Microsoft cost, usage and governance information rarely sits in one place. It is spread across admin centres, Azure subscriptions, billing records, invoices and operational teams. That makes it difficult to understand where money is going, what is delivering value and where waste is accumulating.
Lusida brings that information together. It connects Microsoft licensing, usage, cloud consumption, billing, activity and governance data in a single, continually refreshed view. By reconciling what your organisation is paying for with what people and services actually use, Lusida helps identify practical opportunities to reduce waste, improve visibility and make better Microsoft investment decisions.
We help you turn that visibility into action. Voco works alongside your technology, finance and business teams to validate the findings, understand the operational context, and prioritise opportunities by value, effort, risk and business impact. The technology identifies the signals. We help determine what they mean and what should happen next.
Our role
Connect the Microsoft estate
We help establish the Lusida platform using agreed read-only access, bringing together relevant Microsoft licensing, usage, cost and configuration information.
Create one clear view
Lusida consolidates information across Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, including licence allocation, utilisation, cloud consumption, invoices and relevant governance signals.
Find where value is being lost
We review opportunities such as unallocated or dormant licences, overlapping subscriptions, underused premium capabilities, changing Azure costs, Power Platform capacity growth and differences between invoiced charges and actual usage.
Validate before acting
A potential saving is not automatically the right action. We work with business and technology owners to understand dependencies, user requirements, contractual timing and operational risk before recommendations are approved.
Prioritise the opportunities
We distinguish quick wins from changes requiring further investigation, business-owner input or longer-term planning. Opportunities can be ranked by value, effort, risk and business impact.
Support implementation
Your team can make the approved changes, or Voco can support implementation, depending on the level of assistance you need.
Keep the estate optimised
Microsoft environments keep changing. Ongoing reporting helps track actions, realised outcomes and new opportunities as licensing, usage and cloud consumption evolve.
When to call Voco
- When you want to find immediate savings in your Microsoft spend
- Microsoft cost, licensing and usage information is spread across different portals, invoices and teams
- When you cannot clearly see what is purchased, assigned, actively used or sitting idle
- When Azure spending is changing without clear ownership, forecasting or resource-level visibility
- When Dynamics 365 or Power Platform licensing and capacity are difficult to understand
- When a one-off clean-up is not enough and you need ongoing visibility as the estate changes
- When you already have a formal SAM capability but need a clearer, more operational view of Microsoft cost and utilisation
Even organisations with mature SAM capabilities often struggle to maintain visibility into day-to-day Microsoft usage, consumption and cost. Lusida bridges that gap by connecting licensing, usage, billing and governance data into a single operational view.
The Voco difference
- We turn information into decisions
Lusida surfaces the cost, usage and governance signals. We help you interpret them, determine which opportunities are genuine and decide what is worth acting on. - We start with evidence
Recommendations are grounded in actual Microsoft usage, consumption and invoice information rather than assumptions or generic benchmarks. - We protect capability
We validate proposed actions with the appropriate owners before changes are made. - We make complexity clear
We bring technology, finance and operational perspectives together so decision-makers can understand the opportunity, the trade-offs and the path forward. - We work at the level you need
You can use the platform for visibility, involve us to interpret the findings, receive a prioritised optimisation roadmap, or have us support approved changes. - We stay focused on outcomes
The goal is not another dashboard or report. It is clearer Microsoft investment decisions, practical cost-reduction actions and an ongoing way to stop avoidable cost from accumulating again.
