Who are Space & Time?
Space & Time is on a mission to become Europe’s largest technology-enabled B-Corp growth marketing agency. Agility, transparency, and efficiency are at the core of their operations, making the right IT setup a crucial enabler for growth.
The Challenge
As Space & Time expanded, keeping Microsoft 365 licensing cost-effective became increasingly important. While their previous partner delivered a reliable service, the team wanted to ensure they were getting the most competitive pricing and clearer visibility of spend. At the same time, they saw value in having more direct control over licence management, rather than relying solely on external support.
The Solution
Advantage Business Systems migrated Space & Time to its Direct Tier Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) service. This provided:
- Competitive pricing on Microsoft 365 licences, including over 100 Business Premium licences and saving over £15k off Microsoft's RRP
- A self-service portal for instant licence management (add, remove, or adjust)
- Real-time billing visibility for improved cost transparency
The transition was seamless, with Advantage working closely with the IT team to ensure smooth implementation.
The Benefits
By moving to Advantage, Space & Time has gained:
- More competitive pricing on Microsoft 365 licensing
- The flexibility to make licence adjustments directly via the portal
- Real-time visibility into billing and usage
- Confidence working with a proactive, Microsoft-accredited partner

“Advantage has given us excellent pricing on our Microsoft 365 licences and the ability to manage them directly through a simple portal.

What Advantage said
Christo Van Zyl, Managed Service Director at Advantage, added:
“Our mission is to give clients greater control over their technology. For Space & Time, that means competitive pricing, transparency, and flexibility – all delivered through one simple portal. We’re delighted to support their journey as they continue to grow.”
Conclusion
By moving to Advantage, Space & Time has secured competitive Microsoft 365 pricing and greater control over licence management. With real-time billing insights and the support of a trusted Microsoft partner, their IT team is better equipped to respond to the needs of a fast-growing business.
