WEI's structured Inform-Optimize-Operate framework delivers actionable AWS cost savings, allocation clarity, and a phased FinOps roadmap for organizations managing complex multi-account environments.
Overview
WEI's AWS FinOps & Cost Optimization Accelerator helps organizations improve cloud cost visibility, reduce waste, and build a practical framework for ongoing financial accountability in AWS. Engagements typically run several weeks from discovery through executive readout, with timeline depending on engagement scope.
Why WEI
WEI's certified AWS cloud architects and FinOps practitioners bring a structured Inform-Optimize-Operate methodology that moves beyond generic recommendations. The engagement produces prioritized, implementation-ready findings - not just a list of suggestions - so your team can act immediately on the highest-value savings opportunities.
Engagement Framework
WEI assesses your environment across three domains aligned to FinOps best practices:
Inform - Review AWS spend, usage patterns, tagging hygiene, cost allocation methods, reporting maturity, and stakeholder visibility into cloud costs.
Optimize - Identify savings opportunities using AWS-native tools such as AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Cost and Usage Reports, AWS Compute Optimizer, AWS Budgets, AWS Savings Plans, and AWS Trusted Advisor. Analysis covers rightsizing, Reserved Instance and Savings Plans coverage, idle resource cleanup, storage lifecycle optimization, and architectural cost drivers.
Operate - Deliver recommendations for KPI reporting, budgeting and forecasting, tagging governance, showback and chargeback readiness, and a practical operating model for sustained FinOps maturity.
Who This Is For
This engagement is designed for organizations that are:
- Experiencing unexpected AWS cost growth across multi-account environments
- Preparing for annual budget planning and need accurate cloud forecasts
- Building or maturing a FinOps practice with cross-functional accountability
- Consolidating accounts post-migration or post-acquisition and need cost clarity
- Managing monthly AWS spend that has outpaced internal visibility and governance
Deliverables
The engagement includes discovery interviews, cost and usage analysis, prioritized findings, and an executive readout. Specific deliverables include:
- Current-state assessment of cost visibility, allocation, and governance
- Savings opportunities register with prioritized recommendations
- Cost allocation and tagging recommendations
- KPI guidance for ongoing measurement
- Phased optimization roadmap with short-term wins and long-term maturity goals
Data Handling and Access
WEI performs analysis using read-only access to AWS cost and usage data within your environment. Engagement teams operate under NDA and follow least-privilege access principles. No customer data is exported or retained beyond the engagement period unless explicitly agreed upon. Access permissions are scoped to cost management services and removed at engagement completion.
Getting Started
Engagement timelines vary depending on scope. To begin, request a private offer through this AWS Marketplace listing or contact WEI to schedule a 30-minute scoping call to define engagement parameters, required access, and timeline.
Highlights
- WEI's Inform-Optimize-Operate framework assesses AWS cost visibility, tagging hygiene, allocation accuracy, governance maturity, and stakeholder alignment across accounts and teams - delivering a current-state assessment that pinpoints exactly where spend lacks accountability. Engagements span several weeks depending on scope, with a dedicated WEI engagement lead and certified AWS architects guiding discovery through executive readout.
- Identify and prioritize concrete savings opportunities through rightsizing analysis, Savings Plans and Reserved Instance coverage gaps, idle resource cleanup, storage lifecycle optimization, and architecture cost drivers using AWS Cost Explorer, Compute Optimizer, and Trusted Advisor. Findings are delivered in a prioritized savings register ranked by effort and impact so your team can act immediately on quick wins.
- Receive a phased FinOps roadmap covering KPI frameworks, budget forecasting models, showback and chargeback foundations, tagging governance policies, and sustained optimization practices. WEI's roadmap distinguishes short-term savings actions from long-term maturity milestones, giving leadership a clear investment case and implementation sequence for ongoing cloud financial management.
