The platform · Control Tower

See your Microsoft cloud the way your CFO needs to see it.

Control Tower plugs into your M365, Dynamics 365 and Azure tenants and turns license entitlements and cloud spend into a continuously updated dashboard, with a daily list of seats and resources to drop, downgrade or never renew.

Five tiles at the top.
Months of detail behind each one.

Every Datafitters customer sees these five numbers daily. They're the top of the dashboard: behind each tile sit data-backed recommendations, realised-savings tracking, historical trends, and drill-downs to the individual user or resource. Aggregated here across our entire client base, scoped to your tenant in your own Control Tower.
