    Granular cost Observability Leading to Decision (GOLD)

     Info
    GOLD, an enterprise cloud cost intelligence platform, provides detailed cost visibility along with GenAI-powered recommendations. It is designed for rapid and flexible deployment and features a customizable, client-hosted architecture that offers organizations insights and control over cloud financial operations without the expenses associated with traditional alternatives.

    Overview

    At Sopra Steria, we combine the power of Generative AI with deep cloud financial expertise to deliver a lean, highly effective solution for cloud cost optimisation — purpose-built for enterprises managing complex, multi-cloud environments.

    Organisations are wasting up to 35% of their cloud spend due to:

    • Manual Analysis : Teams spend weeks generating cost reports instead of acting on insights
    • Fragmented Visibility : Costs scattered across accounts, providers, and silos with no unified view
    • Unpredictable Billing : Unexpected cost spikes with no clear root cause or team accountability
    • Hidden Waste : Significant monthly spend lost to orphaned, idle, and underutilised resources
    • Commitment Inefficiency : Reserved Instances and Savings Plans poorly matched to actual usage patterns
    • Compliance & Sustainability Gaps : Inadequate reporting against governance, regulatory, and ESG obligations

    Our Methodology A proven, iterative 6-step framework designed to deliver results in days and weeks not months:

    • DISCOVER & ACCESS : Establish secure, read-only connections across all cloud environments and gather billing, usage, and organisational data
    • ANALYSE & BASELINE : Identify cost anomalies, waste patterns, shadow IT, and forecasting gaps; establish a quantified current-state baseline
    • DESIGN STRATEGY : Co-create a tailored cost optimisation blueprint with GenAI-powered insights, covering quick wins and long-term financial levers across finance, engineering, and operations
    • IMPLEMENT : Execute the strategy through manual or automated workflows: right-size resources, enforce tagging policies, apply commitment plans, and configure budgets and alerts
    • AUTOMATE & OPERATE : Operationalise cost control with policy-driven automation (auto-scaling, idle shutdown, anomaly detection) embedded in CI/CD pipelines and ITSM workflows
    • GOVERN & EVOLVE : Define FinOps KPIs, establish governance cadences, review optimisation metrics monthly, and build a sustained culture of cloud financial accountability

    Highlights

    • Cloud-agnostic FinOps: one view of AWS/Azure/GCP/OVH/private.
    • GOLD turns cloud spend into a governed, optimised, GenAI‑enabled investment.
