About This Webinar
Most housing associations moved to Microsoft 365 and Azure to reduce costs and improve flexibility. But without regular monitoring, cloud environments quietly accumulate waste: unused licences still being paid for, over-provisioned resources running around the clock, and tools your teams are paying for but never using.
The problem isn't the technology. It's that nobody is watching where the money goes. And when budgets are tight, every pound spent on cloud services that aren't earning their keep is a pound taken away from frontline services.
This session cuts through the noise around cloud optimisation. Dan Reese, Cloud Solutions Specialist at TSG, will walk through where spend typically leaks across M365 and Azure environments, what optimisation looks like when it's done properly, and how to reduce costs without losing the capability your teams rely on.
