Start with the workload and its owner
A smaller cloud bill is useful only if the environment still meets its operational needs. Begin with resource ownership, current usage, licensing, availability requirements and the teams authorized to approve changes.
- Identify Azure subscriptions, virtual machines, storage and virtual desktop workloads.
- Record known commitments, business hours, capacity needs and upcoming projects.
- Separate unused resources from resources retained for recovery or planned demand.
Agree the review deliverable
The proposal can name a resource inventory, findings list and change priorities. A finding should state the resource, evidence, assumption, operational risk and decision owner. Implementation, monitoring and any recurring review are separate responsibilities unless included.
Validate a change before expanding it
Use approved access and a change window. Define the acceptance check and rollback condition for a resource change, then review the outcome before changing similar workloads. Microsoft licensing and cloud consumption remain separate from the service fee.
Questions buyers ask
Do you guarantee a percentage saving?
No. A useful review depends on the current environment and constraints. Findings and trade-offs are documented; a saving is not promised before assessment.
Can you review AWS costs?
AWS is part of the infrastructure toolkit. Specific services and responsibilities must be assessed before an AWS review is included in a proposal.
