Turning an opaque Azure and licensing bill into clear, quantified spend

The client couldn't clearly quantify what it was spending on Azure or on its various Microsoft licence and subscription services. The bill was opaque, with no breakdown by service, workload or owner, which made it impossible to plan or challenge the cost.

• Mapped and quantified the Azure billing across services, resource groups and workloads
• Reviewed the full Microsoft licence and subscription estate
• Attributed spend to workloads and owners so every line had a why
• Produced clear, board-ready reporting the client could actually act on
• Flagged the waste and licence sprawl to tackle next

• Full visibility of Azure and licence spend for the first time
• A clear breakdown by service and workload, not one unexplained total
• A firm foundation for right-sizing and ongoing cost control
