Cut costs without the hassle. Start small, see results fast.
We help you spot the quick wins, act fast and reinvest in what matters.
Cloud costs are rising fast. Many companies are facing bigger bills each year, often for services they aren’t fully using. It’s easy to sign long-term contracts with cloud providers but when prices go up or your usage changes it can be tough to adjust or switch providers.
And here’s the thing: you don’t have to go through a huge transformation to start cutting costs. Sometimes all it takes is small changes that make a big difference.
A real-world example
One of our customers was spending around £500,000 a year on cloud infrastructure. Around £250,000 of that was tied up in cloud storage for VMs alone. They thought their setup was fine until the time came to renew their contract and they were stuck with a big bill and no clear way to reduce it.
We introduced them to a simple tool that analyses cloud storage usage. It uses AI to help right-size VM storage resources, adjusting them dynamically to better match actual needs rather than overpaying for unused capacity.
On the initial review they identified £75,000 of annual savings from a small tweak – that’s 30% of their total cloud storage bill and 15% of their total annual cloud cost.
Upon further evaluation, the storage redress saved 45% of their storage consumption – an impressive £115,000 in year one.
That £115,000 saving was 23% of their total cloud bill – quickly, efficiently and with very light management required.
There’s more to come as they review their compute and CPU.
What Happened Next
With that saving, they could reinvest in new tools, to help with more than just storage. We introduced tools like IBM Turbonomic, Apptio and Lucidity, which helped them optimise CPU, memory and other resources that were previously over-provisioned.
The best part? These tools were purchased through their existing cloud marketplace, so they counted toward their usage commitment resulting in no additional spend, just smarter management.
By the end of the project, they were saving money and in a better position to negotiate their next contract.
What started as a small change had a big impact on their overall cloud strategy.
Action Drives Results
It’s easy to get lost in dashboards and reports that tell you where things are going wrong, but real savings come from action. That’s where Recarta comes in.
We help you turn insights into real savings by making smart, simple changes to improve how your cloud resources are used. Whether it’s shrinking over-provisioned storage, automating processes or simply adjusting policies to avoid wasting resources, we focus on what delivers the most value.
Big Changes Start Small
Once you’ve made a few quick changes and started seeing results, you’ll have more space to think about the bigger picture. Those early savings can be reinvested into longer-term strategies like automation, AI or improving your overall cloud and on-prem management.
Cloud can go from being a cost centre to a key part of your business strategy. But it doesn’t happen overnight.
It starts with making smart decisions now.
