For enterprises on the Microsoft platform
Your Microsoft estate,
one clear picture.
Lusida connects to Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics and Power Platform, and turns spend, licensing, activity and governance into a single executive view, updated multiple times a day and reconciled against your invoices.
In production across Australasia
What Lusida watches
Questions every Microsoft estate has to answer.
Lusida imports from more than 140 sources across Microsoft’s admin centres, billing APIs, audit logs and Graph, then keeps the history, so you can prove what changed and when.
Licensing
Are we paying for seats nobody uses?
Every M365, Dynamics 365 and Power Platform licence: who holds it, when they last used it, and what it costs. Dormant seats, duplicate entitlements and overlapping SKUs surface before the renewal conversation, not after it.
Azure
Where is the money quietly leaking?
Daily consumption per subscription and resource, financial-year forecasts, and the commitments nobody is watching: reservations expiring unrenewed, reservations stranded against resources that no longer exist, savings plans you should have bought.
Billing
Do our numbers match the invoice?
Every line of your invoice reconciled against observed consumption, whether you buy through a CSP partner or direct from Microsoft. The numbers you take to the board are the numbers on the bill.
Adoption
Who is using what we bought?
Where M365, Dynamics and Power Platform tools are landing across the business and where they sit idle, per user and per environment, tracked over time so investment decisions rest on evidence rather than one aggregate number.
Governance
Who can do what, and when did that change?
Role assignments, privileged-role tiers, permission changes, DLP policy gaps and configuration drift across the estate, tracked over time and raised as alerts when something moves.
Copilot & AI Coming soon
What is Copilot costing us?
M365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot in the same view as everything else you buy from Microsoft: seats bought, seats idle, metered spend and credit burn, tracked as it accrues rather than discovered on the invoice.
Meet Lucy
Ask your estate a question. Get a straight answer.
Lucy is Lusida's analyst. Ask in plain English, and she answers from your own live estate data: the real figures, looked up at the moment you ask. No report-building, no waiting on the platform team.
- Why did Azure spend jump last month?
- Which E5 seats haven't been used this quarter?
- What would right-sizing our licences save?
Lucy can look, never touch. She works read-only and shows the numbers behind every answer.
Getting started
From the Azure Marketplace to full visibility in an afternoon.
Install in 5 minutes
Install from the Azure Marketplace. Choose SaaS, or an Azure Managed Application if you'd rather run it inside your own subscription. A hybrid approach is available.
Connect & import
Grant read-only consent through Microsoft Entra. Lusida starts importing cost, licensing, usage and configuration across Azure, Microsoft 365, Power Platform and Dynamics 365.
Upload invoices
Add your invoices and Lusida reconciles them against observed consumption, so the numbers your executives see match the numbers Microsoft bills.
See the whole estate
Cost, usage and utilisation visualised, including a usage map for every licence, with alerts when spend spikes unusually or seats go quiet.
The economics
Lusida pays for itself.
Not as a figure of speech. Every estate drifts: people change roles, projects wind down, and the licences and commitments stay where they were. Lusida keeps your spend matched to what your organisation actually uses. And you see the savings before you pay anything: the trial is free, and most estates show more recoverable spend in the first week than Lusida costs for the year.
- Identified
What you're paying for and not using.
Every seat, resource and commitment where what you bought runs ahead of what gets used, each one traced back to its source rather than inferred from a total.
- Planned
What you can act on, and when.
A seat only becomes a release candidate when its utilisation history says it's idle. Renewal dates and commitment terms set the moment it can go.
- Realised
What you've actually stopped spending.
Counted month by month and reconciled against your invoices. Not a projection, not an annualised rate dressed up as money in the bank: spend that used to leave your account and now doesn't.
- Prevented
What you get ahead of.
One picture of the whole estate means nothing gets discovered after the fact: a seat going quiet, Azure or Copilot costs climbing, a privileged role appearing overnight, each flagged as it happens. The tidy-up is a one-off. The visibility is ongoing.
So when your own renewal comes around, “did it pay for itself?” has a number for an answer. MTA right-sized 40% of its licensing and storage cost: the month-to-month licences within weeks, the annual commitments at their renewal dates. Voco found a third of its annual licence spend. The payback sits on the page, next to the bill it came off. Read the case studies →

“I've spent two decades as an enterprise architect on the Microsoft platform, providing quality assurance for executives. The pattern never changed: the answers existed, but never in one place. Lusida is the tool I always believed executives needed: full visibility over the estate. And with Lucy, getting an answer is as easy as asking for one.”
