Cost Management & Azure Optimisation
Make your cloud pay for itself, by cutting Azure waste and taking control of Microsoft spend.
Checked 4 October 2026. Built from the full service page.
In short: We cut Azure waste and Microsoft overspend without touching any workload's performance. Organisations estimate they waste 29% of their cloud spend. If the bill has grown without anyone owning it, start with visibility rather than with cuts.
Who this is for
The problem
Unused E5 seats, orphaned disks, oversized VMs and idle test environments: none of it shows up as a single alarming line item, it just erodes margin month after month until a renewal forces the conversation. The audit is the easy part, most businesses simply haven't done it.
What we would do
If your Azure bill has grown without anyone owning it, start with visibility rather than cuts. Accurate attribution and a forecast usually reveal that the largest savings are non-production environments running around the clock and orphaned resources nobody decommissioned.
- If a renewal or commitment decision is imminent, right-size first and reserve afterwards, or you commit to the wrong number for years.
- If the estate is small and mostly Microsoft 365 rather than Azure, licensing review will return more than infrastructure optimisation.
When we are not the answer: If nobody internally will own the actions afterwards, this will not work and we would rather not take it on. The analysis is the easy part; estates fall down on the report being read and nothing in it being assigned to a person with a date.
What is included

- Right-sizing of compute, storage and licences
- Reserved instances and savings plan strategy

What the last 12 months looked like
34% Azure spend saved
How a continuous cost-optimisation programme recovered around a third of a client's Azure spend, funded from waste rather than capacity.

What it costs
Scoped and quoted against your estate rather than sold from a rate card. We price what you already run, including the parts that are working and do not need replacing, and the quote itemises what is included so it can be compared line by line with anyone else’s. Managed IT support starts at £40 per user, per month if that is the wider question.
Three questions people ask
How much can Azure cost optimisation actually save?
Organisations estimate they waste 29% of their cloud spend, according to Flexera's 2026 State of the Cloud report.
Is this a one-off audit or ongoing?
We can do either, but the biggest results come from treating cost as a continuous discipline: monitoring, monthly reporting and budget alerts so savings don't quietly reappear as waste again next year.
Will cutting costs affect performance or reliability?
No. Right-sizing means matching resources to real utilisation, not starving them. We base every change on actual usage data, so you cut waste without touching the capacity your workloads genuinely need.
