What to expect

Where the savings come from, and how long they take.

Most cloud overspend comes from the same few places: instances larger than the workload needs, resources left running, and architectures that were never sized properly. A readiness assessment takes two to four weeks and maps what you run today against what it should cost. The work typically pays for itself within three to six months.
