FinOps & Cost Optimization

Several Clouds helps organizations control AWS spend, improve cloud financial accountability, and build a sustainable FinOps operating model. We combine AWS cost optimization, rate and usage analysis, forecasting, allocation, architecture reviews, and continuous reporting so cloud cost management becomes an ongoing practice, not a one-time audit.

Our FinOps approach connects engineering, finance, product, and leadership around the same goal: understand what drives AWS spend, optimize where it matters, forecast with confidence, and connect cloud investment to business outcomes.

What you get

• Cost visibility and allocation: clear AWS spend breakdown by account, workload, team, project, customer, environment, product, or business unit.
• Usage optimization: identification and prioritization of underutilized, oversized, idle, misconfigured, or inefficient resources across compute, storage, databases, networking, and managed services.
• Rate optimization: Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, Spot, Enterprise Discount Program opportunities, commitment management, and commercial recommendations where applicable.
• Forecasting and budget control: spend trends, variance analysis, anomaly detection, budget tracking, and forward-looking projections so finance and engineering teams can plan with confidence.
• Architecture for cost efficiency: design reviews, service selection, scaling strategy, modernization opportunities, and trade-off analysis before cost issues appear in production.
• Continuous FinOps reporting: monthly executive summaries, cost optimization reports, FinOps review sessions, action trackers, ownership mapping, and savings validation.
• AWS credits and discount support: eligibility assessment and documentation support for PoC credits, AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), ISV programs, and other AWS funding opportunities where applicable.

Our four delivery pillars

• Proactive FinOps: cost-aware architecture decisions before workloads are deployed, including design reviews, service selection, scaling strategy, and trade-off analysis.
• Continuous FinOps reporting: monthly workload optimization, rate optimization, forecasting, anomaly detection, cost allocation, and savings tracking.
• Embedded FinOps for resale customers: ongoing savings reports, architecting sessions, and FinOps guidance included in the AWS billing relationship where applicable.
• AWS credits and discounts: support for identifying, preparing, and applying for relevant AWS funding, credits, MAP, ISV, and discount programs.

Who it is for

Organizations running workloads on AWS that need lower run-rate, predictable cloud spend, and stronger accountability across engineering, finance, product, and leadership teams. This offering is especially relevant for companies with growing AWS usage, multi-account environments, AI or data workloads, SaaS platforms, migration programs, or unclear ownership of cloud cost.

Outcomes

• Typically 10-30% AWS cost reduction within 90 days where optimization opportunities apply.
• Full AWS cost visibility by account, team, workload, project, customer, product, or business unit.
• Better forecasting, budget control, and anomaly detection for predictable cloud spend.
• Stronger cost accountability across engineering, finance, product, and leadership teams.
• Practical FinOps maturity growth through reporting, review sessions, ownership mapping, and repeatable operating practices.
• Cost-aware architecture and modernization decisions that improve efficiency before waste reaches production.
