PACKAGED OFFER · CLOUD FINOPS QUICK WIN

Cloud FinOps Quick Win for cost visibility

Identify cloud spend that delivers no value, in four weeks, without touching your architecture. This fixed-scope engagement turns an oversized cloud bill into a shortlist of quantified savings opportunities. We analyse usage, surface idle and oversized resources, model commitment coverage and provide a prioritised action plan validated against your actual rates and baseline.

  • A spend and usage baseline mapped to teams and workloads
  • A costed waste and rightsizing report, each item with a dollar figure
  • A prioritised savings roadmap and a readout for finance and engineering
WHAT YOU GET

From a climbing bill to a defensible plan.

This is a direct route from "our cloud bill keeps climbing" to a defensible, CFO-ready plan, with savings opportunities validated before you act. Six concrete deliverables come out of the four weeks, each tied to a number you can take to finance.

DELIVERABLE 01

Spend and usage baseline

Across compute, storage, data transfer, and managed services, with cost mapped to teams and workloads.

DELIVERABLE 02

Waste and rightsizing report

Idle instances, overprovisioned resources, orphaned volumes, and stale environments, each with a dollar figure.

DELIVERABLE 03

Commitment strategy

Modelled savings-plan and reserved-capacity coverage sized to your real baseline, not vendor defaults.

DELIVERABLE 04

Tagging gap analysis

A tagging and accountability gap analysis, so future spend is attributable and unit cost becomes visible.

DELIVERABLE 05

Prioritised savings roadmap

Quick wins you can action in-week, plus the structural moves worth planning for later.

DELIVERABLE 06

Finance and engineering readout

A joint readout that turns the numbers into decisions both teams can own.

Send us read access. We return four weeks later with quantified savings opportunities you can defend.

WHO IT IS FOR

Organisations whose cloud spend has outgrown its oversight.

For platform leaders under pressure to cut run-rate, finance teams that cannot explain the bill, and engineering groups that suspect waste but lack the time to hunt it down.

If you are on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and your bill has never had a structured review, this engagement establishes the evidence for a savings decision. It is the on-ramp to durable cost discipline through our FinOps and Cloud Optimisation practices.

THE FOUR WEEKS

Four weeks, four outputs, one costed plan.

WEEK 1

Baseline

Access, baseline, and tagging audit, producing a spend map by team and workload.

WEEK 2

Waste

Waste and rightsizing analysis, producing a costed waste report.

WEEK 3

Model

Commitment and unit-cost modelling, producing a coverage and savings model.

WEEK 4

Roadmap

Roadmap, validation, and readout, producing a prioritised savings plan.

Each week produces a working output, so the savings picture sharpens from week one.
