OVERVIEW

Attack the Hard Problems Behind Cloud Waste

‍Cost Optimization helps technology leaders reduce infrastructure and tooling spend through architectural changes that deliver real, sustained savings. We go beyond surface-level recommendations to execute the complex work that drives impact—replatforming inefficient workloads, consolidating redundant tools, and rearchitecting for efficiency at scale.

How

‍We embed directly with your teams to assess spend patterns, design optimization roadmaps, and execute the technical work required to reduce costs without sacrificing performance. Our engineers bring proven playbooks from hundreds of cost optimization programs—ensuring you capture savings through actual infrastructure changes, not just policy adjustments.

Why It Matters

‍Whether you need strategic assessment to identify waste, delivery support for cost-intensive re-platforming projects, or ongoing operations to continuously optimize as you scale, our approach combines deep technical expertise with financial governance to deliver measurable outcomes.

Cloud Cost Assessment & Roadmap
Analyze spending patterns across AWS, Azure, and GCP to identify optimization opportunities. We deliver prioritized roadmaps that distinguish quick wins from complex re-architecture work—with clear ROI estimates for each initiative.
Cloud Cost Assessment & Roadmap
Infrastructure Re-Platforming & Re-Architecture
Execute the technical work other firms avoid—migrating workloads to more cost-effective platforms, refactoring applications to use serverless or containers, and eliminating architectural inefficiencies that drive ongoing waste.
Infrastructure Re-Platforming & Re-Architecture
Tool Consolidation & Rationalization
Identify and eliminate redundant monitoring, security, and operational tools. We consolidate platforms like Datadog, observability stacks, and SaaS tools—typically recovering millions annually while improving functionality.
Tool Consolidation & Rationalization
FinOps Framework & Governance Implementation
Establish tagging standards, cost allocation models, and automated governance controls. We build the visibility and accountability frameworks that enable teams to make cost-conscious decisions without slowing delivery.

FAQ

Common Questions

See All FAQs
"How is this different from just using AWS Cost Explorer or other native tools?"

Native tools show you the problem. We execute the solution. Most cost reduction requires re-platforming, re-architecting, or tool consolidation—technical work that takes engineering expertise, not just cost visibility. We do both the analysis and the implementation.

"What's the difference between FinOps and what you do?"

FinOps provides frameworks and visibility. We implement those frameworks AND execute the hard technical work that actually reduces spend—re-platforming legacy systems, consolidating tools, and rearchitecting for efficiency. Many firms stop at recommendations; we deliver the savings.

"Will cost optimization impact performance or reliability?"

No. We design optimizations that maintain or improve performance. Every change includes testing, gradual rollout, and monitoring to ensure SLAs are preserved. Cost reduction through degraded service isn't optimization—it's just cutting corners.

"How quickly can we see results?"

Quick wins (rightsizing, commitment optimization, orphaned resource cleanup) deliver savings in weeks. Larger initiatives (re-platforming, re-architecture) take 3-6 months but deliver sustained, compounding savings. We sequence work to show early wins while executing complex changes.
