SHIELD Discover: Optimize your Microsoft 365 ecosystem:
Understand your Microsoft licensing environment with key insights
Do you truly know the state of your Microsoft 365 ecosystem? For many organizations, the answer is “no.” That lack of visibility can lead to overspending, underutilization, and unnecessary risk.
Microsoft 365 is a powerful platform, but its complexity makes optimization challenging. Between licensing tiers, feature sets, and evolving security requirements, it’s easy to lose track of what you own, what you use, and what you actually need. Without clarity, organizations often pay for unused features, miss compliance obligations, and struggle to align technology investments with business goals.
What is SHIELD Discover?
That’s where SHIELD Discover comes in. We give you complete transparency into your Microsoft 365 environment, helping uncover hidden value and reduce costs while strengthening security.
Here’s how SHIELD Discover helps:
- Feature-level transparency: Get a true tenant-level view of service configurations per user and per technology, along with your licensing liability.
- Historical licensing insights: Access up to five years of licensing data for compliance and optimization.
- Value-based forecasting: Calculate the real value of your Microsoft investment and identify underutilized components.
- Security-ready foundation: Lay the groundwork for architecture-as-a-service security with feature-level analysis and orchestration.
Whether you’re approaching renewal or simply want to understand your current state, SHIELD Discover answers critical questions, such as: What risks exist in your licensing estate? Are you leveraging everything you own? Are you prepared for the financial impact of your next renewal?
And we’re just getting started. Upcoming enhancements include full Microsoft stack coverage — Defender, Entra, Purview — as well as expansions to other vendors like Cisco, VMware, and ServiceNow. Plus, license simulation and self-service forecasting will make executive reporting easier than ever.
Don’t let complexity drain your resources. With SHIELD Discover, you gain the insights needed to optimize costs, improve compliance, and maximize ROI across your Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
