Use your existing workspace records to identify possible waste, underused capacity, renewal risk and savings opportunities.

Signals from your existing records
Optimization uses the records supplied to the workspace. Purchased seats, recorded usage, hosting relationships, deadlines and commitments provide possible review signals. This is decision support based on entered information, not independent surveillance of every external service.
Check the source record behind each opportunity.
Seat underuse without false certainty
Purchased capacity exceeding recorded assignments can indicate waste, spare capacity or incomplete data. The centre should show the difference and explain the evidence. Confirm contractual flexibility and actual use before estimating a reduction or cancelling a licence.
Update assignments and confirm whether capacity can change.
A domain without a hosting link
An unlinked domain may be parked, reserved, externally hosted or missing its hosting details. The signal asks the owner to clarify the relationship. It does not establish that a brand-protection domain is unnecessary or that DNS is currently broken.
Add the missing relationship or record the legitimate purpose.
Hosting capacity worth reviewing
An apparently empty hosting plan deserves a check against websites and domains in the workspace. A staging environment or recovery server can be deliberately spare. Confirm the operational dependency and access requirements before discussing retirement.
Verify supported services before changing infrastructure.
Thresholds that explain themselves
A threshold turns a measurable condition into a review signal. Understand the metric, configured boundary, source date and missing information before acting. Crossing a boundary should lead to evidence and a clear next step rather than an unexplained alarm.
Read the signal explanation and verify its inputs.
Savings estimates and decisions
Potential savings describe an opportunity; committed savings describe an agreed change; realised savings describe an outcome that has happened. Keep these stages separate to avoid counting a proposal as recovered money. An accepted recommendation still needs an accountable implementation.
Record the decision and verify the resulting cost change.

What data does Optimization Center use to identify possible waste?
Optimization uses the records supplied to the workspace. Purchased seats, recorded usage, hosting relationships, deadlines and commitments provide possible review signals. This is decision support based on entered information, not independent surveillance of every external service. Check the source record behind each opportunity.
Does an unassigned software seat prove that a licence is unused?
Purchased capacity exceeding recorded assignments can indicate waste, spare capacity or incomplete data. The centre should show the difference and explain the evidence. Confirm contractual flexibility and actual use before estimating a reduction or cancelling a licence. Update assignments and confirm whether capacity can change.
Why does a domain with no hosting relationship need review?
An unlinked domain may be parked, reserved, externally hosted or missing its hosting details. The signal asks the owner to clarify the relationship. It does not establish that a brand-protection domain is unnecessary or that DNS is currently broken. Add the missing relationship or record the legitimate purpose.
Should apparently empty hosting always be cancelled?
An apparently empty hosting plan deserves a check against websites and domains in the workspace. A staging environment or recovery server can be deliberately spare. Confirm the operational dependency and access requirements before discussing retirement. Verify supported services before changing infrastructure.
How do optimization thresholds help explain an opportunity?
A threshold turns a measurable condition into a review signal. Understand the metric, configured boundary, source date and missing information before acting. Crossing a boundary should lead to evidence and a clear next step rather than an unexplained alarm. Read the signal explanation and verify its inputs.
