Microsoft Licensing in Leicester
Microsoft 365 licensing for Leicester businesses, reviewed against what your people actually use. Business Basic through to E5, Entra ID tiers, Intune and the add-ons — matched to roles rather than bought in one uniform block because it was simpler at sign-up.
Why this comes up
The problem
Most organisations pay for a single licence tier across everyone, so warehouse staff who need email and nothing else cost the same as the finance team. The overspend compounds monthly and is invisible on the invoice.
What you get
What we deliver
- A role-by-role review of who genuinely needs which tier
- Dormant and duplicate licences identified, including accounts for people who have left
- A recommendation with the monthly difference stated plainly, before you commit
- Renewal dates and term commitments tracked, so auto-renewal stops making the decision
- Migration between tiers handled without interrupting mailboxes or files
- Nonprofit and education pricing checked where you qualify — many charities do not realise they do

Working in Leicester
East Midlands
Leicester is our home city. We are based here, most of our team lives here, and a good share of our clients are within a half-hour drive — which means site visits, workshops and hardware installs happen in person rather than over a call.
The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor.

Microsoft Licensing in Leicester — common questions
- Will downgrading tiers lose our data?
- Not if it is sequenced properly. Some features stop being available, which matters most for retention and advanced security policies, so the review checks what you actually rely on before anything changes. Data loss on a tier change is a planning failure, not an inherent risk.
- Are you reselling us licences?
- We can supply through Microsoft's partner programme or leave you buying direct — and we will tell you which is cheaper for your situation. A licensing review that only ever recommends buying more through the reviewer is not a review.
- How often should this be looked at?
- Annually, and at renewal. Headcount changes, people leave, and Microsoft restructures its tiers more often than most businesses notice — three-year-old licensing decisions are rarely still the right ones.
- We are a charity. Does that change anything?
- Considerably. Microsoft grants and discounts for registered charities are substantial and routinely unclaimed, and eligibility is worth checking before any other change is made.
- Do you work with businesses across Leicestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Leicester businesses do you usually work with?
- The most common briefs here are ecommerce for the city's textile and food manufacturers, booking systems for its large independent hospitality scene, and stock and logistics integration for distributors along the M1 corridor. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Textiles & Fashion, Logistics, Food & Drink, Retail and Higher Education.
- Do you cover the areas around Leicester?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Loughborough, Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Northampton. Leicester is an urban area of roughly 560,000+, and we take on work across the wider Leicestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
