Chronom connects read-only in 15 minutes and comes back inside 48 hours with a seat-by-seat, SKU-by-SKU picture of what your tenant actually needs. You walk into the renewal with a baseline you can defend line by line - not last year's peak headcount.
The quote lands with an uplift on it and a date by which procurement needs your recommendation. Your last real licence review was a spreadsheet somebody built eighteen months ago.
You provisioned 80 seats for a programme that wrapped in March. The people are gone. The seats are still in the count - and peak count is what the true-up reconciles.
You're fairly sure a few hundred seats are over-tiered. What you can't do is prove which ones, on which people, in time for it to change the number you sign.
Discovery is the part everyone dreads and the part we made trivial. There is no agent to deploy, no data collection project, and nothing for your team to prepare.
Consent through the Microsoft Graph API, read-only. No agents, no scripts, no changes to your tenant. Your team is done after this step.
Every user, group, SKU, add-on and mailbox is evaluated against 12 months of feature-level usage. You get contracted vs. needed, per SKU, with the gap priced.
A board-ready pack: what to renew, what to downgrade, what to drop, and the three-year cost of each. Optional managed execution means the changes actually land before the anniversary.
At renewal you don't have time to interpret findings. So Chronom doesn't produce findings - it produces the change, the affected people, the evidence behind it and the money, with nothing left open.
No Purview, eDiscovery, Entra P2 or Power BI activity in 12 months. Desktop Office apps, Teams and calling all stay exactly as they are.
Office desktop apps never activated on these accounts - browser and mobile sessions only. No calling minutes used in the last year.
Zero recorded interactions in 90 days. Released now, these seats never enter the renewal count.
The capability is already inside E5. Same reports, same workspaces - the add-on was billing it a second time.
Every line in a Chronom report is a decision with an owner, a SKU and a dollar figure. Nothing is left for you to go and find out.
“Low Teams usage detected” - a fact you now have to interpret
An alert queue that grows faster than you can triage it
A dashboard that hands the analysis back to you
Renewal is exactly the moment to make this call deliberately, because it's the one you're stuck with. Chronom runs in one of two modes, and you choose which.
Pull the number as low as the usage evidence allows. Chronom ranks every opportunity by dollar value and shows you the full ceiling before anything is decided.
Every downgrade the usage data supports is put on the table
Add-ons and overlapping SKUs are consolidated to the cheapest entitlement that still covers real usage
Premium tiers are recommended only for the people whose telemetry actually justifies them
Keep every security and compliance control exactly where it is, and optimize within those boundaries. Savings are smaller - and nobody has to defend a weakened posture.
Your security baseline is a hard boundary: Defender, Entra P1/P2, Purview, DLP and retention stay where policy requires
Compliance-scoped users, admins and privileged accounts are excluded from downgrade entirely
Savings come only from seats and add-ons that sit outside the guardrails
A clean renewal that drifts for twelve months is just a smaller version of the same problem. Chronom keeps scanning after the signature.
Peak seat count is what gets reconciled, so peaks are what we watch. New assignments, contractor spikes and project provisioning are flagged as they happen - while you can still release them.
Before anyone buys more seats, storage or add-ons, you can see whether the capacity already exists somewhere in the estate. Most of the time it does.
Anomaly detection compares today's tenant against your approved baseline and flags what changed - inside a day, not in the month-end report.
By the time the following anniversary comes round, the evidence pack is already current. There's no scramble, because there's no catching up to do.
