Azure spend grows fast — and without expert management, it grows wastefully. Orphaned resources, oversized VMs, unused reservations, and poorly structured MACC commitments bleed millions from enterprise budgets every year. We analyze your entire Azure environment and deliver 20-40% improvement on commercial terms.
Azure cost management is harder than Microsoft wants you to think. If any of these situations sound familiar, we can help.
Azure consumption has a way of drifting upward — new resources spun up, old ones never decommissioned, dev/test environments left running. We find every dollar of waste and stop the drift.
Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitments (MACC) are the biggest negotiation lever — and the biggest trap — in an Azure relationship. We ensure your commitment reflects reality, not Microsoft's quota.
Reserved Instances can save 30-70% vs. pay-as-you-go — but only if they match your actual workloads. Over-reserving wastes money. Under-reserving leaves savings on the table. We model the optimum.
Unattached disks, idle load balancers, zombie VMs, forgotten storage accounts, unused public IPs — orphaned resources accumulate silently and can account for 10-25% of your Azure bill.
If you have on-premises Windows Server or SQL Server licenses with Software Assurance, you're entitled to significant Azure discounts. Most enterprises leave 30-50% of their AHB value unclaimed.
AWS, Azure, and GCP all want to be your primary provider. That competitive tension is your greatest negotiation lever — but only if you use it strategically. We help you play them against each other.
Orphaned resources, oversized compute, missed reservations, unclaimed hybrid benefits — it adds up fast. Let us show you exactly where your money is going.
We don't just run a cost analysis tool. We deliver hands-on, expert-led optimization across every dimension of your Azure spend.
Reserved Instances are the single biggest Azure savings lever — but getting the mix right requires deep workload analysis, commitment modeling, and exchange/cancellation planning.
Most Azure VMs are oversized by 40-60%. Storage tiers are mismatched. We analyze actual utilization data and right-size every resource to match real workload requirements.
Azure environments accumulate abandoned resources that cost money every hour. We systematically identify and eliminate every orphaned resource across your subscriptions.
Your Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment defines the commercial framework of your Azure relationship. We ensure it's right-sized, flexible, and negotiated at the best available terms.
Azure Hybrid Benefit lets you use on-premises licenses in Azure for significant savings. Most enterprises leave 30-50% of their AHB entitlement unclaimed. We fix that.
If you run AWS, Azure, and/or GCP, each provider's pricing is negotiable using the others as leverage. We help you build and execute a multi-cloud commercial strategy.
Our Azure bill was $14M annually and growing 30% year-over-year. Redress Compliance found $4.8M in immediate savings — orphaned resources, oversized VMs, unused reservations, and hybrid benefits we weren't claiming. They then renegotiated our MACC at 28% better terms. We're now spending less while running more workloads.
Comprehensive Azure analysis across 22 subscriptions. Found orphaned resources, oversized compute, unused RIs, and unclaimed AHB. Then renegotiated MACC terms.
Workload analysis identified 340 VMs suitable for 3-year RIs, 120 for 1-year, and 80 that should stay pay-as-you-go. Optimized mix saved 44% on compute.
Existing Windows Server and SQL Server licenses qualified for Azure Hybrid Benefit but weren't applied. Simple activation across 15 subscriptions, massive savings.
CPU utilization analysis showed 65% of VMs were oversized by 2+ tiers. Right-sizing 480 VMs with zero performance impact saved $1.2M annually.
Microsoft pushed a $15M MACC. Consumption analysis showed $9M was realistic. Negotiated flexible commitment with quarterly adjustment rights.
Credible multi-cloud strategy with documented AWS alternatives gave genuine competitive leverage. Microsoft matched aggressive pricing to retain workloads.
