You can lower your Azure bill!

More than 90% of the partners pay too much for the use of Azure. 

In the past weeks, with the help of the Smart Azure Calculator, we have been able to show a number of partners that they paid too much for their Azure use. That ran from 15% to more than 30% per month!

This is not only a waste of money, but also indicates that these partners are insufficiently aware of how they can save costs on Azure in a relatively simple way. The conclusion therefore seems appropriate to state that their bids will not be very competitive for that reason.

The accompanying graph shows where savings can be made by analyzing its Azure environment on these aspects together with the partner. The advantages of the Azure Hybrid Benefit are often insufficiently exploited, because the PAYG Windows Server licenses are purchased as standard, the same applies to the use of Reserved Instances, especially now that Microsoft has made the rules for using them more flexible.

The Smart Azure calculator provides detailed insight into the choices that need to be made and immediately shows the consequences of these choices. This increases the insight into the Azure price dynamics and the understanding of how not only Azure costs can be structurally reduced, but also quotations to customers can be drawn up more sharply.

In short, it is worth taking a look at this. Do you want to use the Smart Azure Calculator yourself to determine the above in a free trial?  Mail me: [email protected]
