FAQ
Common Questions
How much can we save on cloud costs in the first 60 days?
Most organisations identify 20–40% in immediate savings opportunities within 60 days. Our GCC clients have discovered $40K+/month in waste from unused resources, over-provisioned VMs and missed Reserved Instance opportunities. We show you exactly where the savings are before you commit to anything.
Does FinOps consulting cover both Azure and AWS?
Yes. We provide FinOps consulting for Azure and AWS environments, as well as multi-cloud cost governance across both. Our primary strength is Azure Cost Management and Reserved Instances, with AWS cost optimization delivered through the same FinOps Foundation framework.
What does a cloud cost assessment involve?
We connect to your Azure Cost Management or AWS Cost Explorer, analyse 90 days of spend data, and identify waste, untagged resources, over-provisioned compute, and reservation gaps. The output is a prioritised savings report with estimated impact per recommendation.
Can you help implement the savings, not just identify them?
Yes. We go beyond advisory — we implement right-sizing, configure Azure Policy for tagging, purchase and manage Reserved Instances, and set up Azure Cost Management dashboards. You get both the strategy and the execution.
