Internal IT teams in mid-to-large sized businesses can now save costs, remove delays, and ensure correct license allocation by managing Microsoft licenses and Azure consumption in-house, instead of relying on a third-party provider.
Virtuelle Group’s self-service platform changes the game, giving IT departments full visibility over Microsoft licenses and Azure consumption, together with direct control over the quantity, type and allocation of licenses within the organisation. From reallocating unused licenses to managing Azure expenses with precision, this solution empowers businesses to turn licensing management into a strategic advantage.
In this article, we’ll explore how self-service simplifies Microsoft licensing and cost management.
Transform Microsoft license management with a self-service portal
With an online portal, managing Microsoft licenses no longer needs to be a complex or inefficient process. Self-service empowers IT managers and departments to optimise license usage, reduce costs, and gain full control over their licensing needs.
With our user-friendly portal, IT managers can:
- Gain comprehensive visibility over current licenses, renewal dates, unused licenses, and licenses by user.
- Monitor and adjust license consumption monthly for maximum efficiency and cost savings.
- Add or subtract licenses quickly without third-party involvement and delays.
- Identify unused licenses and reallocate them effectively.
- Choose the most feature-rich and cost-effective licenses tailored to workforce needs, including advanced tools like Co-Pilot.
By reducing reliance on intermediaries, IT managers gain full control over their licensing needs, allowing them to act quickly and effectively.
Self-service management of Microsoft licenses isn’t just convenient—it elevates IT operations. Virtuelle Group’s tools help optimise IT infrastructure, reduce costs, and enable improved responsiveness by the IT department to internal client needs.

Take control of your Azure consumption costs
Azure offers mid-sized businesses access to enterprise-grade cloud computing resources without the need for extensive on-premise infrastructure. Its scalability allows businesses to start small and expand usage as needed, making it an ideal choice for growing organisations.
However, managing Azure costs can be challenging without the right tools. Virtuelle’s licensing portal also provides IT managers with visibility over Azure consumption, to provide the clarity and control needed to manage these costs effectively.
With this approach, you can:
- Track Azure consumption with real-time insights into your Azure usage to ensure optimal resource allocation.
- Pinpoint specific workloads or services contributing to higher costs, enabling targeted adjustments to minimise unnecessary spending.
- Accurately forecast Azure expenses to plan and budget effectively, ensuring every dollar spent contributes directly to strategic goals.
- Reduce budget impacts by monitoring consumption regularly to stay within budget, identify inefficient usage patterns, and avoid cost overruns.
- Empower your IT department to manage Azure costs efficiently and drive financial stability.
IT managers can now confidently manage Azure costs while driving financial stability across their organisations. This approach not only keeps expenses in check but also frees up resources to focus on innovation and growth.
