FinOps - Manage cloud costs optimally

FinOps, or Cloud Financial Management, is primarily concerned with how companies get maximum value from cloud costs incurred. However, FinOps goes far beyond the pure cost issue, because it can be seen as an effective operating model for the cloud. 

Centralization

Centralize cloud services costs within a central organization in the enterprise

Rate optimization

Reduce the rates you pay for individual services, e.g. through discounts.

Simplification

Simplify your cloud cost management, through effective and efficient reporting

Consumption optimization

Adjust the consumption to the actual required power, this can happen among other things by right-sizing

Transparency

Understand what costs are involved, what services you get in return, and whether the cost-benefit ratio is right

Future orientation

As more and more workloads are moved to the cloud, FinOps helps you position your business for future developments

We can help you to realize the maximum return on cloud costs sustainably.

Our certified experts have many years of experience in deriving and implementing FinOps services in international corporations and medium-sized companies. We have the necessary certifications and experience to implement FinOps optimally for you.

Maturity

Together, we analyze the current maturity of your FinOps or cloud implementation. In doing so, we look at various areas to create a holistic picture.

Implementation

You are at the beginning of your "FinOps" journey and have not startet to apply the FinOps principles actively yet?

Consulting

Are you looking for targeted support for individual aspects or would you like advice on specific topics? We are happy to be there for you.

Managed Service

Our FinOps Managed Service covers all aspects of FinOps principles. We can fully support you in cloud cost optimization.

We optimize the costs for these cloud providers:

We are completely independent of the various cloud service providers.

TIMETOACT has been represented on the market for years in the area of software asset management (license management). In addition to the commercial knowledge, we as TIMETOACT GROUP had specialists who are specialized in the individual cloud manufacturers in the technical area. These include Microsoft Azure, the Google Cloud and Amazon Webservices.

Commercial and technical consulting

The TIMETOACT FinOps team combines competences in both areas, which enables us to be active for our customers both commercially and as technical consultants and to achieve the optimal result. Due to the complexity and the large scope of the topic, this interaction is the prerequisite to be able to offer the topic FinOps holistically.

With us, you get everything from a single source: This set-up distinguishes us from our competitors, who are often either too focused on the technical side (IT infrastructure, IT administration) or the commercial side (IT license management, IT controlling).
