Cost Management through Usage Analysis
Transitioning to a pay-as-you-go model allows organizations to analyze their usage patterns of Microsoft Purview features. By understanding which features are most utilized, organizations can make informed decisions on optimizing their subscriptions and potentially reducing unnecessary costs.
- next-steps: Implement usage tracking for Microsoft Purview features and analyze data to identify low-usage areas. Adjust subscriptions accordingly to align with actual usage and explore alternative solutions if necessary.
