Overview
The Cost Optimisation service helps councils and public organisations review, benchmark, and optimise their IT spending to achieve measurable savings and improved financial governance. Symphony3 works closely with finance and technology teams to identify redundant systems, optimise licensing, and negotiate better vendor terms — ensuring every dollar invested in technology delivers tangible community value.
Using a structured assessment framework, Symphony3 benchmarks your technology costs against industry peers and develops a prioritised roadmap for sustainable savings. Typical engagements identify 10–20% cost reductions while improving visibility across software, cloud, and service providers.
The service leverages AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, AWS Trusted Advisor, and AWS Compute Optimizer to track, analyse, and forecast cloud spending. Combined with SmartGlue , Symphony3’s AWS-powered integration platform, the service unifies cost and usage data from multiple sources, giving councils a single, transparent view of their IT expenditure and enabling smarter, evidence-based financial decisions.
