MICROSOFT LICENSING & MANAGEMENT
Microsoft Licensing That Fits the Way Your Business Actually Works.
Kosh helps growing organizations manage Microsoft 365 licensing around their people, security requirements, compliance needs, and day-to-day operations.

WHEN LICENSING STOPS BEING SIMPLE
Built for Organizations Where Microsoft Has Become Business-Critical.
Microsoft licensing is easy to overlook until growth, security, or compliance makes it an operational issue. Kosh helps organizations make licensing decisions that match how their people actually work and what the business needs to protect.
30+ Employees
As your team grows, Microsoft licensing becomes harder to manage casually. Different roles, devices and responsibilities create different requirements.
Security or Compliance Requirements
Microsoft licensing decisions can affect the identity, device-management, security and compliance capabilities available to your organization.
Microsoft Costs Keep Growing
Licenses are easy to add and easy to forget. Kosh helps review whether what you're paying for still fits the organization you have today.
Multiple Locations or Distributed Staff
Licensing, identities, devices and security need to remain consistent even when employees work across several offices or remotely.
A Growing or Changing Workforce
New hires, departures and changing job roles can leave an organization with the wrong licenses assigned to the wrong people.
Internal IT Needs Microsoft Support
Your IT team may know your business well but still need additional Microsoft licensing, security or administration expertise.
Microsoft Licensing Gets More Complicated as Your Organization Grows.
More employees, more job roles, more locations, new security requirements, and constant staff changes can turn licensing into an ongoing management problem. The goal isn't to buy the most expensive plan. It's to keep the right capabilities with the right people.
WHAT WE MANAGE
Microsoft License Management Is More Than Buying Licenses.
Kosh helps you review, purchase, assign, and maintain Microsoft licensing as your organization changes, with security, compliance, and day-to-day administration considered together.
Licensing Review & Right-Sizing
Review how licenses are assigned and whether they still match the people and roles in your organization.
License Procurement & Renewals
Help determine what your organization actually needs and manage licensing as your environment changes.
Employee Lifecycle Management
Adjust Microsoft access and licensing as employees join, leave or change responsibilities.
Security Alignment
Consider licensing alongside identity, devices, access controls and the Microsoft security capabilities your organization intends to use.
Account for regulated environments and requirements that may affect Microsoft architecture and licensing decisions.
Ongoing Microsoft Administration
Treat licensing as part of the broader Microsoft environment rather than as a separate invoice that gets reviewed once a year.
One Organization. Different Roles. Different Microsoft Needs.
The point isn't that every employee needs a different license. It's that licensing should follow how people actually work rather than assuming every user has identical needs.
Office & Knowledge Workers
Email, collaboration, document access, meetings and everyday productivity.
Field, Operations & Shared-Device Users
Employees who may not work from a traditional desktop environment all day.
Leadership & Management
Different data access, collaboration, mobility and potentially security requirements.
Security, IT & Compliance Roles
People who may require additional administrative, security, compliance or investigation capabilities.
CHOOSING A MICROSOFT 365 PLAN
Microsoft's plan names only tell part of the story. The right choice depends on employee roles, company size, security needs, compliance requirements, and how your organization uses Microsoft day to day.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
A common starting point for growing organizations that need productivity plus meaningful identity, device-management, and security capabilities.
Microsoft 365 E3
Worth considering when organizational scale, enterprise management, compliance, or other requirements go beyond the Business plans.
Microsoft 365 E5
Relevant when advanced security, compliance, identity, or other enterprise capabilities justify the additional licensing.
Mixed Licensing
Sometimes the right answer isn't moving everyone to a more expensive plan. Different groups of employees may have different requirements.

Even during these difficult times, Kosh makes us feel like a priority.
The pandemic came down on us forcing our technology needs to dramatically shift. Kosh had the expertise to move 50+ employees to work from their homes so we could still provide vital services to our customers.
Tabatha

Kosh responds quickly to our technical issues.
We have a monthly contract with Kosh which enables me to work worry free. I know when a problem arises Kosh will handle it! It’s so nice to submit a ticket and know that our issue will be resolved in a timely manner. I don’t know how companies survive without an IT company! We are very fortunate to have Kosh as part of our team.
Microsoft Licensing Connects to More Than Productivity Apps
The license you choose affects which identity, security, compliance, and AI capabilities are available. Kosh looks at licensing as part of the broader Microsoft environment, not as a standalone purchase.
The right license can make security capabilities available. Someone still has to configure and manage them.
CMMC, regulated data and other requirements can change what Microsoft environment and capabilities make sense.
Before adding AI licensing, organizations should understand permissions, data access, governance, security and the business cases where Copilot will actually be used.
