Licences, Azure and FinOps under control
The same Microsoft licences you buy today – through IUXTA, at consistently competitive prices, from someone who actually tells you what to cut.
One view of licences, Azure consumption and who owns what. No surprises on the invoice.
We don't earn more when you buy more. The recommendation is the same as if we sat on your side of the table – because we do.
Buying through IUXTA should pay off – every year, not just the first. The price is known to you, and we're happy to compare.
Continuous licence optimisation. The goal is the most value for the money, not the most licences. With or without a FinOps framework with showback/chargeback. Unit economics tied to business goals and business owners.
FinOps Foundation certified: Practitioner, Technology Value 2026 and AI Value 2026. We use the framework as intended – as an operating model, not a report.
- Microsoft CSP and volume licensing, and Azure IaaS/PaaS services
- Licence review at start: what you have, what you use, what you can cut
- FinOps model sized to you: budget, ownership, alerts
- Quarterly cost review with finance and IT in the same meeting
- Decision support on contracts, platform and consumption
- Companies with 10–500 users running their own IT
- Companies that have outsourced operations but own the risk and the bill
- CFOs who want to explain cloud and licence cost to the board
- A licence count that matches headcount and actual use, every quarter
- Azure consumption with an owner, budget and alert per service
- One page for the board: cost, trend and the decisions needed
Licences are where control starts – not where it ends
With Coldbyte, management sees daily what actually happens in your Microsoft environment and the services running there. With Arctic Wolf, someone is awake when you're not. And when the board asks "are we in control?", you have an answer that is more than an invoice.
We don't sell licences you don't need, and we don't lock you into contracts you can't leave. We have no platform agenda. Every choice should rest on fitness for purpose and risk appetite: do you need to solve data sovereignty for critical services, go best-of-suite, or cut cost? Sometimes the answer is to upgrade your own datacenter. We know how to get there – but first we help you get the priorities right.
It doesn't start with the licences
We start with what the business needs to achieve – not with the invoice. Then we look together at whether your licences and cloud spend are actually working for it.
Have a coffee with Pål.
Thirty minutes, no slides. You tell us what keeps you up at night; we tell you honestly whether we can help – and who to call if we can't.
Or let Artem look for skeletons.
An hour on screen with whoever runs your environment. No installation, no access – just the questions that tend to surface what's waiting. You get a list; we get an honest conversation about it. If you want to go deeper afterwards, we do it with read access – by agreement.
