Power Automate Consulting Cost UK: What Should You Pay?

Power Automate consulting is sold by the day, quoted by the project and almost never explained. This guide prices one realistic 42-day engagement for a 140-person UK firm five different ways, from an in-house developer at an effective £403.71 a day to a published partner block at £1,240 — a 3.07x spread on identical work. It reverse-engineers the gross margin inside a packaged consultancy day, shows the cost of every delivered flow at four complexity tiers, sets out the 131.5-day crossover where hiring beats contracting, and finishes with a payback table in which the cheapest-looking way to buy is the only one that never pays back at all.

Azure Migration Cost UK: A Realistic Budget for SMEs

Azure migration cost is the number every UK business owner asks for first and almost nobody publishes honestly. This guide builds it from the bottom up for a real 48-person estate — fourteen machines priced from Microsoft’s own UK South rates in pounds, the burstable size that cannot be reserved, the Windows tax reservations never touch, the eight-core minimum that decides where your licences are worth 47 times more, the platform floor that turns out to be half the invoice, the egress scare story that costs £217 a year, four ways to buy the project at twice the price spread, and the single staffing assumption that decides whether moving is worth it at all.

Cloud Cost Allocation: Essential SME Guide to Stop Waste

Cloud cost allocation is the discipline of attributing every pound of your cloud bill to the team, product or customer that caused it. Without it, a monthly invoice is a single number that nobody owns and nobody can act on. This guide covers what allocation means in practice, why tagging standards fail, how showback differs from chargeback, how to split shared costs fairly, which native tools do the work on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, what the exercise costs to run, and a realistic 90-day rollout for a business with no dedicated FinOps team.
