## Summary

Your IT company should remove Microsoft 365 licenses when staff leave. If last year's departures still cost you money each month, that provider is not handling the work.

## What Bellwether says it owns

- Bellwether reviews Microsoft 365 assignments against current staff every month and removes licenses for anyone who has left.
