This service combines practical advice and guidance with hands-on activities to transform an organisation’s approach to controlling their cloud costs. By bringing together key stakeholders from finance, procurement and your technical functions, we build a picture of your requirements before building an action plan for customised reporting, budget setting, resource tagging and monitoring.

We will then implement the agreed plan, following up with a further workshop to validate the dashboards, reporting and alert routing. This will be supported by written recommendations with additional advice to support the cultural changes which may be required to build cloud cost control into people’s roles.

**Benefits: **

1. Timely and accurate reporting - Customisable role based reporting and real-time intuitive dashboards mean everyone can access the data they need, when they need it.
2. Confidence and control - Policies such as budgets and tagging enable project level resource ownership and avoid unallocated costs, driving accountability.
3. A foundation to drive FinOps - Cost efficiency becomes a separate objective for the success of cloud based on process, discipline and continuous improvement.
4. Shared ownership of cloud usage - Finance, IT, Product teams and other key stakeholders can understand which services are driving costs over time
