of the average tenant's Microsoft 365 spend is quietly wasted.

The waste is rarely a handful of inactive accounts. It's oversized licenses on active people who never touch the premium features, overlapping SKUs stacked on the same user, forgotten add-ons, and Copilot seats sitting idle.

Admin-center reports show you who signed in - not who actually uses what they're paying for. So the real cost hides in plain sight, and most teams only find it at renewal. By then, it's already billed.

Under the hood

How Chronom Turns Graph Signals into Savings

Chronom reads live signals across every M365 service through the Microsoft Graph API - read-only - and maps your entire tenant to show what's paid for versus what's actually used.

Every User Group License SKU Mailbox Site is evaluated.

ROI

Cut spend, fast

Recover up to 30% of your M365 bill inside 90 days - not next fiscal year, and without touching what your teams actually use.

per user

Decisions you can defend

Every recommendation names the user, the SKU and the exact annual cost - so approvals are quick and audits are painless.

Renew from strength

Walk into your EA or CSP renewal knowing precisely what to drop, downgrade or keep - and negotiate on data, not vibes.

Savings that actually land

Optional managed cleanup means Chronom's team executes the changes - findings turn into realized savings, not a backlog.

24/7

Stay lean all year

Continuous anomaly detection catches new drift the moment it appears - so waste never quietly rebuilds between renewals.

read-only

Zero risk to your tenant

Chronom connects through the Graph API in read-only mode. Nothing moves, nothing changes - until you approve it.
