The Crucial Step to Effective Engagement

The noise of the market combined with AI tools bring color, not clarity.

Every year, businesses face an uneven playing field: incumbent lock-in from accepting price hikes because vetting alternatives eats up internal resources, information asymmetry where vendors know their margins and you're left guessing, and sales bureaucracy that wastes weeks before you get a straight answer. As your brokers, we sit on your side of the table and route you directly to the right people in a network of hundreds of competing providers.

Unlocking nearly $2 million in Microsoft savings

Cloud & Infrastructure · Entertainment

  • Just under $2,000,000 saved
  • 3 CSPs competing
  • Azure + Microsoft 365

The problem

An entertainment business was watching its Azure cloud costs climb with no end in sight. Their incumbent provider offered no proactive optimization guidance — the bill went up, and nobody was looking at why.

What we did

Our mapping tool aligned and introduced three top-tier Cloud Solution Providers, each competing with proposals covering Azure licensing discounts and ongoing workload optimization. The selected partner then went to work on the environment itself:

  • Restructured the client's Azure cloud.
  • Conducted Microsoft 365 licensing assessments to right-size seats.

The outcome

Just under $2,000,000 in total savings for the customer — and an ongoing optimization relationship in place of a provider who wasn't paying attention.
