Hybrid Cloud Optimisation
Full control over your Microsoft spend – whether that’s on-premises, in the cloud or hybrid.
Hybrid Cloud Optimisation
For most organisations, a large portion of their funds are spent on Microsoft, so it’s worth ensuring the money is spent well and that your company has no exposure to any unacceptable risks and expenditure.
We can assist you to save money in a number of ways, including:
- Discovering and identifying your Microsoft apps and databases
- Comparing on-premises costs against cloud costs so you can redeploy more expensive applications or databases in a cloud platform
- Reconciliation and advice on your Office 365 subscriptions
- Looking into whether you’re running too many Azure instances
Cloud Readiness
Plan your cloud journey and move to the cloud with no surprises.
Cloud Readiness
More and more organisations are adopting cloud-based software and infrastructure. Regardless of what stage you are in your cloud journey, we can deliver value in areas such as:
- Optimisation of on-premises licenses
- Identification of where on-premises can be migrated
- Movement tracking to the cloud
- Viewing hybrid cloud consumption with ease
