Customer SuccessStory
40% Azure Cost Reduction for a Parcel Delivery Leader
A leading parcel delivery company partnered with us to take control of their growing Microsoft cloud costs. By applying our Negotiate, Rightsize, Optimize framework, we delivered significant savings across both Azure and Microsoft 365 environments.
The Challenge
The customer was experiencing rising Azure costs driven by expanding workloads—particularly around Databricks compute and storage. At the same time, they were over-licensed on Microsoft 365, resulting in unnecessary annual spend.
Our Approach
We began by rightsizing their Azure environment, identifying underutilized Databricks clusters, oversized virtual machines, and redundant storage. Through strategic optimization, including autoscaling and workload scheduling, we further reduced costs without impacting performance.
In parallel, we negotiated a new Microsoft 365 licensing agreement. By aligning licenses with actual user needs and eliminating excess, we helped the customer secure more favorable pricing and terms.
The Results
- 40% reduction in Azure spend through workload optimization
- €60,000 annual savings on Microsoft 365 licensing
- Greater visibility and long-term governance over their cloud environments
This success not only delivered immediate financial impact—it also equipped the customer with a sustainable, optimized cloud cost strategy moving forward.
It starts with insights
Every smart cloud decision begins with a clear understanding of where you stand. That’s why we put data at the heart of everything we do.
Our services are built on delivering data-driven insights that uncover how your Microsoft cloud environment is actually being used—what’s driving costs, where inefficiencies exist, and where the greatest opportunities lie. Whether it’s Azure compute and storage, Microsoft 365 licensing, or broader usage patterns across your organization, we give you the clarity you need to act with confidence.
With our tailored reporting, dashboards, and analytics, you get more than raw data—you get actionable intelligence. These insights empower your teams to make informed decisions, optimize usage, and stay in control of costs over time.
