Common questions
Short answers for IT and finance owners evaluating an independent Microsoft licensing audit.
Do you resell Microsoft licenses?
No. Vortex Optimizer is an independent audit platform. We help optimize spend and compliance — we are not a CSP or license reseller.
What savings should we expect?
Typical audits identify 10–40% recoverable spend through right-sizing, inactive user reclamation, and SKU consolidation.
How is data handled?
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We never share your tenant data with Microsoft, resellers, or third-party marketers.
