An evidenced plan to recover nearly a third of annual licence costs.

For 25 years, Voco has helped government and enterprise organisations across New Zealand and Australia get more from their technology across strategy, systems and software. As a Microsoft partner with deep Power Platform and Dynamics expertise, Voco keeps a close eye on its own environment. Looking for a tool that could give it clear visibility over licence utilisation and help rightsize its estate, Voco came across Lusida.

In most Microsoft tenants, licences are assigned through a mix of direct assignment and security groups, and over time positions naturally drift as roles change, projects close and pilots wind down. It is a normal part of how Microsoft estates scale, and no native admin tooling surfaces it at SKU level. Seeing it clearly takes a purpose-built lens.

Lusida gave Voco that lens, and more. It brought the full cost of Voco's Microsoft estate into a single view across Azure, Microsoft 365 and the Power Platform, then reconciled what was paid for against what was actually used: licences over-allocated, add-ons sitting idle, and the spend that was fully justified and should stay. Alongside the numbers, it showed how Voco's tools were being adopted across the business, turning a cost review into a clearer view of value.

With the findings in hand, Voco has an evidenced plan to recover nearly a third of its annual licence costs, a potential saving that phases in as commitments reach renewal, with no disruption to the tools its people rely on.

And Voco runs a tight estate. In most Microsoft environments, where licensing gets far less scrutiny, the recoverable spend runs higher than this, not lower. Lusida brings the whole estate into one view and makes the savings recoverable, in days.
