Cut Cloud Waste — Evidence‑Backed Azure Savings in 48 Hours

Overview

A focused 48‑hour Targeted Azure SQL Cost and Resource Optimization review led by cloud cost and platform specialists that combines your Azure billing data with instance metadata, performance counters and Query Store extracts (where available) to pinpoint immediate savings and efficiency gains without accessing table data or PII.

We correlate 30‑day billing exports or Cost Management CSVs with runtime telemetry to identify idle resources, mis‑sized SKUs, storage inefficiencies and commitment opportunities, then produce a short, evidence‑backed action plan with conservative savings estimates and prioritized, low‑risk steps you can implement quickly.

Who Benefits

Cloud finance owners, FinOps leads, and IT managers who need fast, auditable cost reduction opportunities. DBAs and platform teams who want a clear, low‑risk roadmap to reduce waste without disrupting production. CIOs and procurement seeking documented savings to accelerate budget approvals. Organisations on Azure with measurable spend who want a short, fixed‑scope engagement that produces near‑term ROI.

What We Don’t Do

• We do not access table data, row‑level data, or PII.
• We do not perform live changes in your environment; recommendations are advisory.
• We do not include procurement or vendor negotiations; we can support these only with explicit written approval.
• We do not provide ongoing FinOps management or continuous cost monitoring in this fixed‑scope review.
• We do not guarantee exact savings — we provide conservative, evidence‑based estimates to inform decisions.

Results and What to Expect

• Immediate clarity: a concise, auditable report showing where money is leaking and which fixes deliver the fastest returns.
• Actionable savings: quick wins you can implement in hours or days (e.g., idle instance shutdowns, SKU downgrades, storage tiering) and medium‑term moves (commitment purchases).
• Decision support: conservative ROI estimates and purchase sizing to help procurement and FinOps teams act with confidence.
• Follow‑on pathways: clear options for implementation support, ongoing FinOps, or deeper architecture reviews if you want us to execute the recommendations.

Investment and payment terms

• One‑time fee: €1,300 (excl. VAT). 48‑hour fixed‑scope delivery.
• Payment: 50% prepayment required to schedule; balance due on delivery.
