As the weather starts to warm up, we realized now is a great time to offer five “spring cleaning” tips for tuning-up your cloud technology environment. Here are practical and meaningful tips that will pay dividends to you and your organization.
Tip 1: Audit and Reconcile Cloud Licenses
Most cloud offerings bill on a monthly or annual licensing subscription model. And with the daily demands assigned to the IT team, ad-hoc changes can add up in a very short period of time. It is a great practice to audit the licenses purchased and reconcile how they are allocated across your team. You may find that Suzy in accounting, who couldn’t live without a Power BI subscription last year, hasn’t used the product in over 8 months. Also, review the upgrades and changes to the cloud licensing models. You may find there are better packages out there that you should leverage and migrate to. Quick hint: Document the annual cost savings you identify and remediate each licensing audit session and be sure to include that bottom line dollar amount in your upcoming employee review!
