Microsoft funding is available. Most organisations don’t know where to start.
Organisations often invest heavily in Microsoft technologies without fully understanding:
- Security risks across identities, devices and data
- Whether they’re making the most of Microsoft 365 E5
- Opportunities to reduce licensing costs
- How prepared they are for AI and Copilot
- Which Microsoft investments should be prioritised next
Microsoft-funded engagements help answer these questions without the cost of a traditional consultancy engagement.
