Unmonitored Azure usage can quietly erode margins and limit future investments. The challenge is controlling costs without limiting the speed and flexibility your teams need.

It’s rarely one bad decision that drives overspend. It’s cumulative; unused resources, overprovisioned VMs, missed optimisation alerts, and lack of accountability across teams.

Explore Microsoft’s Cost Management + Billing, a key resource for understanding and reducing Azure-related costs.

Cloud Platform Optimisation (CPO) puts financial discipline into your operational workflow without adding friction to development. Here’s what CPO provides:

• Real-Time Budget Alerts: Set custom thresholds to detect and prevent overruns.
• Usage Visibility: Break down spend by resource group, subscription, or department.
• Automated Rightsizing: Adjust compute and storage to fit actual usage.
• Wastage Elimination: Identify and decommission idle or orphaned resources.
• Local Currency Billing: Get billing and optimisation reports in your local currency for better forecasting and control.

With Azure CPO, your teams maintain agility while the platform stays lean, predictable, and aligned with your budget targets.

Financial efficiency shouldn’t come at the cost of delivery speed.
