Cost and Performance Optimization

You run workloads on Azure and the bill keeps climbing with little clarity. This service is for CIOs, digital transformation leaders and finance partners who need real savings without risking uptime or compliance.

Who is this for

  • CIO/CTO with Azure spend rising faster than usage.
  • Digital transformation lead asked to justify cloud costs to finance.
  • Teams inheriting messy subscriptions from vendors or past projects.
  • Banks or regulated companies that need cost control with evidence for audits.

Problems we solve

  • Azure invoice growing and nobody can explain the drivers.
  • Idle or oversized VMs, databases and storage left running after projects.
  • No tagging or budgets, so finance and engineering argue over numbers.
  • Spikes from chatty services, inefficient queries or misconfigured autoscaling.
  • Lack of savings plan/reservation strategy or shutdown schedules.

What we do

We combine quick-win savings with guardrails so costs stay down and the platform remains stable.

  • Audit subscriptions, tags and spend drivers to find waste and overprovisioning.
  • Right-size compute, SQL and storage; plan reservations/savings plans where they make sense.
  • Set schedules and policies to stop orphan resources and non-prod waste.
  • Fix high-cost patterns (chatty services, bad queries, misused storage tiers).
  • Build simple cost views for finance and engineering with budgets and alerts.

How we work

Small senior team, short diagnostic, then a clear backlog of fixes you can track.

  • Start with a focused review of invoices and top resources.
  • Prioritize actions with expected savings and risk level.
  • Execute changes in small batches with rollback paths and change windows.
  • Weekly check-ins, updates in Azure DevOps/Jira, and knowledge transfer so your team owns the controls.

What you get

  • 20–40% targeted savings actions with evidence of impact.
  • Clean tagging, budgets and dashboards that finance trusts.
  • Fewer incidents from cost-related misconfigurations.
  • A repeatable FinOps cadence to prevent spend from bouncing back.
