Cutting Azure cloud costs by 24% for a Healthcare provider with a holistic FinOps model

Stronger financial governance with a future-ready Azure framework.

Customer

A rapidly expanding healthcare provider facing uncontrolled growth in cloud spend.

Challenge

In just 12 months, the client’s Azure spend doubled without corresponding business growth. The lack of financial oversight, right-sizing, and cost-saving measures left the organization exposed to unsustainable cloud costs. Limited visibility, absence of a formal FinOps practice, and inefficient architecture further strained their margins.

Our Approach

cloudrho applied a three-step FinOps model: a diagnostic assessment, architecture optimization, and pricing strategy refinement. A two-week diagnostic identified 15–20% potential savings and produced a clear roadmap. We right-sized compute and storage, optimized workloads, and addressed architectural inefficiencies.  Finally, we renegotiated Azure pricing and CSP models to ensure both immediate and sustained cost efficiency.
