Save 20% on your Azure costs and a secure score of 80%: This is how Bizure does it.

Azure offers organizations scalability, flexibility, and access to a wide range of services. Nevertheless, many organizations see their costs rising unnoticed. Not due to major errors, but due to minor inefficiencies such as oversized VMs, unnecessarily active resources and a lack of insight into consumption. Bizure helps customers to get a structural grip on this, with an approach that combines cost savings with performance, safety and peace of mind in the operation.

About Bizure

Bizure is a specialist in proactive management of Azure, data environments and Microsoft 365, with a focus on security, cost control, quality and continuity. We do this on the basis of an eXperience Level Agreement (XLA). As a Cloud Competence Center and certified CSP partner In addition to management, Bizure also offers advice, optimization and guidance in compliance processes such as ISO and DORA.

Lack of insight leads to unnecessary costs

Marco van der Steijle, Operational Director at Bizure:
“Many IT departments lack insight into their Azure consumption,” says Marco van der Steijle, Operational Director at Bizure.

“That's why we always start with an analysis: what's running, what does it cost, and is it necessary? Then we optimize: from scaling down excess capacity to using reservations and streamlining licenses. This way, we save an average of 20%, without sacrificing performance or safety.”

Without this approach, costs will accrue unnoticed and excess capacity will remain. This puts pressure on IT budgets and prevents organizations from using cloud technology strategically and in a future-oriented way.

XLA Management: From Reactive to Proactive

Marco:
“A lot of cloud management is ad hoc: something happens and then you fix it. We're turning that around. With proactive management, we look ahead, identify risks early and work structurally to improve. Think of structural analyses for security, costs and quality. Tickets are part of the game, but the real difference lies in what we do before anything goes wrong.”

Traditional management approaches often involve acting reactively and focusing on uptime. Bizure breaks that status quo with XLA-driven management focused on added value. We focus on five axes: security, quality, cost control, resilience and 'no hassle'. The latter stands for peace of mind in the operation: no surprises or endless follow-up. Just well arranged. Our services are rated by customers with an average rating of 8.6.

A secure score of 80% or higher

In addition to costs and performance, security is an essential pillar in Bizure's cloud management. Through analyses and targeted actions, Bizure helps customers to structurally increase their Microsoft Secure Score. Microsoft has an average secure score of 60-65%. At Bizure, we go one step further. This is because we use a structural secure score of 80% or higher.

Marco:
“Security is not a snapshot. We continuously monitor, advise on areas for improvement and help with implementation. Our goal is a secure score of at least 80%, and that works for most customers. This reduces risks and increases trust in your cloud environment.”
