- An independent assessment from a software audit advisory expert without any software publisher bias or oversight
- Deployment of industry leading tool to collect baseline data & performance measurements for the duration of the engagement
- Review of existing Microsoft Licensing Agreements to reduce costs & provide a detailed review of how recent Microsoft licensing use right changes can impact existing and future workloads

Highlights
- Evolve has delivered over 3,000 AWS Optimization & Licensing Assessments funded by AWS.
- Software licensing costs are 2 to 3 times the cost of all the other costs in the cloud combined. On average, Evolve reduces the amount of Windows Server cores that need to be licensed by 78% and SQL cores that need to be licensed by 45% when moving to AWS.
- If a customer is compliant with SQL licensing on premises and moves to EC2 Shared Tenancy, they have a 65% chance of creating a $1.4 million dollar compliance issue. When Evolve delivers an OLA (Optimization and Licensing Assessment), 87% of the time our model is able to comply with SQL licensing without the customer having to purchase any additional licensing.
