Challenges

Do your Dynamics 365 costs just keep going up?

For many organizations, Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the bedrock of company operations. But too often, businesses don’t have visibility or predictability over real license costs. Without this, it’s simply impossible to run your business effectively. And to get the best out of the agentic AI era, you’ll need a clear understanding of your current costs and the implications on your company as you scale. 

Our licensing costs are just too high.

In today’s economy, businesses need to do more with less. But for many, Dynamics 365 licensing costs are only going in one direction.

Manual processes cause bottlenecks, delays, and budget overruns.

Too many Dynamics 365 organizations rely on manual effort for regression testing, performance monitoring, and license optimization. These processes are time-consuming, unpredictable, and expensive.

Microsoft licensing rules will raise our costs even further.

From 2026, Microsoft will begin enforcing a new license validation process for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. This will mean higher costs for organizations that have historically shared licenses.

Dynamics 365 admins spend too much time assigning licenses and permissions.

To keep your account secure, admins need to ensure user accounts don’t have more privileges than they need. But manually configuring accounts, licenses, and permissions just isn’t a good use of your IT team’s time.

We’re paying too much for licenses that nobody uses.

Most organizations using Dynamics 365 will have licenses that nobody uses and privileges that real users don’t need – creating unnecessary costs. The challenge is knowing which licenses are which.

We don’t have the data to make meaningful cost savings.

In order to reduce bottlenecks and accelerate processes, you need to first understand them. But for many, Dynamics 365 is a black box – with limited visibility over what processes you have, who’s involved, or where the bottlenecks are.
