Cloud Cost Optimization Consulting
Reduce AWS, Azure, and GCP spending by 40-70% while maintaining performance. Expert FinOps strategies for sustainable cloud economics.
Cloud Bills Spiraling Out of Control?
Most companies waste 30-50% of their cloud spend on unused resources and inefficient architectures
💸 Unexpected Bills
Cloud costs increase 20%+ yearly despite stable usage. Surprise bills wreck budgets.
🔍 No Visibility
Can't attribute costs to teams, projects, or customers. Impossible to optimize what you can't measure.
⚙️ Overprovisioned Resources
Development environments running 24/7, idle databases, oversized instances—waste everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I really save?
Typical savings: 40-60% for unoptimized accounts. Quick wins (waste removal, rightsizing): 20-30% in first month. Reserved capacity adds another 30-40% for predictable workloads. Total savings depend on current optimization level.
Will optimization hurt performance?
No. We analyze actual utilization metrics and maintain performance headroom. Rightsizing is based on real usage data, not guesswork. Load testing validates changes before production rollout.
What about Reserved Instances risk?
We model commitments conservatively using 6-12 months of historical data. Start with 1-year terms, not 3-year. Use Savings Plans (flexible) over RIs (rigid) where possible. ROI typically pays back in 4-6 months even with conservative approach.
How do you charge for cost optimization?
Fixed project fee for initial audit and quick wins implementation. Optional: performance-based fee (percentage of savings) for ongoing optimization. Either way, you see positive ROI within 30 days.
