Why Microsoft Negotiations Are a Different Game

01

They Anchor Early and High

Microsoft’s licensing motions are designed to scale—whether or not your needs do. Once you commit, default increases kick in.

02

Tiering Isn’t Always Logical

Standard Microsoft tiers often assume usage growth and bundle in extras you don’t need. If you don’t push back, you pay for bloat.

03

The Enterprise Agreement
Is a Trap

From volume commitment clauses to lock-in provisions, Microsoft’s standard EA terms assume compliance—not customization.

04

You Don’t See What Others Pay

Microsoft uses their own internal benchmarks to size your deal. If you don’t have your own data, you’re playing blind.

We Don’t Just Push Back. We Reframe the Entire Deal.

TNG gives you the pricing intel, product clarity, and negotiation strategy to counter Microsoft’s scale—and win without disruption.

License & Usage Alignment

We assess your actual use of Microsoft products and tiers—then rationalize licenses, rightsize spend, and eliminate features you don’t need.

Forecast Rebuttal & Consumption Strategy

We unpack Azure consumption models, challenge inflated projections, and help reset commitments based on your real trajectory—not their baked-in assumptions.

Restructure Agreements on Your Terms

Whether it's introducing flexibility into your EA, navigating CSP vs. EA trade-offs, or optimizing M365 tiers—we help you reset the deal structure for control and savings.

Right Price Benchmarking™

Know what your deal should cost — by SKU, based on your industry, annual contract value, company size, license product mix, and other variables —before they set the anchor.

Success Stories

TNG is built for the people closest to enterprise software negotiations with budgets and reputations on the line.

Fortune 100 Retailer – SaaS Contract Optimization

The vendor’s original SaaS contract risked a $14M overcommitment due to fixed escalators, high support fees, and vague termination terms—TNG reduced risk by renegotiating renewal terms, capping escalators, adding thresholds, penalties, and exit clauses.
