Every single line item made sense at the time. A service here, a licence there, a test environment nobody ever switched off. Today there is a monthly total nobody in your company can fully explain. Nobody likes answering “do we still need this?”, because the risk of switching off the wrong thing feels bigger than the saving. So everything keeps running. And every new customer you win makes it grow – faster than the margin that customer brings.
What to do about it
Cutting costs does not mean cutting capability. Most of it almost always sits in capacity sized for an emergency that never happened, and in services whose price rises with your growth while their value does not. You need to know which ones those are before you save anywhere.
We put what you pay next to what you actually need, and cost out both options – including the one running on our servers in Switzerland. Swiss hosting is often not the expensive route but the cheaper one, with data that never leaves the country. We handle the migration and the operation; ideally your team notices nothing.
Show us your current setup. We will tell you honestly how much slack is in it – and if there is none, we will say that too.
