Technology

Software is easy. Trust is hard.

Platforms, managed IT, M365 licence optimisation and digital advisory — Aboriginal-led, built for community outcomes.

Aboriginal-led Supply Nation Registered NSWICC Assured Member LGP First Nations Procurement ISO 42001 aligned NSW AI Framework ready National Ingram Micro partner

Every vendor can build you a platform. Very few can help community actually use it.

Government digital projects don't fail on code. They fail on trust — the gap between the people who built the system and the people it's meant to serve.

We've spent years closing that gap. Then we built software on top of it.

Yarning Bridge. Managed IT. M365 licence optimisation. AI governance. YC Studios. One Aboriginal-led technology partner — for government, enterprise and community.

We partner with Ingram Micro, giving our clients access to enterprise-grade technology sourcing, licensing and distribution at scale.

Microsoft 365 licence optimisation

Your Microsoft 365 bill is probably 10–30% higher than it should be.

Microsoft 365 doesn't come with a dedicated tool for managing and optimising licence usage. The result is a sprawl of inactive accounts, oversized plans, shared mailboxes with full E3 licences, and guest users burning budget — all invisible until someone spends weeks in PowerShell and still isn't confident enough to act.

We fix that. Our M365 Licence Optimisation service gives you complete visibility across your entire tenant — on-premises and cloud — then automates the governance so the waste doesn't come back.

Organisations typically reduce their Microsoft 365 spend by 10–30% after a licence audit.

Inactive users with assigned licences

E1, E3, E5, F1, F3, G1, G3, G5 — all surfaced

Shared mailboxes with full licences

Identified and flagged for right-sizing

Guest users consuming paid licences

Often overlooked, always costly

Licensed users with zero app activity

Planner, Project, Visio — unused but paid

Oversized plans that can be downsized

Right-size without disrupting users

Licence costs by team, location or department

Accurate chargebacks and budget accountability

Automated governance

Joiner. Mover. Leaver. Automated.

One-time reporting isn't enough. We automate licence governance across your entire M365 environment so the savings are permanent — not a one-off project.

Joiner workflows

New staff automatically receive the right licence on day one — no manual provisioning, no delays.

Mover workflows

When someone changes role or department, their licence profile updates automatically to match.

Leaver workflows

Departing staff have licences removed immediately — not weeks later when someone notices.

Continuous policy enforcement

Ongoing scans detect and remediate common issues before they become budget blowouts.

Continuous policy enforcement

Our automated scans continuously detect and remediate the most common licence waste patterns — disabled users with active licences, shared mailboxes on full plans, guest users burning paid seats, and licensed users with zero app activity. Issues are flagged and fixed before they compound.

Delegated licence pools

Stop the licence free-for-all.

In large organisations, unmanaged licence allocation creates political friction and productivity gaps. When one team takes more than their share, others are left without the tools they need.

We configure dedicated licence pools for each business unit, region, or department — accessible only to them. Every team gets what they need. No conflicts. No surprises on the bill.

Dedicated pools per business unit

Each team manages their own allocation without touching others

Regional licence control

Distributed organisations get distributed control

No more licence conflicts

One team can't accidentally consume another's allocation

Accountability at every level

Usage and cost visible to the right people

How we deliver it

From audit to ongoing management

Four steps from wasted spend to a clean, governed licence estate.

01

Licence audit

We run a full visibility scan across your M365 tenant — unused licences, underused plans, inactive accounts, and misallocated assignments. You get a clear picture of where the waste is.

02

Right-sizing plan

We map out exactly which licences can be removed, downsized, or reallocated — with a cost saving projection and zero-disruption implementation plan.

03

Governance setup

We configure automated JML workflows, policy enforcement, and delegated licence pools — so the savings are locked in and the waste doesn't return.

04

Ongoing management

Continuous monitoring, regular reporting, and a managed service that keeps your licence estate clean as your organisation grows and changes.

Ready to find out how much you're overspending?

We'll run a full licence audit across your M365 tenant and show you exactly where the waste is — at no cost.

AI governance

Councils are adopting AI whether they're ready or not.

The question isn't whether to use AI. It's whether you have the governance to use it responsibly. We help government and enterprise organisations build AI frameworks that are practical, audit-ready, and aligned to the NSW AI Assessment Framework and ISO 42001.

And because we're Aboriginal-led, we bring a perspective on data sovereignty, community impact and ethical AI that most technology consultants simply don't have.

Why Yarning Crescent

Products and services. That combination shouldn't be rare. It is.

Trust built before the code

Government digital projects don't fail on code. They fail on trust — the gap between the people who built the system and the people it's meant to serve. We've spent years closing that gap. Then we built software on top of it.

IPP-reportable digital spend

One of the few Aboriginal-led technology providers delivering both products and services. Your digital spend becomes IPP-reportable — without compromising on capability.

Government-grade security

Platforms built to government security standards. ISO 42001 AI governance alignment. NSW AI Assessment Framework ready. Not an afterthought — it's the foundation.

AI governance that's actually useful

Councils and agencies are adopting AI whether they're ready or not. We help you be ready — with frameworks that work in practice, not just on paper.
