Cloud Cost Optimisation

Cloud bills grow quietly: resources nobody owns, capacity sized for a peak that never came, and architectures that pay for servers to sit idle. We review where the money goes, remove what buys nothing, and put tagging, budgets and alerts in place so the savings hold.

Talk to us about this

Who it is for

Organisations whose cloud bill has grown faster than their business, and finance and technology leaders who want spend they can attribute and predict.

What is included

  • Spend analysis by service, environment and owner
  • Idle, orphaned and oversized resources
  • Pricing models: commitments, savings plans and storage tiers
  • Architecture changes that cut running cost, such as serverless and pay-per-request services
  • Tagging for cost attribution, budgets and anomaly alerts

What you get

  • A ranked savings plan with the effort and risk of each change
  • Changes implemented, where you want us to
  • Budgets and alerts that flag overspend early
