Who this is for

  • You own or influence the Azure / Microsoft 365 bill and it's crept up without a clear reason
  • Nobody has audited licence assignment or resource usage in the last 12 months
  • You need board-ready reporting, not just a one-off spreadsheet clean-up

What is included

  • Azure waste and anomaly detection
  • Right-sizing of compute, storage and licences
  • Reserved instances and savings plan strategy
  • Microsoft 365 licence optimisation
  • Board-ready monthly cost reporting
  • Continuous forecasting and budget alerts

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 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.

Evidence

34% Azure spend saved

A growing UK business. How a continuous cost-optimisation programme recovered around a third of a client's Azure spend, funded from waste rather than capacity. Full write-up: https://systechitsolutions.co.uk/case-studies/azure-cost-optimisation

Our case studies are anonymised at our clients’ request, so they name no client and no sector.

The next step, if you want one

Cloud cost review. 45 minutes, plus a written summary within three working days. You keep the written findings whether or not you engage us, and there is no sales call before it.

Not ready for that? The full service page is at https://systechitsolutions.co.uk/services/cost, or call the number at the top of this sheet.

Getting out. Monthly subscriptions need one month’s written notice. Annual subscriptions run to the end of the term, and ending one early carries the balance of that term. Managed services are governed by a signed Services Agreement, which sets its own notice period and is agreed with you before you sign anything. Full terms: https://systechitsolutions.co.uk/legal/customer-terms.

Response targets and the onboarding schedule sit in that Services Agreement rather than on this sheet, because both are set against your estate and your operating pattern at scoping. Ask for them in writing before you sign, and we will put them there.
