Results
Identified £6.42 million in immediate savings
A major telecommunications business was spending approximately £40 million per year on cloud services, with additional migrations planned that were expected to further increase spend. While the business had visibility into its estate, the absence of a clear tagging policy and structured FinOps practices meant it struggled to track costs across business units and control resource allocation effectively.
Finabeo identified £6.42 million in immediate savings, including £2.1 million from resizing application capacity and £4.32 million from resource and environment-based recommendations. Additionally, the compute analysis provided insight into a further £8 million of potential savings, which could be realised through more strategic use of Azure services. The engagement not only delivered measurable financial benefits but also established governance practices to sustain long-term optimisation.
Using Optimus, Finabeo conducted a detailed review of storage, databases, and compute resources across the client’s Azure estate. The analysis identified significant inefficiencies in application capacity, resource provisioning, and environment-based practices. A comprehensive tagging policy was also developed to improve transparency across business units and strengthen cost governance.
