Unleash the Power of Your Microsoft Investment
Whether you’re looking to reduce costs, increase ROI, or modernize service delivery, YouAlreadyOwnIt® helps reimagine what’s possible using the Microsoft technology you already own.
Do more with what you already own.
At Planet, we believe you don’t always need to spend more to get more. This is the foundation of our YouAlreadyOwnIt® philosophy—the belief that greater outcomes can be achieved by tapping into the tools available through an existing Microsoft Enterprise Agreement.
Many organizations have access to a vast suite of powerful capabilities, yet critical tools often go underused. Why?
- Lack of Visibility: Decision makers may not have a complete picture of what’s included.
- Competing Priorities: Pressing organizational needs can push long-term planning and technology adoption to the back burner.
- Too Many Solutions: Constant influx of new products can lead to duplicate purchases and increased technology debt.
Planet helps organizations cut through the complexity and noise. We show our partners how to reimagine what’s possible using the technology they already own in creative, mission-driven ways. The result? Lower costs, smarter decisions, and greater impact.
The community behind the philosophy.
A philosophy alone doesn’t drive change—it needs a community to activate it.
That’s why we created the YouAlreadyOwnIt® program.

Read Our Latest Blog
Microsoft Project Online is retiring September 30, 2026. The replacement decision is bigger than it looks. The instinct is to find a drop-in replacement. But what Microsoft is actually doing is broader, shifting away from a monolithic project management platform toward a work management model built across Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365. There is no single product that maps directly to what Project Online was.
For organizations with PMOs that depend on resource management, portfolio-level reporting, and capacity planning, the wrong choice means carrying forward assumptions that no longer fit or doing expensive rework later. This Perspectives blog breaks down the four Microsoft-aligned replacement paths, what each one does well, where each falls short, and how to evaluate your options based on how your organization actually works — not just what’s familiar.
