✓ What We Offer
What is FinOps?
FinOps is the practice of optimizing cloud costs through collaboration between Engineering, Finance, and Business. It’s not just about cutting costs – it’s about maximizing the value of your cloud investments.
Our Approach
Phase 1: Inform
We create transparency about your cloud spending. Who consumes what? Which workloads cost how much? Only when you understand where the money flows can you optimize.
Phase 2: Optimize
With the insights gained, we identify quick wins and long-term optimization potential:
- Shut down unused resources
- Right-size oversized instances
- Reserved Instances and Savings Plans
- Spot Instances for suitable workloads
Phase 3: Operate
FinOps is not a one-time action but a continuous process. We establish processes, dashboards, and alerts that empower your teams to act cost-consciously.
