In the SaaS era, especially in the B2B segment, the business’s profitability will vary from customer to customer. It is usual to observe that there would be a few “expensive customers” who use the platform heavily, which could also mean they are profitable customers. But we cannot take plain guesses! As a business, ensuring that the revenue we receive from each customer is appropriate for what it costs us to deliver the value is significant.

One of the fundamental promises of the cloud, when organizations embrace it, is significant cost savings compared to its on-premises costs. However, organizations to realize savings is required to proactively plan and monitor the application’s cost at a granular level. Azure cost anomaly detection involves promptly identifying, rectifying, and analysing unexpected Azure cost events to minimize their impact on the business.

The scalability of the cloud and its inherent variable cost has created financial and operational challenges, which demand the process of tracking varying costs in the dynamic Azure infrastructure at a granular business context level. Unit economics is a process of profit maximization in the cloud based on objective measurements like cost per product. This approach assesses how the organization is performing against its business goals.
