Cloud Optimization: Cut Costs, Speed Up and Take Back Control

Is Your Cloud Setup Working for You - or Against You?

If your cloud systems are running slow, eating up budget or just feel overly complicated, you're not imagining it. Studies show that 30% of cloud spend is wasted - often from unused resources, poor configurations or services you don't even realize are running.

At Fraser, we help you take back control. With a smarter approach to cloud optimization - built for different environments (public, private or hybrid) and guided by real people who know your industry - we help you make your cloud faster, leaner and more secure.

What Is Cloud Optimization?

Cloud optimization is the process of right-sizing, streamlining and securing your cloud environment so you're only paying for what you truly need - while improving how everything runs.

Unlike other providers who push you to "rip and replace," Fraser works within your existing setup - especially if you use Azure, Microsoft 365 or hybrid infrastructure.

Core Areas We Focus On

• Resource Efficiency: Eliminate idle assets and over-provisioned services.
• Cost Management: Use automation to detect and remove waste.
• Performance Tuning: Improve speed and reliability for apps and users.
• Security Hardening: Close configuration gaps and reduce vulnerabilities.
• Ongoing Automation: Keep your cloud optimized without manual effort.

Why Cloud Optimization Matters

Every business relies on the cloud - but few are using it efficiently. Here's what cloud optimization can do for your operations.

• Cut Waste: Most businesses save 20-40% on cloud costs.
• Improve Speed: Reduce lag time and boost app responsiveness.
• Scale Confidently: Handle growth and traffic spikes without overspending.
• Free Up IT Staff: Automate routine tasks and reduce firefighting.
• Strengthen Security: Patch weak points and enforce cloud best practices.

Real-World Example

A national e-commerce brand cut its cloud bill by 30% and cut site load times in half - resulting in better conversions and fewer support tickets.

What a Cloud Optimization Assessment Reveals

A cloud assessment is your first step. It gives you a clear snapshot of how your cloud environment is performing today and identifies opportunities for improvement.

• Hidden costs and unused services
• Performance bottlenecks
• Security risks or misconfigurations
• Opportunities to automate and scale

This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach - your assessment is tailored to your business goals and existing environment.

Your Cloud Optimization Roadmap

Optimization is a journey, not a single task. Here's what the process typically looks like.

Choosing the Right Cloud Optimization Partner

The success of your cloud optimization effort often comes down to one thing: the partner you choose to guide the process.

The right partner will do more than just help you cut costs - they'll make sure your cloud is aligned with your goals, secure by design and built to scale as you grow.

What to Look For in a Cloud Optimization Partner

• Proven Multi-Cloud Experience: Look for a team with hands-on expertise across environments like Azure, AWS and hybrid setups.
• Tool-Backed Insight: Do they use modern monitoring, automation and cost-analysis tools - or just spreadsheets?
• Strategic, Not Just Technical: Your partner should align optimization to business goals, not just technical metrics.
• Security and Compliance Awareness: Especially important in regulated industries like healthcare, finance or education.
• Ongoing Support and Improvement: Cloud optimization isn't a one-time fix - it's an ongoing process. Make sure they stick around.

Key Questions to Ask:

1. How do you balance cost savings with performance and security?
2. What platforms and environments do you specialize in?
3. Can you show real-world results from similar businesses?
4. What happens after the initial optimization is complete?
