Partner Case Study: TBSC
Partner in England helps customers manage clients’ Microsoft 365 licenses Based in Basingstoke, England, The Business Software Centre (TBSC) specializes in conversion, e-commerce, and ecosystem consultancy for Software as a Service (SaaS). For more than 20 years, TBSC has provided quick, efficient, and cost-effective software asset management. TBSC’s Smarter SaaS for Microsoft 365 app, available on Microsoft AppSource, provides important data for Microsoft 365 licenses. The app monitors active and inactive users, with the option to anonymize user names and data. Data can show usage of Microsoft 365 E3 apps, such as SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and Outlook, and present opportunities to increase it. License optimization can be achieved through reharvesting (taking an inactive subscription and redistributing it to an active user). The app also provides visibility into licensing compliance. These measures help companies fully utilize the licenses they're paying for. “Smarter SaaS for Microsoft 365 is recommended to our partners looking to manage their clients’ Microsoft 365 licenses,” said Phil Hames, Director of TBSC. “Our product is an automated, cloud-based service that ensures an improvement on clients’ Microsoft 365 investment. This allows for an opportunity to not only manage Microsoft 365 licenses but also build loyalty with clients, since partners can showcase how their organization can be optimized with Microsoft 365 usage through accurate and actionable data.” Continue reading here **Explore all case studies or submit your own**Calling all CSP Partners!!!

Effective financial reporting can be as laborious for a company as it is crucial. Traditional methods of manually tracking and reporting on the financial health of a business—involving potentially hundreds of thousands or millions of data points—in order to make strategic decisions on its future can be tedious and inefficient. New Jersey-based Vertigon Consulting recognized this frustration with manual or semi-automated financial reporting and invested in a future where data analytics could be leveraged for reliable, scalable, and repeatable business insights. Their flagship SaaS solution, Cloud BI, benefits Vertigon’s customers by automating the tiresome accumulation of information and making more time for higher-level functions like analysis and decision making. Vertigon selected Microsoft Azure as the IaaS (upon which they built Cloud BI) leveraging Microsoft’s vast capability not only for its best of breed infrastructure offering but also the significant database, tools, and development capability. Vertigon was one of Microsoft’s first customers in the cloud with subscriptions dating back to 2013. Soon after, Vertigon transitioned from SharePoint integrated BI to Microsoft’s Power tools: Power BI, Power Query, and Power Automate, as well as the suite of O365 applications. The success of Cloud BI has led to its implementation in hundreds of companies nationwide.
