Cloud and SaaS cost optimization sits where licensing meets FinOps: matching subscription tiers and committed-use deals to real consumption, reclaiming dormant licences, and removing the overlap that builds up across Microsoft 365, Azure, SaaS apps and public cloud. The aim is a lower run-rate that holds, not a one-off clean-up.
