Overspending on Unused Licenses

Complex Licensing Models
Microsoft's numerous licensing options, subscription models, and hybrid scenarios create confusion and suboptimal purchasing decisions.
Compliance Risks
Incorrect licensing can lead to audit findings, penalties, and unplanned expenses during Microsoft software audits.
