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.
Overview
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.
Who This Is For
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.
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.
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.
Inherited cloud environments are rarely optimized. This assessment identifies waste, rationalization opportunities, and the infrastructure roadmap that supports your value creation plan.
How It Works
We designed this to be as straightforward as possible for your team. Here is what to expect.
We gather cloud spend data, usage reports, and service inventories across all providers, then analyze cost patterns against actual utilization and business requirements.
We assess your cloud architecture for design gaps, single points of failure, backup and recovery posture, and alignment with your business continuity requirements.
You receive a findings report with quantified savings opportunities, architecture recommendations, and a phased roadmap for consolidation, optimization, and long-term cost management.
