OPTIMIZATION & LICENSING ASSESSMENT

High-impact cloud cost clarity, at no cost to you.

Kickdrum’s complimentary assessment reveals how to reduce cloud and data center spend without compromising performance or scale.

WHAT TO EXPECT

If you're managing growing infrastructure costs across cloud or on-premises, Kickdrum can help. Our Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) evaluates how your resources are actually used, whether you're paying more than you need to, and if a migration would be worthwhile.

Delivered at no cost to you, this AWS-backed assessment provides a clear picture of your current environment and identifies cost-saving opportunities through rightsizing, licensing efficiency, and smarter workload placement.

Whether you're all-in on the cloud or running hybrid systems, we’ll show you how to optimize, and then guide you through your best path forward.

HOW IT WORKS

The OLA process is fast, focused, and fully guided by our senior cloud architects.

1. Discovery & Assessment - We collect data on compute, storage, licensing, and workload dependencies

2. Analysis & Modeling - Our experts model optimized deployment scenarios based on your actual resource usage and entitlements.

3. Recommendations & Roadmap - We deliver a tailored optimization report with actionable recommendations to reduce cost, improve efficiency, and align infrastructure with business goals.

WHAT YOU LEARN

Once the OLA is complete, you’ll have an actionable plan for:

Rightsized Resources: Identify the most efficient compute and storage mix

Licensing Savings: Reduce waste and explore flexible licensing paths
Migration Readiness: Gain a clear view of whether moving to AWS could unlock additional savings
Cost Efficiency: Improve license utilization by up to 60% and reduce infrastructure bloat

This assessment is complimentary and obligation-free. We’ll help you find savings and efficiency, then you decide what’s next.
