FAQs

Common questions

How quickly can we see savings?

Some savings, such as removing idle resources, can be made straight away. Others, such as reservations, are planned with you to avoid locking in the wrong commitments.

Will optimisation affect performance?

No. We base every change on real usage data and agree it with you first, so performance and resilience are protected.

Is FinOps a one-off exercise?

No. Cloud usage changes constantly, so we help you build regular reviews and reporting that keep costs under control over time.
