# FinOps & Cloud Cost Management

Make every euro of cloud spend count. We find the waste, optimise the architecture, and build the financial discipline that keeps cloud costs predictable.

What we offer

## Cloud spend under control

Cloud promises flexibility, but without proper governance, costs spiral quickly. Unused
resources, over-provisioned instances, missing savings plans, and poor tagging hygiene can
easily add 30–50% to your cloud bill.

We implement the FinOps framework: bringing together engineering, finance, and business to make
real-time, data-driven decisions about cloud spending. The result is full cost visibility,
accountable teams, and optimised architecture.

Our engagements typically deliver 20–40% cloud cost savings in the first 90 days — and build
the processes to keep costs optimised as you scale.

### Cost visibility & allocation

Tagging strategy, cost allocation by team/product, and dashboards so every team
owns their spend.

### Waste elimination

Idle resources, orphaned storage, over-provisioned instances — we find and eliminate
waste across your entire cloud estate.

### Reserved instances & savings plans

Commitment-based discounts analysis and purchasing strategy to cut on-demand costs
by up to 60%.

### Architecture optimisation

Right-sizing compute, switching to spot/preemptible instances, and storage tier
optimisation for long-term savings.

How we work

## Savings in 90 days

We follow the FinOps framework's inform → optimise → operate cycle. First you see the full
picture, then we optimise, then we build lasting processes.

1

### Cost audit (week 1–2)

Full analysis of your current cloud spend: where the money goes, largest cost
drivers, and quick-win opportunities.

2

### Quick wins (week 3–4)

Immediate actions: shut down unused resources, fix storage tiers, apply reserved
instance commitments. Savings visible within 30 days.

3

### Structural optimisation (month 2–3)

Architecture changes, auto-scaling tuning, spot instance adoption, and savings plan
strategy for sustained reduction.

4

### FinOps governance setup

Cost dashboards, budget alerts, tagging policies, and a monthly review cadence so
savings are maintained as you grow.

Case study

## 35% cloud cost reduction for a scale-up

A SaaS company was spending €45k/month on AWS with no cost visibility. Teams had no idea which
services cost what. We implemented a tagging strategy, migrated stateless workloads to spot
instances, right-sized 60 EC2 instances, and introduced reserved instance commitments.

Result: monthly spend dropped to €29k — a 35% reduction — with no performance degradation. The
company reinvested the savings into product development.

✓ 35% cost reduction
✓ €16k/month saved
✓ Full cost visibility
✓ No performance impact
