Microsoft Azure, a leading cloud service provider, offers a powerful and flexible platform that supports a wide range of applications and services.
However, many businesses are finding that their cloud expenses are getting out of hand, sometimes due to a lack of time (or expertise) available to spend researching and experimenting with useful cost-saving strategies.
Recent studies have shown that a significant number of companies are concerned about overspending on their Azure services. For example, according to Flexera's 2024 State of the Cloud Report, 59% of cloud businesses place cost optimisation as a top priority when it comes to their cloud usage. From the summary of the same report:
"Cloud spending remains substantial, as nearly half of all workloads and data are now in the public cloud. For the second year in a row, managing cloud expenses has emerged as a more pressing challenge than security, highlighting an intensified focus on FinOps practices and tools for optimizing cloud costs and enhancing efficiency."
Overspend is frequently attributed to underutilised resources, inefficient configurations, and a lack of visibility into cloud usage. Despite the powerful tools and features Azure provides, many organisations struggle to manage their costs effectively while still achieving their desired outcomes.
Cambridge Azure Expert Advice by Syplex Ltd
To address this growing concern, Syplex are excited to introduce their new Azure Advice service. This service is designed to help businesses optimise their Azure spending without compromising on performance or functionality. Syplex's experienced consultants will work with clients to analyse their current Microsoft Azure usage, identify areas of inefficiency, and suggest (or implement) tailored solutions that reduce costs.
Key features of the Azure Advice service include:
- Current Usage Analysis: In-depth assessments of current Azure deployments to pinpoint underutilised resources and inefficiencies. Given guest access to your tenant, our consultant will explore your current setup before your meeting.
- Cost Optimisation Strategies: Customised recommendations to adjust configurations, scale resources appropriately, and take advantage of cost-saving opportunities. Our consultant will discuss these with you to find out which are best suited to your needs.
- Ongoing Supportive Relationship: Cost-saving measures should be understandable, effective and sustainable over time. We will be available to answer follow-up questions and advise again in the future, should the need arise!
By leveraging our Azure Advice service, businesses can gain better control over their cloud expenses, ensuring that they only pay for what they truly need. This not only helps in reducing unnecessary costs but also allows organisations to reinvest those savings into other critical areas of their operations.
