Do More With Less
Do More With Less
No organization these days is offering to expand IT Personnel and services. Instead, as times get harder, IT Managers are being asked to do more with fewer people and budgets. Basically they are being asked to use technology to get more out of their previous IT Spend.
Technology Can Help
Microsoft Azure can save organizations a lot of money on their yearly IT spend if they set up and manage their Azure environment correctly. Microsoft has written a set of Governance principles called the Cloud Adoption Framework, that dictates how organizations should best manage Azure services. Following these principles can provide cost accounting measures that can significantly lower spending on IT services.
Microsoft provides a huge number of Azure services in their subscription, and it is fairly easy for organizations to let Azure services get out of control. Fortunately, Microsoft provides blueprints, policies, compliance reporting, and automation to help manage and control expenditures.
Novastratus also provides professional training classes on Microsoft Azure, as well as offers Cloud Adoption Workshops where Novastratus will work with customers directly to apply the best governance and management to the customer’s Azure environment. The savings from the CAF program often are significantly more than the cost of the training or the workshop.
What Is A CAF Workshop?
Created by Microsoft, CAF workshops were designed to teach customers the proper way to manage and govern Azure deployments.
At Microsoft, there was a phrase called “Ready, Fire, Aim.” It represented a common occurrence where customers would get excited about technology and would pull the trigger on using it before they had taken the time to plan out how best to utilize it. The picture at the left is a great example of “Ready, Fire, Aim.”
With Microsoft Azure, “Ready, Fire, Aim” Can get you into a situation where you have orphaned resources, underutilized virtual machines, wrongly configured regions and services, and no policy control for expensive services.
