Product overview
CHAOS is more than reporting: it is a decision platform for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft online services. It combines signals from identities, groups, and usage, compares license-compliant SKU paths, and can automate assignments and removals—with traceable rationale for finance, IT, and auditors.
What CHAOS delivers
At the centre is a closed loop: structured inputs from Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, rule- and model-based need assessment, and a proposed lowest-cost compliant mix of bundles, base SKUs, and add-ons. You decide whether proposals are automated or guarded with approvals—and every step stays explainable.
- One consistent view across accounts, groups, assignments, and relevant usage cues
- Multiple compliant SKU routes compared—with documented exclusions (Why layer)
- Exports and reports for billing cycles, internal control, and Microsoft-relevant evidence
Who it is for
The narrative speaks to internal IT and licensing teams as well as finance controllers who weigh cost versus risk—to MSP and CSP/NCE partners who need the same playbook across many tenants, and to audit-minded roles that need depth beyond isolated spreadsheets.
- Single-tenant enterprises and multi-subsidiary groups
- Partner-led delivery with tenant isolation—not copy/paste spreadsheets
- Governance with versioned rules and documented exceptions
What to expect realistically
We communicate typical bandwidths (often 10–50% depending on posture) without pretending every tenant behaves the same. CHAOS provides methodological depth and transparency to anchor those conversations in data—not generic promises divorced from governance reality.
- Calculator and playbook scenarios for orientation—binding figures come from your tenant data
- Focus on the lowest-cost compliant SKU path for each defined requirement profile
- Explainability for stakeholders with different vocabularies (IT, Finance, Compliance)
CHAOS — from overview to defensible SKU decisions.
From the field
Scenario
A tenant wants one coherent view of licenses, groups, and usage before turning on automation. The SKU mix is heterogeneous (E3/E5, add-ons, frontline), and governance rules live in scattered documents.
Why (evidence layer)
This overview shows why CHAOS is more than reporting: multiple compliant paths are compared, and the chosen path stays auditable. The figures below match the finance view from comparable mid-market programmes—we apply the same logic to your inventory in the demo.
Before/after in EUR per month (run-rate). Annual savings = difference × 12. Figures reflect typical mid-market profiles consolidated from completed optimisation programmes (anonymised, rounded); your organisation will differ by inventory and governance.
