PLATFORM · MICROSOFT

E5. Copilot. Dynamics. Power Platform.
Every seat compounds.

Separately reasonable, together a per-seat tax that grows with every hire. You do not have to open by cancelling any of it — start with one capability that bills on nothing.

  • You own the code from commit one
  • No per-seat licence

Why this domain exists

You are not buying software.
You are renting permission to hire.

Not the products — their commercial shape: almost every line bills per user, so cost tracks headcount, not value delivered.

Microsoft is the most pervasive enterprise relationship and the easiest one to under-estimate. Dynamics 365 for ERP and CRM, Power Platform for citizen development, Microsoft 365 plus Copilot for productivity, Azure for cloud, Azure DevOps and GitHub Enterprise for engineering — each licensed per user, per environment, per add-on.

Priced per seat

E5, Copilot, Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform lines are licensed per user. Growing the business grows the bill, whether or not anyone uses more software.

Stacked as add-ons

Copilot for Sales, Copilot for Service, Advanced Security, premium connectors. Each is small on its own; together they are a procurement category with its own budget owner.

Bound to the platform

Apps built in Power Platform and data held in Dataverse are portable in principle and expensive in practice. That asymmetry is leverage, and it is not on your side of the table.

Seat stackMicrosoft's published licensing model. The stack is theirs, not ours.
Per userThen again per add-on sold onto that same user.
  1. A user is hired — the base licence
  2. Copilot for Sales, Copilot for Service — priced onto that user
  3. Advanced Security and premium connectors — onto the same user again
STAGE 01Ignite

Start with a capability that bills on nothing.

New agents beside the estate you already run, on infrastructure you already pay for. No seat count, no add-on tier, and nothing in the Microsoft contract changes on day one.

Sourcing event agents

RFQ drafting, response scoring and supplier comms handled by agents running on your own sourcing playbook, writing back only when a buyer approves.

Runs beside Dynamics 365 Procurement and Sourcing

Three-way match automation

PO, goods receipt and invoice reconciled the moment they land rather than at month-end, with exceptions routed to the right person in seconds.

Runs beside Dynamics 365 Finance

Customer 360

Account, contact and interaction history assembled from the systems you already run, without a per-record charge for reading your own data.

Reads Dynamics 365 and the systems around it

Audit-trail ledger

Every workflow change, every model call, every approval logged on infrastructure you operate. Evidence gathering becomes continuous instead of quarterly.

Runs beside Microsoft Purview

STAGE 02Reforge

The estate you already own, rebuilt AI-native.

The Power Platform apps your business built, the pipelines your engineers run, the reporting your analysts maintain. Same logic, modern substrate, and it stops billing per flow and per seat.

Power Platform app rebuild

The citizen-developed apps, flows and bots your business already depends on, rebuilt as software your platform team operates rather than as per-flow line items.

Power Apps · Power Automate · Power Virtual Agents

Engineering platform rebuild

Repos, pipelines, work-item tracking and security scanning rebuilt on tooling your engineers own and can extend.

Azure DevOps · GitHub Enterprise · Advanced Security

Productivity agent rebuild

A productivity-AI surface built against your data, your prompts and your eval suite, so the quality bar is one your team sets and can re-run.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Warehouse execution rebuild

Inbound, outbound and stock movements rebuilt against your floor layout and your devices rather than against a licensing unit.

Dynamics 365 Warehouse Management

Coverage

Seven functions. The same pattern in each.

Wherever the seat count is highest is where the licence bites hardest. These are the areas we rebuild, and what sits inside each.

Finance
  • GL, AP, AR and period close as agentic pipelines
  • Continuous close — reconciliation and journal review as they happen
  • Treasury — cash position, FX exposure, intercompany
Supply chain
  • Demand sense, inventory and replenishment on your data
  • Warehouse execution against your floor layout and devices
  • Fleet, asset and inventory telemetry on your own IoT layer
Procurement
  • Sourcing, contracts and vendor management on one surface you control
  • Sourcing event agents — RFQ drafting, response scoring
  • Three-way match the moment documents land
Human resources
  • Core HR, talent, performance and learning as agents your team operates
  • Compensation modelling on your own benchmarks and budget
  • Learning and certification tracking as data your L&D team edits
Sales & service
  • Pipeline, opportunity and forecast without a premium seat tier
  • Case routing, knowledge management and omnichannel service
  • Customer 360 assembled from your systems rather than bound to Dataverse
Marketing & commerce
  • Journey orchestration, segmentation and content on your data
  • Campaign agents reading your customer data, writing back on approval
  • Loyalty tier and redemption rules as data your team edits
IT & developers
  • Low-code surface your platform team owns and can extend
  • Repos, pipelines and scanning on tooling your engineers operate
  • Audit-trail platform — continuous evidence, not quarterly gathering
STAGE 03Liberate

The seats come out. The workflows stay — as software you own.

Liberation is earned, not sold. By the time we replace a core module, you have watched us build. Then hiring stops being a licensing event.

The licence ledger

Illustrative

The commercial shape of a Microsoft estate, as a buyer reads it

Basis of charge
Per user, per environment, per add-on. Headcount is the meter, not usage.
Discount condition
Conditional on term length and on committing across licence, cloud and support together.
Add-on structure
Each assistant, each premium connector and each security tier prices separately on top of the base seat.
On exit
Apps, flows and the data model sit inside the vendor's platform — not in an asset you hold.
Cost of staying————

Shape only — the direction of travel, not a quantity. Your own curve comes from your own renewal schedule and your own headcount plan.

Illustrative. This is our reading of a commercial pattern, not a quotation from any Microsoft agreement — no contract text, no clause references, no figures.

Dynamics 365 F&O replacement

ERP, finance and operations rebuilt as agentic pipelines on your data, retired into only once the replacement is carrying the work.

Dynamics 365 Finance · Supply Chain Management · Project Operations

Dynamics 365 CE replacement

Sales, customer service and field service rebuilt without a premium seat tier standing between your team and the workflow.

Dynamics 365 Sales · Customer Service · Field Service

Customer Insights replacement

Journeys, segmentation and the customer data model rebuilt on your own store, so reaching your customers is not priced per contact.

Dynamics 365 Customer Insights

Dynamics 365 HR replacement

Core HR, talent, performance and learning rebuilt as agents your own engineers operate against your own policy.

How it is built

Glass-walled from brief to transfer. Nothing behind a black box.

SAIF is our delivery method and it runs in the open. You watch the build as it happens, read the evals that gate every release, and keep every artefact — including the ones that record what did not work.

  1. 01

    Brief

    One workflow, scoped against your own data and your own renewal position.

  2. 02

    Build

    Agentic delivery against your systems, visible while it runs.

  3. 03

    Evals

    Every release gated on tests you can read and re-run yourself.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Into infrastructure you control, alongside the system it stands beside.

  5. 05

    Transfer

    Your team runs it. We do not leave until they can.

You own it from commit one

Source, models, prompts, evals and pipeline. Not a licence to use what we built — the asset itself.

Two weeks to a working build

A working build against your own systems in two weeks. Fixed scope, fixed bill.

It runs beside the Microsoft module first

Nothing is retired on faith. The Microsoft module goes when the replacement is carrying the work.

Proof

Not a claim. A delivered platform.

Our commitment

Every engagement starts with a scoped working build against your own systems. If it doesn't convince you, you pay nothing — and you keep the code either way.

The ask

Bring one workload and your seat count.

Ten working days. Which capability to build first, what the per-seat line costs as you hire, and what the replacement costs to build. You keep the analysis.

Fixed feeTen working daysNo commitment beyond the diagnostic
