Brisbane-headquartered DSS has released an improved Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O) License Optimization Service to lower licensing expenses by as much as 50% while improving enterprise security.
Brisbane Consultancy Expands Security and Licensing Solutions
Brisbane, Australia, 16th Aug 2025 – Dynamics Security Solutions Pty Ltd (DSS), a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations and Dynamics AX expert consultancy, has today unveiled substantial improvements to their proven license cost optimization service with enhanced security auditing functionality. The end-to-end solution aims at the two key pain points besetting large corporations: inordinate Microsoft D365 F&O licensing fees and poor security governance.
Founder’s Insight on Overpaying for Licenses
Having spent the majority of two decades working in corporate finance and systems management ranging from multinational operations to enterprise-level implementations – I’ve seen firsthand how companies continually overpay for software licenses while at the same time opening themselves up to security risks. What began as a crusade to get companies to run more effectively has blossomed into a methodical process that’s yielding stunning results across sectors.
Expensive Blunders Enterprises Commit
“It’s a very simple choice,” comments Paul Belan, co-founder of DSS. “We’re witnessing firms spending tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on licenses they just don’t require, while unwittingly leaving themselves open to some serious security vulnerabilities. The irony is, resolving both issues at the same time is much simpler than most business leaders appreciate.”
The Problem: Hidden Costs and Overlooked Risks
DSS research has shown that as many as 80% of large organizations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations or previous versions of Dynamics AX are overspending on user licenses by 20-50%. The culprit? bloated role assignments, inactive accounts, and a basic lack of understanding of how Microsoft’s licensing model actually functions.
Premium Roles and Security Flaws
“What we always see, and this was a real surprise to me in the early days, is that most organizations give users premium roles as a ‘just in case’ approach,” Belan explains. “A finance manager is given full system access when they actually only need accounts payable functionality. It’s like purchasing a Formula 1 vehicle for the school run.”
Security Risks of Overprovisioning
Added to that waste is the security threat. Too much permission does not only be expensive, it provides possible avenues for fraud, information violation, and compliance lapses.
The DSS Solution: Accuracy Without Trade-Off
DSS created a four-stage service platform that addresses both cost savings and security improvement:
Tailored User License Cost Reduction Service
The foundation product performs a thorough analysis of roles to remove excess high-level licenses. Operating only in non-production environments at first, DSS correlates real user needs with assigned permissions and redesigns role frameworks to represent true business requirements.
Dormant User Account & License Audit
This add-on service finds inactive accounts that still keep charging yearly licensing expenses – usually not addressed under routine reviews. DSS offers suggestions for better management of users going forward.
Role Extension Pack for Flexibility
Custom security roles designed specifically for individual modules or tasks without overprovisioning. These include senior staff management access roles, auditors and consultants view-only roles, and issue resolution workflow administrator roles.
Security Health Check for Enterprises
Comprehensive audit revealing vulnerabilities, control gaps, and deception exposure, along with actionable security improvement roadmaps and recurring monitoring frameworks.
Safe and Secure Implementation Process
What differentiates DSS is their distinctive assurance model. “We don’t get paid unless we deliver measurable savings,” Belan says. “And we never touch production data concerning master or transactional data. Updates are finished without impacting any business processes. It’s all about demonstrating value before seeking investment.” The DSS approach guarantees:
- All changes tested in sandbox environments first
- Full backup and restoration capabilities
- No system downtime during implementation
- Complete client control throughout the process

Early adopters report:

Testimonials from Finance and IT Leaders
“The implications are obvious,” Belan adds. “From retail chains to not-for-profit agencies, we’re always providing significant savings while at the same time enhancing security infrastructure. It’s the sort of result that makes finance directors happy and IT managers sleep better.”
