June was a standout month for us at The SAM Club – and we’re proud to share why!
✅ We secured a new contract as the sole SAM provider for an existing client, taking over management of their Snow Atlas environment from one of the major resellers.
✅ We onboarded our first client onto Licenceware, helping them take control of their software asset management.
✅ We’ve been deep in conversations with multiple clients on the new M365 E7 licence — and the results speak for themselves:
• One client saved £70k per annum by stepping up from M365 E5 to E7 with our guidance.
• Another client saw their initial E7 quote reduced by £37.40 per user per annum after we reviewed it.
• We worked directly with Microsoft to clarify contractual terms with the E7 promotions that were inconsistent between two different resellers.
✅ We’ve developed a suite of reports drawn directly from the Microsoft Admin portal — giving our clients clear, actionable optimisation opportunities and real cost savings across their Microsoft licensing using PowerShell.
✅ Where possible, we worked with clients to future-proof their Microsoft licences ahead of the July 1st price increase — locking in favourable pricing for up to three years.
✅ And we’ve been busy building out our knowledge base — publishing a series of articles available to all our clients, covering:
- Copilot Cowork
• Microsoft Security (Sentinel, Azure Data Lake Storage & Defender for Servers)
• Entra ID P2 — one person, one licence
• The latest on Broadcom VMware renewals
• M365 E5 to E7 — compliance considerations
• Veeam Flex Bundles
• Microsoft Fabric & the Modern Data Warehouse
These articles don’t come from a content calendar — they come from real questions and discussions with our clients. When something comes up that one client needs to understand, we document it so all our clients benefit.
This is exactly why independent software advisory matters. We’re not tied to any reseller. We see what’s being quoted across our client base and we act on it.
At The SAM Club, our goal is simple: save our clients more than our service charge. We have a strong track record of doing exactly that.
