One costed view of a $7.5M cloud estate that 36 subscriptions had kept invisible
A private-equity-owned enterprise SaaS company (~$70M+ ARR, several hundred employees, operations across Europe and North America) running its platform on Microsoft Azure — with a sovereign-cloud migration assessment on the roadmap.

Why finance & insurance
Ownership and regulation both turn cloud spend into a board-level line item.
Private-equity portfolio companies inherit gross-margin and infrastructure-efficiency targets set at the fund level. Regulated financial institutions inherit audit trails and data-residency requirements on top. Either way, the blocker is the same: nobody has one costed view of the estate to work from. Jetscale connects read-only across every subscription — however many years of growth and M&A created them — and turns that view into ranked, dollar-quantified recommendations.
Key metrics
The numbers at a glance.
The challenge
36 subscriptions, no single owner, no portfolio-level answer.
Under private-equity ownership, gross margin and infrastructure efficiency carry board-level targets — but the company's ~$7.5M annual Azure spend was scattered across 36 subscriptions accumulated through years of product and team growth. No single team owned the estate end-to-end, and subscription-by-subscription billing made portfolio-level questions ("what does this product line actually cost to run?") effectively unanswerable. Parallel to cost work, leadership needed a fact base for a sovereign-cloud migration assessment.
What Jetscale AI did
One integration, a unified estate, two board deliverables.
Connected all 36 Azure subscriptions read-only in weeks — including Visual Studio, departmental, and environment-specific subscriptions that had never been centrally visible.
Discovered and costed 1,489 resources, with daily billing-line ingestion building the first unified spend baseline across the estate.
First-slice analysis surfaced immediate savings recommendations while ingestion continued to ramp toward full coverage.
Delivered a database-estate deep-dive (hundreds of Azure SQL databases across three core subscriptions) and a sovereign-cloud migration assessment from the same discovery data — one integration, two board deliverables.
Results overview
From invisible to unified, in under a month.
Results in details
What the fund and the board got out of it.
First-ever unified, costed view of the full Azure estate — the prerequisite for every margin conversation that follows.
~$200K per year in savings realized to date — 20%+ of the spend analyzed so far, across 560+ prioritized recommendations, with the majority of the $7.5M estate still to be covered as ingestion ramps.
Migration fact base at zero incremental effort: the sovereign-cloud assessment reused the same resource inventory — no second discovery project.
Engagement live and expanding; benchmark expectation for estates of this profile is 20–30% recoverable spend.
