Problem
Microsoft partners struggle to manually calculate optimized licensing bundles, incentives, and promotional discounts across complex, overlapping Microsoft 365 plans. With 400+ features, 60+ suites, hidden dependencies, and monthly changes, this analysis is slow, error-prone, and limits a partner's ability to scale client assessments and close deals competitively.
Solution
Softspend provides a licensing intelligence platform that automates the assessment of Microsoft 365 tenants, generating a security and Copilot readiness score, a feature-by-feature license gap map, and a priced, optimized bundle recommendation. The platform reads what a customer already owns and returns the gap, the optimum bundle, and the funding that pays for the work, including Microsoft Commerce Incentives and ECIF claim packs. It standardizes upgrade proposals across a partner's entire book of business, enabling them to quote on value rather than lowest cost and attach services to new feature implementations. Softspend continuously tracks feature adoption and security posture, surfacing renewal and upsell opportunities automatically for every customer.
Target Audience
Primary customers are Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partners, including indirect resellers and managed service providers, who need to scale licensing assessments, upsell security and Copilot readiness, and win new logos.
