After another grueling Dynamics 365 rollout, our team looked around the customer’s war room. The project was technically “done,” yet everyone was exhausted, the budget was blown, and there was zero appetite for another assessment. Licenses were still wrong, costs remained inflated, and nobody could explain what each user truly needed. That recurring pain is what sparked CloudERP.
Founder story – the road to here
The uncomfortable truth
We kept hearing the same lines: “If we had known earlier, we could have saved so much money.” Microsoft’s own reports were incomplete. Partners only saw fragments of usage. Even Microsoft couldn’t confidently map every user to the right SKU. Customers were left guessing while invoices kept growing.
The idea
Licensing shouldn’t require a 40-hour security analysis, a 10,000 EUR assessment, or a calendar full of workshops. It should answer one question: Is there a business case for change or not? If yes, show it. If not, leave it. That became our design principle.
Building the solution
We created CloudERP License Trimmer to automate the entire process:
- Capture real behavior across every environment
- Compare it with Microsoft’s licensing rules and enforcement changes
- Apply the customer’s actual prices and rebates
- Refresh it every single day
- Present the findings in plain language so finance, IT, and procurement can act together
Why “every day” matters
Licensing is never static. People change roles, seasonal workers come and go, departments expand, and Microsoft launches new features. Without constant visibility, license mixes drift silently. A daily Tradeview became the heartbeat of the product finally, a dashboard where a downward trend is a win.
Where we are today
CloudERP License Trimmer is now the friendly, intelligent layer that bridges the gap between Microsoft, partners, and customers. We don’t replace anyone; we provide the reliable, always-updated, financially accurate view that no one else could deliver. Customers describe it as “a game changer” because adjustments take minutes, not hours, and the business case is transparent.
