EtherInsights is now generally available worldwide. The AI-powered platform gives organisations a single view across their Microsoft 365 and Azure estates, identifies cost-saving opportunities, and translates them into prioritised optimisation actions. ESG insights are built into the same workflow, so cost and carbon decisions inform each other instead of competing.
Addressing the silent drain on cloud budgets
Inefficient storage and compute resources inflate cloud bills without anyone noticing. EtherInsights uses AI to analyse consumption patterns across blob storage, managed disks, snapshots, and compute, surfacing the idle and redundant resources that have been running quietly for months. Granular breakdowns and trend analytics let IT teams reclaim capacity, reallocate budget, and redirect savings into strategic work.
Key capabilities
- Microsoft 365 licence intelligence, identifying unused or under-utilised licences and reviewing inactive users and roles.
- Storage-centric cost analysis, drilling into storage use and the costs behind it.
- Azure resource cleanup, quantifying waste from idle virtual machines, orphaned public IP addresses, unattached managed disks, and other resource leakages, with step-by-step guidance to reclaim capacity.
- Managed device insights, tracking fleets of Windows, Windows 365 Cloud PCs, macOS, and Android devices, assessing Windows 11 upgradability, highlighting unsupported hardware, and monitoring Cloud PC usage.
- Billing trend analytics, visualising fluctuations, spikes, dips, and anomalies in spend.
- EtherAssist integration, the AI technical assistant for IT professionals, native inside EtherInsights for guided optimisation, configuration, and support questions.
- ESG reporting, including initial CO₂-equivalent insights for Microsoft 365 usage. Expanded sustainability dashboards are scheduled in upcoming releases.
EtherInsights gives organisations in the SME and mid-market a bird's-eye view of their Microsoft 365 and Azure estates, so they can optimise costs, streamline operations, and strengthen ESG performance. Our roadmap will widen support for more services and capabilities across the Microsoft cloud ecosystem over the coming weeks and months.

Rapid ROI and seamless integration
Customers can expect measurable cost savings within four weeks of deployment. EtherInsights is delivered as a subscription-based service, integrates into daily IT workflows, and supports continuous optimisation rather than one-off audits. It is available through EfficientEther's global network of channel partners for local expertise and support, with options to procure via the Azure Marketplace or direct subscription.
What is next
EtherInsights is available worldwide from 16 May 2025. The roadmap includes Azure AKS cluster support for Kubernetes optimisation, deeper LLM integration, Windows 365 cost and utilisation features, and expanded ESG reporting.
