Consulting Company Slashes CRM Costs by 52% with License Audit and D365licenses.com Discounts

Challenge: Complex, inefficient D365 setup
Solution: Custom licensing strategy
Result: 40% faster onboarding, improved workflow

Our client had scaled rapidly and adopted Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales across its sales, marketing, and customer support teams. Over time, user roles diversified—but the licensing did not.

Everyone was still on the Sales Enterprise license ($95/user/month), regardless of their actual usage. Leadership suspected overspending but lacked insight into alternatives or how to begin optimizing.

Our Solution

As the startup grew, so did its D365 environment. Over time, they found themselves dealing with:

• Internal License Audit
• Cost Optimization via D365licenses.com

We conducted an audit using admin reports and native analytics tools. The goal was to categorize users based on actual Dynamics 365 usage. Based on the audit, users were matched with more appropriate licenses.

✅ Discount Optimization: Used d365licenses.com to secure licenses 18% below MSRP.
✅ Smart License Mapping: Matched real usage with the right license tiers.
✅ No Productivity Loss: Role-based licensing ensured all features users needed were retained.

Outcome

Within weeks of the new deployment:
By combining an internal license audit with discounted procurement via d365licenses.com, our customer cut their Dynamics 365 Sales licensing cost by more than half—saving nearly $2,200 annually.
