Azure Cost Optimisation Assessment

Understand your Azure costs, find opportunities to reduce spent, get recommendations to ensure correct performance and get advice on your cost governance processes.

About Azure Cost Optimisation Assessment

We understand that after a period of growth or extra development, the company’s Azure spend can increase significantly or that many companies don’t have processes to manage their Azure subscriptions and understand the costs of the resources they are utilising.

Data-Driven’s Azure cost optimisation assessment aims to understand your company’s current Azure estate, use and over/underutilized resources, and help you design a strategic roadmap to remove or scale down/up your Azure services in order to reduce Azure spent.

This includes ensuring the system performance remained unaffected, plus a series of recommendations to improve Azure cost management going forward.
