Azure and Microsoft 365 Cost Optimization

Many companies see their bill grow after moving to the cloud. The usual causes are oversized VMs, resources left running, unused licenses and missing reservations. RHC finds the waste, removes it and sets up governance so costs stay under control.

The challenges

  • Servers moved with their on-premises sizes are often larger than they need to be.
  • Workloads that run 24/7 stay on pay-as-you-go, with no reservations or savings plans.
  • Unattached disks, old snapshots, idle VMs and test environments keep running and billing.
  • Inactive users keep paid licenses, and some users have premium plans where a basic one would do.
  • Without tags and budgets, nobody knows which team or project is spending.

How we do it

  1. 1Spend analysis: review of Azure Cost Management data and Microsoft 365 license usage.
  2. 2Quick wins: remove orphaned resources, shut down idle VMs and schedule non-production environments.
  3. 3Right-sizing: adjust VM, database and storage tiers to real usage.
  4. 4Commitment discounts: recommend Azure Reservations, Savings Plans and Azure Hybrid Benefit where they pay off.
  5. 5License review: reassign or remove unused Microsoft 365 licenses and adjust plans by user profile.
  6. 6Governance: tags, budgets, alerts and Azure Policy to prevent new waste.
  7. 7Ongoing reviews: monthly or quarterly reports with savings tracked over time.
