Our Technology

At Strategic Blue, our technology is working for you. We have carefully designed our technological infrastructure so that it provides invaluable insights to you that will help you advance and improve your cloud usage and procurement. To help you succeed and grow, we can provide with you powerful insights into your cloud environments so that you can accurately forecast and make commitments for all future usage. 

Custom-built software that will optimise your cloud costs!

Even though the benefits of cloud are easy to realise, the nature of cloud utilisation can result in uncontrollable cloud costs that will require an utterly new approach to optimise and manage spending. Strategic Blue understands that there is no cookie-cutter approach to cloud cost control. Just as every business we work with is different, so must be the services we provide to them. For this reason, we use unique and custom-built software that allows us review, analyse, and predict your cloud environment. With these insights, we then create bespoke purchasing terms which create a balance between available price savings and the level of commitment needed. By doing this, we truly tailor our services to each individual client. Our Financial Solution Experts carefully take the time to get to know each business, their goals, price points, and cloud demands so that we ensure that all of your needs are met while still optimising cloud cost. 

Our custom software will allow us to…

  • Identify areas where you are waste spending so that we can help you eliminate waste and terminate any idle resources. 
  • Realise instant savings in cloud and operating costs by deploying the right resources at best cost.
  • Design automated waster prevention to save money and further eliminate waste.
  • Provide real-time insights so we can collaborate with you to reduce cloud costs going forward.
  • Utilise tagging as a means of ongoing cost management.
  • Prevent or eliminate budget overruns by billing previews and adjustments.
