Are your software licences keeping you up at night?
If managing your licences feels like a constant challenge, you’re not alone. Many businesses struggle to keep track of what software they need, what they’re paying for, and whether they’re using it effectively. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, the terms change or costs start to rise. Licensing can be overwhelming and costly when you’re unsure of what you need. In a recent poll conducted by Synapse360 50% said that they were struggling with rising costs, but that isn’t the only licensing associated horror keeping them up at night. Here we will break down key issues that our experts see from our customers…
Unclear Licence Requirements
It can be difficult to determine which licences are necessary for each department or employee. Should everyone have the same package? Does every team member need access to all the tools within Microsoft 365? Often, businesses either over-purchase or don’t fully utilise what they have, leading to inefficiencies. At Synapse360 we can conduct a free audit to help you establish what licences are needed and when! Busier at some times of the year and not at others? We can help you scale up and down your licenses to find a solution that works for you. Better yet, we’ll even manage them for you so you don’t have the headache of dealing with them!
Paying for Unused and End of Life Licenses
Many businesses are unknowingly paying for licenses that aren’t being used—whether it’s for former employees, unnecessary premium tools, or even software that has reached its end of life. These outdated or unused licenses can lead to significant wasted costs over time. Our comprehensive audit will help you identify what’s needed, when to renew, and assess the costs, ensuring your departments spend is optimised, and you’re not overpaying. End of life licenses pose a unique challenge as they may no longer be supported or secure, yet still drain your budget unnecessarily. It’s time to stop paying for licenses you don’t use or need and make your software investment smarter and more efficient. Let us help you maximise your ROI by eliminating these hidden costs.
