OVERVIEW

Join us for a straight-talking session where we tackle a common challenge in modern organisations: gaining control of cloud spend management.

We’ll show you how Codify’s Azure Benchmarking report provides a clear, data-driven view of how your costs stack up against your peers. This session goes beyond simple Azure cost monitoring, moving the conversation past foundational cost controls to help you pinpoint hidden inefficiencies and unnecessary spending.

Through real-world Azure Cost Management case studies from Australian organisations, you’ll learn how to uncover hidden savings and security gaps. We’ll give you the evidence needed to build a compelling business case for change, helping you optimise your cloud spending and prevent future bill shock and strengthen your defences.

CASE STUDY 1

Health & Community Services

Discover how an aged care organisation reduced cloud costs and uncovered a critical security vulnerability.

By analysing their spending on foundational services and identifying outliers in security and networking, they were able to optimise their budget and address a glaring gap in their network security.

Learn more about their journey and how you can apply these insights to your own organisation.

CASE STUDY 2

Retail & Manufacturing

Learn how a well-managed retail and manufacturing environment still uncovered excessive licensing costs and a critical security gap.

Despite optimising other areas, unmanaged licensing drove costs sky-high, and a deprioritised security budget led to a silent and dangerous accumulation of risk.

Discover how they identified and addressed these issues, and what it means for your own organisation’s security posture and budget.
