Microsoft License Transfer Success Stories

Calgary Engineering Firm Rescue

A 50-person engineering firm in Calgary discovered their IT provider owned their Microsoft 365 tenant and Azure subscriptions. When they tried to switch providers, they were told it would cost $25,000 in "migration fees" and would lose all their data. Our Microsoft contract rescue team transferred all licences and data within 10 days at no additional cost, saving the firm thousands while maintaining full operational continuity.

Vancouver Law Firm CSP Liberation

A Vancouver legal practice with 25 lawyers found their IT provider was charging 40% markup on Microsoft licences and refusing to transfer the CSP relationship. Our team worked directly with Microsoft to establish a new CSP relationship, reducing their Microsoft 365 costs by $15,000 annually while ensuring full compliance with BC's legal practice technology requirements.
