Intelligent Cloud Optimization at Work
As enterprise cloud costs grow in complexity and Microsoft Copilot adoption accelerates, visibility alone is not enough. The ability to act—intelligently and in real time—is what sets leaders apart. With Surveil 3.7.x, we take another step forward in helping organizations move from static reporting to continuous optimization.
This release delivers sharper insights and deeper flexibility across Azure, Microsoft 365, and Navigator—giving enterprises and their strategic partners the tools to reduce waste, improve governance, and drive measurable outcomes at scale.
