AI-Powered Microsoft 365 and Azure Optimisation
Many businesses have made the move to Azure expecting to see a variety of benefits, including cost reductions and better visibility over their estate. Similarly, many organisations are paying for Microsoft licenses that are packed full of features that promise to improve productivity, collaboration and communication.
However, often these benefits are not fully realised due to poor optimisation. Whilst there are ways to increase visibility and optimise for cost and security, businesses rarely have the time or expertise to effectively optimise their Microsoft 365 and Azure infrastructure.
What is SCOUT?
SCOUT is an AI-powered read-only platform specifically designed to help organisations optimise cost, security and resource management within Azure subscriptions and consumption, as well as Microsoft 365 environments.
Where other cost optimisation tools, such as Microsoft Cost Management, allow surface-level monitoring and optimisation, SCOUT takes it to the next level with in-depth governance, cost management, admin logs, tagging and cost allocation across your entire estate.
What are the benefits of SCOUT?
Reduce Spend
On average, SCOUT will reduce your annual Azure and Microsoft 365 spend by 30%. This is achieved through AI-powered understanding of usage and expenditure to regain control over cloud resources and their costs.
Gain Clarity of Billing
SCOUT’s analytics and reporting capabilities can help you identify duplicate functionality and associated costs in your Azure environment and underutilised features in Microsoft 365 subscriptions. These insights can enable you to reduce expenditure or assign these costs to improving security posture.
Improve Security Posture
SCOUT can help you identify gaps in your security posture without requiring multiple third-party solutions. The AI-powered recommendations will indicate which applications should be replaced and highlight potential cost savings.
Stay Compliant
SCOUT can assist businesses in achieving regulatory compliance and streamline compliance reporting. The Tagging Engine categorises services, enabling you to identify business-critical services to invest in and optimise and which areas can be ignored.
