About the Client
The customer is the digital-transformation arm of a global leader in engineering, architecture, environmental, and construction services. From utilities to transportation and energy, they help enterprises re-imagine operations through cloud-first innovation.
Challenge: Post-Pandemic Cloud Sprawl
- Pandemic-era growth almost doubled Azure usage, outpacing budgets.
- Over-provisioned resources and non-existent autoscaling drove monthly spend sky-high.
- Fragmented vendor relationships made cost governance nearly impossible.
- Limited visibility meant teams discovered overruns only after invoices arrived.
Our Approach
- Listen First – Deep-dive stakeholder interviews surfaced pain points and quick-win opportunities.
- Data-Driven Baseline – Collected 90 days of telemetry to pinpoint cost hotspots and idle assets.
- Rightsize & Rationalize – Matched every workload to the optimal VM size, storage tier, and license model.
- Guardrails & Governance – Introduced Azure Budgets, Policy, and tags for real-time accountability.
- Modernize to Autoscale – Containerized legacy apps so they expand and contract with demand.
- Continuous Improvement – Deployed dashboards and alerts to keep savings compounding quarter over quarter.
Business Impact
| Metric | Result |
