Cloud FinOps & optimisation
Explain what drives the cloud bill and identify changes that reduce waste while protecting service performance and availability.
Connect cloud spend to useful output.
We identify cost drivers, establish tagging and allocation, and assess rightsizing, scheduling and purchasing options. Recommendations consider utilisation, availability and performance requirements. Savings are measured against an agreed comparable baseline, with ongoing reporting to distinguish genuine efficiency from reduced demand.
We reconcile billing data with workloads, owners and utilisation patterns. Recommendations are prioritised by operational risk and effort, then checked against a comparable usage baseline after implementation.

Consolidating cloud cost reviews
Consistent allocation and automated usage reports reduce spreadsheet preparation.
Assume 20 instances per month, with average time reduced from 180 to 90 minutes per instance.
Less time per instance
Monthly capacity released
Assumed time before and after
Measure: Human handling time, including validation and exceptions; validate quality and total operating costs.
Calculation: (180 − 90) ÷ 180 × 100 = 50%; 20 × (180 − 90) ÷ 60 = 30 hours. Figures rounded where needed.
Illustrative assumptions, not a client result, forecast or guarantee. Validate the baseline and outcome in your own environment. Capacity released does not equal cash savings; account for quality, utilisation, implementation, software and ongoing support costs.
A clearer starting point.
How do you separate efficiency from a fall in usage?
Compare cost per relevant unit, such as a transaction or workload run, alongside service quality. A lower bill caused by less activity is different from delivering the same work more efficiently.
