For many organisations, cloud and legacy environments continue to run in parallel. This makes it harder to understand total cost of ownership, track migration impact and create accountability across departments. This was the challenge facing a global petrochem enterprise operating a complex Microsoft Azure environment with an average monthly cloud spend of **$900K**. As the organisation expanded its cloud environment, it needed clearer visibility, stronger governance and better cost accountability across both cloud and on-premise infrastructure. Key challenges included limited visibility, inconsistent tagging, no chargeback/showback capability, limited anomaly detection and no clear cloud vs legacy TCO comparison. # What our client achieved with OneView and 1Nebula → Full visibility across cloud and on-premise spend → Improved FinOps maturity and governance → Greater department-level accountability → Standardised tagging for accurate cost allocation → Proactive anomaly detection and alerts → Structured tracking of potential vs realised savings → Better data-driven decisions for cloud migration and expansion [DOWNLOAD THE FULL CASE STUDY](https://www.1nebula.com/hubfs/OV_0055_Sasol%20Case%20Study.pdf) #### Top posts [![](https://www.1nebula.com/hubfs/ON_0064_SOC2_V1.png)](https://www.1nebula.com/blog/1nebula-soc-2-type-ii-attestation/) ##### [1Nebula Achieves SOC 2 Type II Attestation](https://www.1nebula.com/blog/1nebula-soc-2-type-ii-attestation/) 1Nebula is proud to announce that it has achieved **SOC 2 Type II...** [![](https://www.1nebula.com/hubfs/1Nebula_Why_Every_Team_Needs_a_Fourth_Question_V1.png)](https://www.1nebula.com/blog/why-every-team-needs-a-fourth-question) ##### [Why Every Team Needs a Fourth Question](https://www.1nebula.com/blog/why-every-team-needs-a-fourth-question) “Stop, Start, Continue” has run team retrospectives for a decade....
