04 FAQ
Questions CFOs and CTOs ask us.
What does FinOps as a Service include?
Three parts: a technology review of your existing architecture (utilization, right-sizing, choosing the right services), a FinOps team that analyzes expenses and usage patterns and trains your finance team, and a partner ecosystem for cost monitoring.
Who on our side do you work with?
Both sides of the bill. Our analyst works with your technology team and with the finance governance team responsible for cloud payments, and helps you build an organizational process that keeps running after us.
Does it change our architecture?
It can. Cost optimization starts with going over the existing architecture: resource utilization, right-sizing, and moving workloads to the services that fit them. Changes are made in line with your needs and current infrastructure.
Is it only for AWS?
No. Cost optimization and financial visibility are part of both our AWS and Microsoft Azure partnerships. Talk to us.
