Immediate benefits on the optimisation path.
At a time when agility, security and resilience have never been more important, Logicalis has developed several expert service offerings that enable customers to automate cloud resource optimisation and maximise their Microsoft investment across their IT environments. The result is greater efficiencies, lower IT risk, reduced costs, and future-ready technology around which organisations from a wide range of industries and sectors can reliably scale and grow.
Amid the upheaval of the last few years, thousands of IT teams across the country reacted admirably to deploy the solutions their organisations needed to enable hybrid/remote working, maintain business continuity, and keep operations running.
Yet migrating to any new system – or leveraging the cloud for new services or workloads – presents hurdles of its own, especially if those systems are implemented rapidly. In the rush to meet demand and solve business challenges, it’s not uncommon for roll-outs to be hurried, add-ons skipped and (potentially critical) steps overlooked.
Without regular governance and oversight, technology investments and cloud costs can easily skyrocket and negatively impact the path to profitability that is required for long term success.
How can we help?
As customers embrace the benefits to be gained from optimisation, Logicalis have the specialist knowledge and industry best practices to deliver the respective skills, experience and supporting processes.
“With Logicalis Optimisation Services, we help organisations overcome obstacles associated with digital transformation and reduce the complexity of their environments.”
Scott Hodges, Cloud Practice and Technical Lead, Logicalis

Cloud Cost Management Services
Address out-of-control cloud costs and improve cloud efficiency
Offering faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale it’s no surprise that businesses are increasing their consumption of cloud services at a rapid rate. However, a drawback of this is that costs can grow quickly and, if not managed properly, can spiral out of control leaving you in ‘bill shock’.
Do you have a cloud spending problem?
Don’t panic; cloud is a good thing for your business, you just need the right cloud cost strategy. A Logicalis Cloud Cost Management service is a managed solution that provides visibility into your cloud usage, insights into your cloud expenditure, shows you where you can optimise those costs, and automates aspects of cost management controls to keep costs low.
This service works with leading cloud platforms including Microsoft, AWS, and GCP so that you can simplify and automate your cloud infrastructure wherever your workloads and applications run and however you run them. With the goal of reducing resource usage and spend down to operating only what’s necessary:
- Single view of your cloud consumption and costs across all cloud providers and subscriptions
- Actionable insights and automated cost management controls
- Reduce waste and spend
“By helping our clients navigate the complexity of cloud use and costs, we can maximise the value and flexibility of the hybrid cloud, but costs are contained.”
Harry Azariah, Senior Cloud Solution Architect, Logicalis
