IT Cost Optimisation:
You Only Pay When You Save
Stop Overspending on IT. Start Investing in What Matters.
Most organisations overspend on IT by 20-40% without realising it. Cloud bills that spiral out of control, Microsoft licensing with hidden margins, over-provisioned infrastructure, and inefficient processes drain budgets that could fund innovation and growth.
Our IT Cost Optimisation service identifies where you're overspending and implements solutions that deliver guaranteed savings. The best part? You only pay when we actually reduce your costs.
Our Gainshare Model: Your Success Is Our Success
Traditional consulting charges you regardless of results. Our gainshare model works differently—we only succeed when you save money.
How It Works:

- Free Assessment – We analyse your current IT spending across cloud services, Microsoft licensing, infrastructure, and operations
- Savings Identification – We identify specific opportunities to reduce costs without compromising performance or security
- Implementation – We execute the optimization strategy with zero upfront fees
- You Save, We Share – You pay us a percentage of the documented savings we deliver
The Guarantee: If we don't reduce your IT costs, you pay nothing.
This performance-based pricing model aligns our interests completely with yours. We're motivated to find every possible saving because that's how we get paid.
Where We Find Savings
Cloud Cost Optimisation
Cloud waste is epidemic. We identify and eliminate:
- Over-provisioned resources – Right-sizing instances to match actual workload requirements
- Idle resources – Eliminating forgotten instances, unused storage, and orphaned snapshots
- Inefficient architecture – Optimising configurations for cost without sacrificing performance
- Unused reservations – Implementing reserved instances and savings plans for predictable workloads
- Storage waste – Moving data to appropriate tiers and eliminating unnecessary duplication
Average savings: 20-35% reduction in cloud spending
Our Cloud Centre of Excellence expertise spans Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform, ensuring comprehensive optimization across multi-cloud environments.

Where We Find Saving

Microsoft Licensing Optimisation
Microsoft licensing is complex, and most organisations overpay significantly. We deliver savings through:
- Transparent CSP pricing – Access to enterprise volume discounts without enterprise-scale commitments (8-13% savings on Microsoft 365, 8% on Azure)
- License right-sizing – Ensuring you're not paying for licenses you don't need or features you don't use
- Compliance optimization – Avoiding costly true-up fees and audit penalties
- Alternative licensing models – Identifying better-value licensing structures for your usage patterns
Through our Qwantro division, we provide transparent Microsoft licensing that eliminates traditional reseller margins whilst delivering enterprise pricing.
Average savings: 8-15% reduction in Microsoft licensing costs
Infrastructure Optimisation
Legacy infrastructure often costs more than modern alternatives whilst delivering less capability:
- Hardware refresh analysis – Determining whether cloud migration or hardware refresh delivers better ROI
- Virtualisation optimization – Right-sizing virtual environments and eliminating redundancy
- Energy efficiency – Reducing data centre power consumption through consolidation and efficiency improvements
- Maintenance contract review – Ensuring support contracts deliver value rather than unnecessary expense

Average savings: 15-25% reduction in infrastructure costs
Operational Efficiency
IT operational costs often hide significant waste:
- Process automation – Eliminating manual tasks that consume staff time
- Managed services optimization – Right-sizing support levels to actual requirements
- Tool consolidation – Eliminating redundant tools and optimising licensing
- Workflow optimization – Streamlining processes to reduce time and resource consumption

Average savings: 10-20% reduction in operational costs
Why Our Gainshare Model Works
Zero Financial Risk
Traditional consulting requires upfront investment with uncertain returns. Our gainshare model eliminates this risk entirely. You invest nothing upfront. If we don't deliver savings, you don't pay. Your only risk is the time invested in our assessment—and that's free.
Aligned Incentives
When consultants charge by the hour, they're incentivised to spend more time, not deliver better results. Our gainshare model means we only profit when you save money. We're motivated to find every possible efficiency because that's how we maximise our own return.
Proven Methodology
Our optimisation approach follows a rigorous methodology:
Discovery – Comprehensive analysis of current IT spending across all categories
Assessment – Identification of specific savings opportunities with quantified financial impact
Prioritisation – Focus on high-impact, low-risk optimizations first
Implementation – Execution of optimization strategy with minimal disruption
Measurement – Documentation of actual savings delivered with transparent reporting
Continuous Improvement – Ongoing monitoring and optimization to sustain savings
Transparent Reporting
You'll receive detailed documentation of every saving we deliver. Our reporting clearly shows:
- Baseline costs before optimization
- Specific changes implemented
- Resulting cost reductions
- Ongoing monitoring metrics
- Cumulative savings over time
This transparency ensures you understand exactly what you're paying for and can verify savings independently.

- Continuous monitoring of cloud spending
- Regular optimization reviews (quarterly)
- Proactive identification of new savings opportunities
- Performance reporting demonstrating sustained savings
- Adaptation to changing business requirements
This ensures the savings we deliver are sustained over time rather than gradually eroding.
