IT & Cloud · Cloud Cost Optimization

Cut your cloud bill without breaking anything.

We review your Azure or AWS bill, find the waste and help remove it safely. Most of our fee comes from savings you can see on your own bill.

What we look for

Where cloud bills leak money.

Idle and oversized resources

Servers, databases and services that sit unused or run far bigger than the work needs. We right-size them or switch them off.

Forgotten storage and snapshots

Unattached disks, old snapshots, orphaned IP addresses and storage that never moved to a cheaper tier.

Reservations and savings plans

Steady workloads paying full on-demand rates. We recommend the right commitments, bought in your account and only with your approval.

Dev and test auto-shutdown

Non-production systems running nights and weekends. We set schedules so they run only when your team needs them.

Tagging and budgets

Clear tags so every dollar has an owner, plus budgets and alerts so surprises show up early instead of on the invoice.

Azure and AWS, side by side

One plain-English view of both clouds, whether you run one or both.

How it works

Clear steps, proof on your own bill.

How savings are measured

Your bill is the scorecard.

  • Your baseline comes first. Before we change anything, we average your last 3 full months of billing from your own Azure or AWS cost data. You sign off on that baseline.
  • Discounts you already have stay yours. Reservations, savings plans, credits and negotiated rates already in place count in the baseline, not as our savings.
  • Each change is measured on its own. Growth in your usage never inflates our number.
  • You get a monthly savings statement. Each change gets its own line with the date it went live, the baseline and the current cost, all pulled from your billing data.
Security

Read-only access. You own everything.

Read-only to start

The Bill Check and Assessment use a cost export or a read-only connection. We can’t change anything in your accounts.

Changes only with your approval

Nothing changes in your accounts without your written OK. Unused resources are stopped and watched before anything is deleted.

You own everything

Your accounts, data, reservations and savings plans stay in your name and under your control.

Revoke access anytime

You can remove our access whenever you want, with no notice needed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who is this for?

Businesses that spend $5,000 a month or more on Azure or AWS. If your bill is smaller, our IT Assessment & Strategy service is usually a better fit.

Do you need access to our cloud accounts?

Not for the free Bill Check. A cost export from Azure Cost Management or AWS Cost Explorer is enough. For the Assessment we use a read-only connection or exports, and you can remove access at any time.

How do you know the savings are real?

We measure against your own last 3 months of billing, and every change shows up on a monthly statement built from your billing data. If a saving doesn’t show up on your bill, we don’t charge for it.

Will this slow anything down or cause downtime?

We make changes one at a time, with your approval, at a time you agree to and with a rollback plan ready. After each change we watch performance, and if anything regresses we roll it back.

What happens after the 12 months?

The savings-share fee stops for each change after 12 months, and the savings are all yours from then on. If you want ongoing oversight, the optional FinOps Retainer covers it.

Do you work with businesses outside Florida?

Yes. We’re based in Lakeland, FL, and work with clients nationwide. Everything can be done remotely.
