IT Partner
IT Spend Optimization

Before you renew another IT contract, get a second opinion.

Give us your Tenant Optimizer results, your IT bills and agreements, and a short map of your environment. You get back a ranked plan — the IT Spend Diagnostic & Action Plan — showing where to spend less, what to renegotiate, and which expensive-looking systems you should keep exactly as they are.

Read-only. Confidential. Nothing in your environment is changed. No obligation to use us for the fixes.

Request your IT spend review

Helps us size the review before we talk — estimates are fine.

Renewal windows decide what can realistically change, and when.

A person replies the same business day. No documents are uploaded at this step, and your information does not join a marketing list.

03 / The problem

Most IT waste is not one bad decision. It is ten reasonable decisions that now overlap.

An extra security product added during an audit.
A support agreement nobody revisited after a migration.
Licenses sized for last year's headcount.
Cloud resources left running because nobody owns the shutdown decision.
Automatic renewals that arrive as line items, not decisions.

Each expense had a reason. Together, they deserve a fresh look.

04 / What we review

Send us the chart. We read between the line items.

Tenant scan

Your Tenant Optimizer results: Microsoft 365 licensing waste, dormant accounts, security gaps, configuration drift. Don't have one? The scan is free and read-only.

Bills + agreements

Six to twelve months of IT invoices, plus the contracts behind them. Bills reveal the price; agreements reveal the term, minimum commitments, cancellation rights, and escalators.

Chart · 3

Environment + renewals

A short questionnaire and your renewal calendar — headcount, locations, critical workloads, planned projects. This turns theoretical savings into a plan tied to real decision windows.

The full review extends across Azure and cloud, SaaS, support and MSP agreements, telecom, security tooling, and devices — a focused Microsoft-only scope is also available.

05 / The deliverable

Not a list of cuts. A plan you can defend.

Executive summary

Fourteen findings across licensing, support agreements, and cloud spend. Six recommended changes, four renegotiations, and four systems recommended to keep unchanged. All figures below are illustrative. Illustrative

Every recommendation shows the financial impact as a low / expected / high range with its assumptions, the operational risk, the implementation effort, and the best action window. Hard-dollar savings are kept separate from one-time avoidance and future cost avoidance — no single magic number.

The signature page

The "Do not cut" list

The services that look expensive but should stay, because removing them would create security, compliance, continuity, or productivity risk that outweighs the savings.

  • Immutable backup tier continuity
  • Conditional Access licensing security
  • After-hours support retainer productivity
  • Archive mailbox add-ons compliance

Entries are illustrative — yours come from your evidence. Illustrative

06 / One finding, in full

The shape of a finding — not the numbers.

Illustrative example
Current state

Two overlapping endpoint-security products, one from an old MSP bundle, both renewing.

Recommendation

Consolidate to the one already included in your Microsoft 365 licensing; let the duplicate lapse at renewal.

07 / How it works

How it works — and where the boundaries are.

01 /

Scope and secure intake

We confirm fit, offer an NDA, then send a secure upload link and the context questionnaire. Nothing sensitive touches a public form.

02 /

Analyze the evidence

Licenses, bills, agreements, renewals, environment.

03 /

Validate with you

Assumptions checked with your team before anything is called a saving.

04 /

Deliver

The Diagnostic & Action Plan plus a walkthrough of the findings.

Fixed scope. Fixed price. Read-only.

  • The price and timeline are confirmed in writing before any work begins
  • Read-only access only — we change nothing in your systems, contracts, or licenses during the assessment
  • You control every credential and can revoke access at any time
  • Retention and deletion terms are provided before any document transfer
  • Remediation is optional and separately approved
08 / Working with your team

A second opinion is not a vote of no confidence.

We work beside your internal IT team or current provider, not around them. The goal is an independent view of the evidence — not a manufactured reason to replace people doing good work. Many findings become leverage your own team uses in vendor conversations.

And yes — we sell implementation too. The assessment is priced to stand on its own, the plan is yours to take anywhere, including to your current provider, and whether anything gets implemented — and by whom — is a separate decision that stays with you.

09 / Proof

Names, not logos.

Named owner

Every review is read and signed off by Mike Mackey, founder

Not delegated to a scoring model. The findings walkthrough is with the people who did the analysis.

10 / Straight answers

What CFOs ask before sending the chart.

No. The full review covers cloud, SaaS, support and MSP agreements, telecom, security, and devices. A focused Microsoft 365 + Azure scope is available if you want to start smaller.
Documents (bills, agreements) through a secure upload link sent after a human reply — never through this page — plus optional read-only tenant access you can revoke in one click. NDA available before anything is transferred; retention and deletion terms stated up front. The public form never asks for credentials or files.
Normal. We work from what exists, flag the gaps, and tell you which missing documents would change the answer.
Yes, and it usually goes better when we do. They can join the findings walkthrough if you want them there.
No. Read-only, evidence in, report out. Nothing in your systems, contracts, or licenses is touched.
Every figure is a low / expected / high range with stated assumptions and a confidence level, validated with your team before delivery. Hard-dollar recurring savings, one-time avoidance, and future cost avoidance are reported separately.
No. The plan names an owner and action window for each finding — you, your provider, or us. Implementation is a separate, optional engagement.
Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed price — confirmed in writing after a short scoping conversation, before any work begins. The timeline depends on document volume; we commit to it in the same written scope.
