What Is Improving CSP?
Improving CSP is more than a licensing program—it’s a services-focused partnership designed to help you maximize the value of Microsoft cloud technologies. We combine strategic licensing guidance, proactive reviews, and direct access to cloud architects so you’re never alone in navigating SKUs, entitlements, and security settings.
Licensing Strategy – Right-size your cloud subscriptions so they match how your people actually work.
Subscription Management – Simplify day-to-day changes while keeping usage, access, and spend under control.
Security & Governance – Align licenses and configuration with cloud security and compliance best practices.
CSP Services That Work Like a Partnership
Our CSP Services are organized around three core pillars so you get more than a reseller—you get a cloud partner. From selecting the right mix of cloud licenses to managing subscriptions and tightening security, each pillar is designed to help you reduce waste, stay compliant, and get more value from your overall cloud investment.

How We Work With CSP Customers
Our CSP engagement is designed to be simple and transparent. You get clear billing, a named point of contact, and regular touchpoints to review usage, costs, and security settings.
1. Assess & Align
We start by taking inventory of your current cloud licenses and subscriptions, how they’re used, and what your teams actually need. From there, we align licensing with your business goals, security requirements, and budget.
Review existing tenants, subscriptions, and spend
Map licenses to roles and usage patterns
Identify quick wins and consolidation opportunities
2. Design & Migrate
Once we understand your environment, we design a CSP model that fits—then handle the transition with minimal disruption. You keep the same tools and data, but gain a clearer, more manageable licensing structure under Improving CSP.
Move subscriptions under Improving CSP
Right-size entitlements by user and workload
Validate access, billing, and governance settings
3. Manage & Support
After go-live, we take care of day-to-day licensing operations so your team doesn’t have to live in the admin portals. You get a named contact for questions, plus help with adds, moves, changes, and troubleshooting.
Handle user adds, removals, and changes
Answer licensing and entitlement questions
Help resolve subscription or access issues
4. Review & Optimize
On a regular cadence, we review usage, costs, and security posture with you and recommend adjustments. This keeps your cloud environment aligned to how your organization actually operates—not how it looked a year ago.
Periodic cost and usage reviews
Recommendations to reduce waste and gaps
Updates based on new SKUs and features
5. Evolve & Extend
As your organization changes, we revisit your CSP model to support new projects, regions, platforms, and security requirements. We also help you take advantage of new cloud capabilities—not just new subscription options.
Adjust licensing for new teams and locations
Support new workloads across your cloud platforms
Connect CSP with broader cloud, security, and data initiatives
