Azure cost optimization that holds.

We cut waste and improve the rate across your Azure estate, then lock it with governance so the savings do not drift back. Pay a fixed fee, or pay us only from what we save you. 31% average reduction across 500+ environments since 2019.

The problem

Azure bills grow in ways that are hard to see. A VM gets sized for launch-day headroom and never revisited. A team buys a three year reservation on top of that oversized VM and locks in the waste. Premium tiers get selected by default, Log Analytics quietly ingests everything, disks and snapshots pile up after resources are deleted, and Hybrid Benefit, the single largest lever on many Microsoft bills, sits unused because nobody owns the license mapping. The result is an Azure bill that is routinely 20 to 35 percent larger than it needs to be.

We are independent and vendor neutral. We sit on your side of the table against the Azure bill, with no incentive to push you toward more spend.

Our approach: See, Cut, Lock, Run

See

We normalize your Azure spend with FOCUS data and fix tagging through Azure Policy and management groups, so every dollar has an owner before we touch anything.

Cut

Rightsize VMs, disks and databases, clear idle and orphaned resources, schedule non-production, then commit. Reservations and savings plans last, on a clean baseline.

Lock

Budgets, anomaly alerts and guardrails in Cost Management so a new deployment cannot quietly undo the savings.

Run

Continuous monitoring, fresh commitments laddered as old ones expire, and a unit cost that keeps falling as you scale.

What is included

An Azure engagement covers the full set of levers detailed in the complete guide to Azure cost optimization: virtual machine and disk rightsizing, idle and orphaned resource cleanup, Spot adoption for the right workloads, Blob storage tiering, Azure SQL and Cosmos DB tuning, AKS optimization, Log Analytics and networking cost control, the full reservations versus savings plan decision, and Azure Hybrid Benefit. Where your spend warrants it, we also sit on the buyer's side of a Microsoft Azure commitment negotiation.

How you pay

Model 01

Fixed fee

Scoped to the engagement

A defined scope and a defined price. Best when you want a known cost for a known piece of work.

  • Clear deliverables
  • Predictable budget
  • Fast to start
Model 02

Performance fee

No savings, no fee

We carry the risk and are paid from the savings we realize. If we save you nothing, you pay nothing.

  • Zero downside
  • Aligned incentives
  • Paid from realized savings
Model 03

Managed FinOps

Ongoing monthly service

We run Azure cost optimization continuously as a monthly service, with reviews and anomaly response.

  • Continuous optimization
  • Monthly reviews
  • Always-on guardrails

The three models are explained in full on the pricing page.

Proof

We have optimized more than $420M in cloud spend across 500-plus environments since 2019, with a 31 percent average reduction in the monthly bill. On Azure specifically, see the retail on Azure case study, where Hybrid Benefit, disk rightsizing and reservations took 31 percent off a $2.1M annual bill.

We will map your Azure spend, find the waste, model the right commitment mix, and tell you the number. On the performance model, the audit pays for itself or it is free.
