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.

Mature Your Microsoft 365 E5 Investment: 5 Underused Purview Security & Compliance Capabilities
Many organizations license Microsoft 365 E5 for advanced security or compliance needs, but later realize they’re only using a fraction of what they already own. This month’s YouAlreadyOwnIt Cloud Office Hours will focus on practical ways to mature your E5 investment by activating and sequencing lesser-used security and compliance capabilities—without a rip-and-replace project.
During this session, we will explore five “hidden gem” features across Microsoft Purview that help you move from baseline policies to more adaptive, defensible governance. We’ll discuss how these capabilities can reduce risk, speed investigations, and better protect sensitive data across Teams and email, using rollout patterns that match how organizations actually work.

Most organizations deploy E5 for one reason — advanced security, compliance, or visibility — and leave the rest sitting idle. Not because the capabilities aren’t valuable, but because the rollout stops before it starts. The result: you’re carrying the cost of a mature security program without the protection that justifies it.
Out latest Perspectives blog breaks down five underused Microsoft Purview capabilities that are already included in your E5 license — and how to activate them in the right order to reduce risk, accelerate investigations, and automate controls that are currently manual. From Insider Risk Management and Adaptive Protection to DLP for Teams and Advanced Message Encryption, these aren’t add-ons. They’re capabilities you already own.
