The Microsoft Licensing Plot Twist You Didn’t See Coming

When the IT powerhouse that runs names like Fabletics, JustFab, and Savage X Fenty¹ opened its renewal quote, the number was jaw-dropping: a 27 percent year-over-year spike—with zero insight into actual needs. Cue alarm bells and a fast rethink.

Enter EchoStor.

Instead of rubber-stamping the quote, our team dug deep into usage data, rightsized plans, and mapped licensing to real-world demand. The result? A 40 percent swing in TechStyleOS’s favor—all while upgrading them to a more flexible Cloud Solution Provider model². Oh, and the transition happened without any fire drills. 

But the real story isn’t just about dollars saved. It’s about freeing IT leadership to focus on innovation, not invoices; about standing up stronger security controls without slowing business velocity; and about having a partner who does more than slide a contract across the table.
Curious how we did it—and how much hidden waste might be lurking in your own agreement?

Grab the full case study to see what’s possible. We promise: it’s a quicker read than your last licensing renewal doc.
