OPTIMAZE Cloud Economics Platform

We have all asked the question: Why is my cloud bill so high? One of the largest items on the P&L is one of the least understood.

Many large cloud users find that a significant portion of their cloud expenditure is underutilized. On average enterprises waste 30% of their cloud bill (Gartner), 55% of Cloud commitments are based on guesstimates, and it takes 31 days on average to catch and fix an anomaly - which happen all the time. The answer is usually a manual initiative or a tool to recommend optimizations that require repeated manual work. As priorities shift, spend creeps up and cloud waste increases. This has both a large financial and environmental impact.

The goal should be to enable everyone in the organization to self-service cost clarity and drive continuous efficiency improvement, based on business-aligned Unit Economics. This has traditionally been challenging because of three main issues:

1. Source cost data is stale, erroneous, and largely incorrectly or unattributed

2. There are limited ways for owners to financially benchmark existing performance

3. Centralized FinOps functions are constrained by available personnel

OPTIMAZE's Cloud Economics Platform uses agentic AI to restructure and improve the cost data set. This enables accurate cost attribution across a variety of dimensions, like team, product and feature, and directly improving Engineering and Financial Analyst productivity. The user keeps full control over the output and is able to generate multiple views for different stakeholders. Cost estates are now kept up to date and editable in real-time. Repetitive cloud cost analyses, multi-month tagging projects and stale cost estates are a thing of the past.

With cost data in the right shape, cost owners overlay their cost dimensions with custom metrics and build their own Unit Economics (E.g. Cost per transaction, Cost per user, Cost per product, Cost of Acquisition, Profitability per product) alongside OPTIMAZE-provided industry benchmarks. With cloud costs now aligned to business impact, the business can set KPIs in OPTIMAZE to improve the unit of economics that matter, double down on profitable initiatives, and divest (not optimize) initiatives that don't cut the mustard.

A financial AI agent helps Finance, Business leaders, and Engineering monitor cloud spend through trend analysis and conversational intelligence, supporting and automating reporting and analytics. Anomalies get detected instantly, and through correct attribution, owners can take immediate action. Every team in your organization all of a sudden has a FinOps analyst.

OPTIMAZE Cloud Economics Platform is billed based on outcome or through a private offer fixed pricing agreement.

Whether you are an engineer, finance professional, product lead, or business executive, OPTIMAZE helps establish a framework of financial efficiency, accountability, and clarity for your technology stack. OPTIMAZE can be run alongside existing optimization tooling and consulting/FinOps efforts.
