Azure Cost Management Services

Unpredictable cloud billing is causing cloud repatriation and de-investment, where organisations across the world are struggling to optimise for, and maintain visibility over, their long term cloud costs.

With more companies embracing hybrid cloud strategies, understanding costs on platforms like Azure is more important that ever. Cloud cost optimisation, according to the 2023 Flexera report, is the single highest challenge across all organisations. But managing those costs – having fuller visibility – is no small feat when you have ambitious plans to scale or high demand.

Azure Cost Optimisation.

CSI’s Azure Cost Management Support.

CSI’s cloud specialists help organisations simplify cloud spending through analysis on past and predicted future spends. Together with cloud migration modelling, cost optimisation, and cloud spend efficiency, we help review only the services you need to succeed in Azure.

As you accelerate innovation, adopt more services, scale, or even address demand, your Azure consumption can result in what feels like unpredictable, costly billing. In fact, spiralling cloud costs is contributing to cloud repatriation, which defines where organisations are U-turning on their cloud investments over struggles to control billing predictability.

Typical Cloud Cost Challenges. 

Working closely with clients across different, regulated industries, our cloud experts often hear about the challenges associated with managing costs in cloud platforms, such as:

  • How do I accurately forecast cloud costs?
  • How do I make sense of my billing?
  • Can I consolidate my billing and invoicing?
