FINOPS OPTIMISATION SPRINT · CLOUD MODERNISATION
Cut AWS costs by 20 to 40% in weeks.
Rightsizing, storage optimisation and cost governance that deliver measurable savings without touching your application code or disrupting production. Most organisations don’t have a spending problem, they have a visibility and governance problem. This sprint fixes both.

AWS SAVINGS ESTIMATOR
See what the sprint could return in your environment.
Based on your monthly AWS spend and a realistic savings rate. You choose the assumption, we validate it in the sprint.
Monthly AWS spend (USD)
$25,000
What savings rate applies to your environment?
$5,000/mo
Estimated monthly saving
$60,000
Estimated annual saving
Indicative only. Your actual saving depends on your service mix, current waste and the actions you take. We review this with you during the scoping call.
WHERE AWS SPEND LEAKS
Six places the sprint looks first.
Typical recoverable waste by category, as a percentage of total monthly AWS spend.
30–40%
Oversized compute
EC2 provisioned for peak load that never arrives. Usually the single largest saving.
10–15%
No Reserved Instances
Stable workloads left on On-Demand. Commitment pricing saves 30 to 60% on those.
15–25%
Orphaned resources
Unused Elastic IPs, unattached EBS, idle load balancers and stopped instances.
10–20%
Suboptimal storage
S3 class mismatches, EBS on the wrong tier, RDS over-provisioned at creation.
5–10%
Data transfer costs
Avoidable inter-AZ and egress charges from early decisions never revisited.
COMPOUNDS
No cost allocation tagging
Without tagging nobody owns the spend, and waste compounds invisibly.
HOW THE SPRINT WORKS
Four phases. Savings visible by the end.
PHASE 1
Discovery and analysis
We analyse Cost Explorer data, Trusted Advisor findings and your inventory, then rank opportunities by value and risk.
PHASE 2
Rightsizing and optimisation
Compute rightsizing, RI recommendations, storage-tier changes and orphaned-resource cleanup. Tested before production rollout.
PHASE 3
Governance implementation
Cost allocation tagging, budget alerts and Cost Explorer dashboards. Finance and engineering get visibility they can act on.
PHASE 4
Handover and next phase
Documented savings, a post-sprint review and a roadmap for ongoing FinOps governance or follow-on modernisation.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Measurable savings, not a recommendations report.
Implemented optimisations
