Expert insights on Azure optimisation and licensing

Azure overspending happens because Microsoft’s native tools don’t flag the problems that drain your budget. Reserved Instances sit unused while you pay on-demand rates. Hybrid Use Benefits remain misconfigured. Dev/test environments run in production-tier pricing. License assignments don’t match actual consumption.

Microsoft reports your spend. We identify your waste. Technical guides, compliance strategies, and case evidence from real engagements.
