Azure that is governed, not just provisioned

Azure landing zones, migration, cost governance and managed operations under CSP billing.

The problem

Azure subscriptions grow by accretion. A project creates a resource group, another team creates a subscription, and eighteen months later nobody can explain a third of the bill or say with confidence which resources could be switched off tonight without consequence.

How we approach it

We build the governance layer that should have existed at the start: a landing zone with a subscription and management group structure that matches how your organisation is actually accountable for cost, a tagging policy that is enforced rather than requested, and budget alerts that fire before the invoice rather than with it.

Where there is an existing estate, we start by making the current spend explicable, which usually recovers a meaningful amount before any migration work begins.

What you get

  • Subscription and management group structure aligned to cost accountability
  • Enforced tagging so spend is attributable by default
  • Azure Hybrid Benefit applied where existing licences allow it
  • Reserved instance and savings plan analysis against measured baseline
  • Budget alerts and anomaly detection
  • Consolidated INR invoicing with GST through CSP

How the engagement runs

The sequence, and why each stage comes where it does.

  1. Estate review

    Current subscriptions, resources and spend are mapped against owners and workloads.

  2. Quick wins

    Orphaned resources, over-provisioned compute and unattached storage are identified and addressed first.

  3. Landing zone

    Management groups, policy, network topology and identity are established as a governed foundation.

  4. Commitment planning

    Once the baseline is measured rather than assumed, reserved capacity is purchased against the steady portion.

  5. Ongoing governance

    Monthly cost review, anomaly investigation and right-sizing recommendations.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take over billing for an existing Azure tenant?
Yes. Moving to CSP billing is an administrative change with no effect on running resources - no downtime, no reconfiguration, no migration of workloads.
What is Azure Hybrid Benefit worth?
It applies existing Windows Server and SQL Server licences with Software Assurance to Azure compute, and for Windows-heavy estates it commonly reduces virtual machine cost substantially. Whether you qualify depends on your licence entitlements, which we check rather than assume.
