Beyond the Renewal: Maximising Your Microsoft Investment.

Your Microsoft renewal is an opportunity to step back and look at whether your current licensing still aligns with what your organisation needs today and where it’s heading next.

Join Intercity for a practical session exploring the key considerations ahead of renewal and how to make more informed decisions about your Microsoft investment for 2027 and beyond.

Thursday 12 November 2026

Make your next Microsoft renewal count

Reduce unnecessary costs

Identify licences that may be unused, duplicated or no longer suitable for your employees.

Right-size your licensing

Align your licence mix with how your organisation operates today.

Get more from Microsoft

Discover capabilities that may already be included in your licences but are not being fully used.

Identify potential security gaps

Understand how your Microsoft licensing and security requirements should work together.

Prepare for your renewal

Know what information to gather and which questions to ask before renewing.

Review your CSP relationship

Assess whether your current Microsoft provider is delivering the guidance, support and ongoing optimisation you need.

The biggest saving might not come from negotiating the price

A small discount will not necessarily solve inefficient licensing.

Greater savings may come from removing licences you no longer need, selecting the right licence for each employee and using more of the Microsoft capabilities already available to your organisation.

This webinar will help you understand:

What you are currently paying for
Which licences your organisation needs
Whether your current licence mix is still suitable
Which capabilities you may already own
Where licensing or security gaps could exist
What you should review before renewing

Frequently asked questions

What is a Microsoft CSP?

CSP means Cloud Solution Provider. A Microsoft CSP is a provider through which your organisation can purchase Microsoft licences, with support and guidance on managing those services.

Is the webinar only for existing Intercity customers?

No. The webinar is open to existing Intercity customers and organisations new to Intercity, including those buying Microsoft licences through another provider.

Do I need to be approaching a renewal?

No. You do not need an immediate renewal date. The session will help you understand what to review and what information to gather, so you can plan ahead.

Is the webinar free?

Yes. This online webinar is free to attend. Register to reserve your place and receive the recording after the session.

What happens if I cannot attend live?

Will the webinar cover Microsoft licence pricing?

We’ll explore how licence choices and usage affect costs, and what to review before renewal. The session focuses on practical licensing decisions rather than a personalised quotation or guaranteed savings.

Does attending commit me to changing provider?

No. Attending does not commit you to changing provider or buying any services. You can use the session’s guidance to inform your next licensing conversation.
