What is FinOps?

FinOps is the practice of optimizing cloud costs through collaboration between Engineering, Finance, and Business. It’s not just about cutting costs – it’s about maximizing the value of your cloud investments.

Our Approach

Phase 1: Inform

We create transparency about your cloud spending. Who consumes what? Which workloads cost how much? Only when you understand where the money flows can you optimize.

Phase 2: Optimize

With the insights gained, we identify quick wins and long-term optimization potential:

  • Shut down unused resources
  • Right-size oversized instances
  • Reserved Instances and Savings Plans
  • Spot Instances for suitable workloads

Phase 3: Operate

FinOps is not a one-time action but a continuous process. We establish processes, dashboards, and alerts that empower your teams to act cost-consciously.

Typical Results

  • 30-40% cost reduction in the first 6 months
  • Full transparency over all cloud spending
  • Accountability through cost allocation to teams/projects
  • Predictability through accurate forecasts

Technologies

We work with all major cloud providers and FinOps tools:

  • Azure Cost Management
  • AWS Cost Explorer & Budgets
  • Google Cloud Billing
  • Specialized tools like Kubecost for Kubernetes

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FinOps and why do I need it?

FinOps is an operational practice that brings together engineering, finance and business to make cloud costs transparent and maximize the value of cloud investments. Without FinOps, cloud costs often grow uncontrollably and cannot be attributed to individual teams or projects.

How quickly can FinOps reduce cloud costs?

Typically, we identify savings potential of 20-40% within the first two weeks through right-sizing, reserved instances and shutting down unused resources. In the long term, a FinOps culture ensures that costs remain sustainably optimized.

Does FinOps work in multi-cloud environments?

Yes, FinOps is cloud-agnostic. We consolidate cost data from AWS, Azure, GCP and other providers into a unified view and implement cross-platform showback and chargeback models.
