Azure Expertise Without the Enterprise Price Tag
Whether you're planning your first Azure deployment or optimising an existing environment, we bring enterprise-level expertise tailored to mid-market budgets and timelines.
The Problem
Azure costs spiral when left unmanaged. Resources run 24/7 when they're only needed 9-5. Over-provisioned VMs waste thousands monthly. The big CSPs won't tell you - they profit from your waste.
What We Do
Comprehensive Cost Analysis
- Detailed spend breakdown by resource, resource group, and department
- Identification of unused or underutilized resources
- Historical trend analysis to predict future spend
Right-Sizing Recommendations
- VM sizing analysis based on actual CPU, memory, and disk usage
- Identifying over-provisioned resources
- Cost-benefit analysis for each recommendation
Reserved Instances & Savings Plans
- Analysis of predictable workloads for RI opportunities
- 1-year vs 3-year commitment recommendations
- Projected savings with implementation timeline
Architecture Optimisation
- Identifying more cost-effective service alternatives
- Scaling strategy improvements
- Storage tier optimisation
Ongoing Monitoring
- Monthly cost tracking and anomaly detection
- Budget alerts and forecasting
- Quarterly optimisation reviews
Deliverables
- Detailed cost analysis report
- Prioritised recommendation list with ROI calculations
- Implementation roadmap
- Monthly cost tracking dashboard
Pricing
- • One-time cost audit: R8,500
- • Ongoing optimisation management: R4,500/month
- • Typical savings: 20-40% of monthly Azure spend
ROI Example
R50,000/month Azure spend → R10,000-20,000/month savings → Service pays for itself in first month
The Problem
Your Azure environment grew organically. What started as a few VMs is now a complex web of resources. Is it secure? Is it scalable? Will it handle growth? The big CSPs won't review your setup unless you're spending six figures monthly.
