Licensing shouldn’t slow your business down.
Fortesia sells, migrates and supports the full Microsoft stack Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365 and Copilot. Same licences as buying direct. Lower cost, one bill, and an engineer who answers.

Modern Work
Microsoft 365, Teams Phone, Intune and Copilot deployment.
Azure Infrastructure
Migration, landing zones, backup and disaster recovery.
Business Applications
Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sales and Customer Service.
CSP & GDAP
Direct-bill Cloud Solution Provider with least-privilege admin.
Buy it, run it, and get someone on
the phone when it breaks.
On-premise licences
Windows Server, SQL Server, Exchange, Remote Desktop and CALs. Perpetual keys and Software Assurance with core counts checked before you buy.
Cloud & Microsoft 365
Business Basic through E5, Exchange, Teams Phone, Copilot, SharePoint and Intune, priced below direct Microsoft rates with full deployment.
Azure & cloud spend
Pay-as-you-go, reserved instances and hybrid cloud under Tier 1 CSP with active monthly cost governance so your bill stops surprising you.
Support that answers
A named engineer, a direct phone line, and a 15-minute SLA on P1. Fast cloud migrations, tenant hygiene and zero ticket queues.
Nobody overspends on purpose.
It happens quietly.
Every Fortesia engagement opens with a free licence audit. Four leaks account for most of what we recover.
“We assumed our licensing was as tight as it could get, because we'd bought direct for nine years. Fortesia took £214,000 a year out of it and we didn't lose a single feature.”
Seats nobody uses
Leavers, contractors, shared mailboxes sitting on full E5. In a 600-seat tenant we typically find 40-70 licences assigned to people who left.
→ Reclaimed at the next true-up, not the next renewal
The wrong tier for the job
Warehouse and field staff on E3 when F3 covers everything they actually open. Same compliance posture, a third of the cost per head.
→ Right-sized per role, with the evidence to defend it
Unified Support you barely call
Priced as a percentage of your Microsoft spend, so it grows when you grow — whether or not you raise a single ticket.
→ Replaced with a fixed plan and a named engineer
Azure left running at 3am
Dev environments with no shutdown schedule, orphaned disks, and on-demand pricing where a one-year reservation would do.
→ Tagged, scheduled and reserved in the first 30 days
Four steps. Roughly three weeks.
Read-only audit
You grant a temporary read-only role. We pull every subscription, seat and last-sign-in date.
Savings report
A line-by-line map of what you pay, what's unused, and what the same estate costs under CSP.
Transfer
Subscriptions move to your Fortesia tenant at renewal. No downtime, no data migration, no new logins.
Ongoing review
Quarterly right-sizing, renewal reminders 60 days out, and support from the engineer who did the audit.
Tenants under management
Average licence spend recovered in year one
Client retention across the last three years
Median first response on priority tickets
Fortesia, buying direct, or a big-box CSP.
Direct from Microsoft is the right answer for some organisations. Here's where we're different, including where we're not the cheapest option.
| FORTESIA | DIRECT FROM MICROSOFT | LARGE-VOLUME CSP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quote turnaround | 30 minutes, business hours | Via account team, 3-10 days | 1-3 days |
| Licence audit before you buy | Included, free, read-only | Not offered | Usually paid consulting |
| Who answers a P1 | Named engineer, 15 min | Support queue, tiered | Shared pool, 4-24 hrs |
| Support cost model | Fixed monthly fee | % of your Microsoft spend | Per-ticket or bundled |
| Contract lock-in | Exit at any renewal | Annual commitment | Often 24-36 months |
| Best when | You want the spend cut and someone to own it | You have a large in-house licensing team | You buy at 10,000+ seats and only want price |

The six questions we get on every first call.
If yours isn't here, call +1 (800) 555-0100 and ask a licensing specialist directly.
Identical. Fortesia is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, so the subscriptions sit in your own tenant under Microsoft's terms. The difference is who bills you, what you pay, and who picks up the phone.
Find out what's in your bill before your next renewal.
Read-only access, one working day, a line-by-line sheet at the end of it. If there's nothing to save, we'll tell you that and you'll have a clean licence inventory for free.
