Every change is a project
Teams must identify and prioritize the right opportunities, find the owner, prepare the change, assess the risk, get it reviewed, ship it and measure the cost savings.
Find the savings. Ship the change. Realize Significant Impact.
Cloud Cost Optimization is one of the four solutions in Finitizer CloudIQ. It finds waste across AWS and Google Cloud, including BigQuery, prices each saving in dollars, prepares the change for your engineers to review, and measures the result after it ships.

Why cloud spend stays high
Cloud spend stays high because finding waste and architecture inefficiencies is difficult, and acting on them is harder.
Engineers have other priorities
Engineering teams are busy running the business and delivering revenue-generating work, leaving limited time for optimization.
The volume is too large to do by hand
At $10 million in annual cloud spend, an organization may need 5,000 to 10,000 cost-saving changes. Finding, prioritizing, and implementing that volume manually can take years without significant automation.
Expertise is fragmented
Expertise is also fragmented: a data engineer, for example, will not be able to optimize AI, Kubernetes, networking, storage, or cloud commitments.
