Visible spend
Create reliable allocation, ownership, trends, forecasts, and unit economics where data permits.
FinOps service
Control cloud and AI cost without trading away quality or reliability.
We combine billing, architecture, workload behavior, and business demand. The result is a clear view of AWS spend and AI unit economics, a prioritized optimization plan, and a FinOps rhythm that helps engineering, finance, and leadership make better tradeoffs.
Business outcomes
What this work should improve.
Every engagement is tied to visible operational or business improvement—not technology activity alone.
Realized savings
Prioritize and implement optimization actions with owners, validation, and impact tracking.
Durable cost control
Embed budgets, anomaly detection, architectural review, and regular decision forums.
What we deliver
The capabilities behind the outcome.
The exact scope is shaped around your estate, constraints, and team. These are the core capabilities we combine.
Cloud and AI cost baseline
Analyze billing, usage, allocation, commitments, model and token consumption, anomalies, growth, and workload context.
Optimization engineering
Right-size compute, storage, databases, data transfer, model routing, caching, elasticity, scheduling, and architecture.
Commercial optimization
Model commitment and licensing options against demand stability, risk, and operational plans.
FinOps operating model
Define ownership, tagging, budgets, forecasts, KPIs, review cadence, and decision rights.
Designed for
A clear fit before you commit.
Organizations with rising or unpredictable AWS spend, unclear ownership, unused commitments, weak allocation, recurring cost anomalies, or optimization recommendations that have not translated into realized savings.
What you receive
Working capability, evidence, and a clear handover.
- Trusted spend, allocation, utilization, and commitment baseline
- Prioritized opportunities with assumptions and confidence
- Implemented changes with health and savings validation
- Budgets, forecasts, KPIs, ownership, and FinOps review cadence
How we work
A practical path from evidence to improvement.
Each stage ends with a decision, working capability, or measured result. Your team stays involved throughout.
- 01
Baseline
Establish trusted spend, ownership, trends, demand, commitments, and constraints.
- 02
Prioritize
Rank savings by confidence, effort, risk, dependency, and expected time to value.
- 03
Realize
Implement approved changes, verify service health, and measure savings against the baseline.
- 04
Govern
Operationalize allocation, forecasting, anomaly response, and recurring optimization.
A practical comparison
How our delivery model differs.
A focused point engagement can be the right choice. CloudVests is designed for work that must connect evidence, implementation, and operating responsibility.
| Area | CloudVests approach | Typical point engagement |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis | Billing, architecture, performance, and business demand together | Billing export and generic recommendations |
| Savings | Tracked from recommendation through implementation and validation | Potential savings reported once |
| Tradeoffs | Reliability, performance, delivery, and commercial risk assessed | Cost reduction considered in isolation |
| Operating model | Shared engineering, finance, and leadership accountability | Periodic procurement exercise |

Frequently asked questions
Questions teams ask before starting.
Have a question specific to your environment? We can review it with the right engineering specialist.
Ask CloudVestsHow much can we save?
Savings depend on architecture, utilization, growth, commitments, licensing, and prior optimization. We establish a defensible baseline and present opportunities with assumptions and confidence rather than promising a generic percentage.
Will cost optimization reduce performance?
It should not reduce agreed service outcomes. We review performance, capacity, resilience, and demand before change, use controlled implementation, and validate health after optimization.
Do you only provide recommendations?
No. CloudVests can assess, implement approved changes, validate realized impact, and establish ongoing FinOps governance with your engineering and finance teams.
Can ArchMate help with cost optimization?
Yes. ArchMate can surface architecture and cost opportunities consistently. CloudVests engineers validate those findings against workload behavior and business constraints before recommending implementation.
What access is required for a cost assessment?
We normally begin with approved read-only access to billing, cost allocation, utilization, commitments, and relevant architecture information. Access is minimized to the agreed scope, and sensitive exports are handled according to the client’s security requirements.
