Idle storage, non-prod scheduling, and commitment coverage are prioritized for review with evidence and an owner.

Executive summary

Transfer growth explains most of the variance. The highest-impact work is non-prod scheduling, unattached storage cleanup, and a commitment coverage review. Material changes wait for your approval.

Outcomes

What CloudCostIQ helps you improve.

The point is not another dashboard. It is measurable improvement in how your organization understands and controls cloud spend.

Lower avoidable cloud spend

Turn waste, idle resources, and coverage gaps into a prioritized backlog of savings work.

Clearer ownership of cloud costs

Every meaningful cost has a named owner and an accountable path to resolution.

More reliable budgets and forecasts

Track budgets and forecasts against actuals so finance can plan with confidence.

Stronger commitment decisions

Make reservation, savings-plan, and committed-use decisions with the evidence to back them.

Better visibility for leadership

Give finance and leadership executive-ready reporting they can read and forward.

A prioritized optimization backlog

Know what to work on next, ranked by impact, effort, and risk.

Fewer surprise cost increases

Catch anomalies and spend changes early, before they become month-end surprises.

A repeatable FinOps cadence

Establish an operating rhythm that keeps costs under control after the first savings land.

We do not promise guaranteed savings. Results depend on your environment, and specific figures are established during an assessment.

Outcomes · Savings backlog

Turn optimization findings into a prioritized, owner-assigned savings backlog — each item with monthly impact and a clear status.

Who it's for

Built for the people accountable for cloud spend.

Whether you own the budget, the infrastructure, or the roadmap, CloudCostIQ gives you a practical way to reduce spend and keep it under control.

Finance leaders

Need clearer forecasts, accountability, and executive reporting they can trust and present.

Cloud and infrastructure leaders

Need a prioritized plan that reduces cost without slowing engineering teams down.

Engineering leaders

Need actionable optimization recommendations tied to real architecture and usage.

Growing companies without a FinOps team

Need expertise and structure without hiring a full internal FinOps function.

Which option is right for you?

Pick the path that fits where you are today.

There is no wrong entry point. Many teams start with an assessment or the platform and add the other as they grow.

Platform only

You already have internal owners.

Best for teams that have internal owners and need better tooling, visibility, and workflow to run cost management themselves.

FAQ

Questions a careful buyer asks.

Does CloudCostIQ support both Azure and AWS?
Yes. CloudCostIQ works with Azure and AWS cost data through billing exports and connected cost ingestion where available. Reporting stays finance-readable across providers.
Can we hire CloudCostIQ without purchasing the software?
Yes. Consulting engagements can be delivered with or without the CloudCostIQ platform. Many teams start with a cloud cost assessment and decide on the platform separately.
Can consulting be combined with the platform?
Yes. The platform provides ongoing visibility and accountability, while consulting accelerates the assessment, the optimization work, and the FinOps operating-model setup. They are designed to work together.
Is CloudCostIQ a managed service?
CloudCostIQ is software plus optional hands-on consulting. Engagement scope is agreed up front. We help drive the work, but customer-approved owners retain control of their cloud environment.
Will you make changes directly in our cloud environment?
Only within the agreed engagement scope and only with your approval. Recommendations come first; material changes require customer sign-off before anything is implemented.
Can you work with our finance and engineering teams?
Yes. Engagements are designed to collaborate with both finance and engineering — connecting cost decisions to budgets on one side and to architecture and usage on the other.
How does a cloud cost assessment work?
We review current Azure and AWS spend, identify cost trends and major drivers, surface waste and optimization opportunities, review reservations and tagging, and deliver prioritized recommendations with a practical 30-, 60-, and 90-day action plan.
Do you guarantee a specific amount of savings?
No. Specific savings cannot be guaranteed before an assessment. Recommendations are based on available billing and configuration data, and realized savings depend on your environment and which changes you approve.
Is CloudCostIQ suitable if we do not have a dedicated FinOps team?
Yes. CloudCostIQ is built for growing companies that need expertise and structure without hiring a full internal FinOps function. Consulting supplies the expertise; the platform supplies the operating cadence.
Can you help with reservations, savings plans, and cloud commitments?
Yes. We review commitment coverage and utilization and help with reservation, savings-plan, and committed-use strategy. Purchase decisions are routed through your finance approval rather than made automatically.

Start with better visibility or start with an expert assessment.

Whether you need a platform, hands-on consulting, or both, CloudCostIQ can help you understand where your cloud money is going and build a practical plan to improve it.
