Cloud & Infrastructure Assessment

Cloud costs are the most predictable line item in most technology budgets and the most consistently over-spent. We find the gap between what you pay and what you need.

Cloud Should Create Efficiency. For Most Organizations, It Creates Sprawl.

Cloud adoption was supposed to simplify IT. For many organizations, it has done the opposite. Multiple cloud providers with fragmented architectures, storage costs growing faster than usage, services provisioned during projects and never deprovisioned, and infrastructure decisions made under pressure that no one has revisited since.

The Axis Point Advisors Cloud and Infrastructure Assessment takes a structured look at your cloud environment from the outside in. We analyze spend patterns, architecture decisions, redundancy and recovery posture, and the gap between what your cloud infrastructure was designed to do and what your business actually needs it to do today.

According to the Telarus 2026-27 Technology Trends Report, cloud cost optimization is the top infrastructure priority for mid-market IT leaders, with most organizations identifying substantial addressable waste within the first 90 days of a structured review.

Organizations That Have Grown into Their Cloud Without Growing a Plan

Multi-cloud environments without clear governance

When AWS, Azure, and other providers coexist without a unified management layer, costs compound and complexity multiplies. We map the full environment and identify consolidation opportunities.

Businesses evaluating colocation or data center decisions

The build vs. buy vs. colo decision looks different depending on your workload profile, compliance requirements, and growth trajectory. This assessment gives you the data to make it well.

Organizations approaching cloud contract renewals

Cloud enterprise agreements are some of the most complex negotiations in enterprise IT. We prepare you with usage data, benchmarks, and leverage before you walk into that conversation.

PE-backed companies managing post-acquisition cloud environments

Inherited cloud environments are rarely optimized. This assessment identifies waste, rationalization opportunities, and the infrastructure roadmap that supports your value creation plan.

Simple Process. Clear Deliverables.

We designed this to be as straightforward as possible for your team. Here is what to expect.

1

Spend and Usage Analysis

We gather cloud spend data, usage reports, and service inventories across all providers, then analyze cost patterns against actual utilization and business requirements.

2

Architecture and Redundancy Review

We assess your cloud architecture for design gaps, single points of failure, backup and recovery posture, and alignment with your business continuity requirements.

3

Optimization and Roadmap

You receive a findings report with quantified savings opportunities, architecture recommendations, and a phased roadmap for consolidation, optimization, and long-term cost management.
