Why Microsoft 365 FinOps is an ongoing job with an owner
Licence spend shifts every month as people join, leave and adopt new tools, and it rarely has one accountable owner.

Savings that quietly drift back

Introduction
Reduce licence waste, improve adoption and maximise the value of every Microsoft 365 licence
Microsoft 365 FinOps is the practice of continuously optimising Microsoft 365 licensing, adoption, governance and spend to maximise business value. Many organisations are paying for underutilised licences, inactive accounts and capabilities that are not fully adopted across the business. Cybit helps organisations analyse Microsoft 365 usage, licensing consumption, adoption trends and security posture across Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID and Copilot. By applying FinOps principles to Microsoft 365, organisations gain greater visibility and control over licensing costs while improving productivity, security and return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ongoing practice of reviewing Microsoft 365 licensing, usage, adoption and spend so costs stay matched to how the business actually works. It treats licences as a managed budget with a named owner rather than a task that comes round at renewal.
