The cloud offers companies unimagined opportunities, but also harbours the risk of uncontrolled costs. With FinOps for AWS, you stay in control and utilise the full potential of the cloud without exceeding your budget.
FinOps (Financial Operations) is an innovative approach that combines finance, technology and business. The goal: to optimise cloud costs while maximising business value. With FinOps for AWS, you gain control over your cloud spend while accelerating your digital transformation.
As an experienced managed service provider, we support you in optimising your AWS cloud infrastructure.
Our proven FinOps approach includes:
A FinOps checkup with PCG and the introduction of FinOps in the company brings many advantages. The following use cases impressively demonstrate this potential:
In an industrial company that has been using cloud resources for more than five years, hundreds of unnecessary snapshots and dozens of unused hard drives were identified through script-based analyses. As a result of these measures, savings of over EUR 4,000 per month were achieved, which corresponds to an annual saving of around EUR 50,000.
In a digital service provider that has been using cloud resources for more than five years, the discount programmes were not optimally aligned with the requirements of product development. This resulted in potential annual savings of around EUR 80,000.
In a medium-sized company, internal customers were allocated more resources than were actually required. A savings potential of EUR 8,000 per month could even be realised in the short term, which corresponds to around EUR 25,000 over the year.
When companies venture into the cloud, this usually starts with setting up virtual machines (VMs) to run their workloads on the selected cloud platform. A key aspect of optimising computing costs is to carefully evaluate the price-performance ratio.
When running your cloud workload, you have the freedom to choose the type of physical CPU. This decision can have a measurable impact on performance and costs. By choosing a CPU with a favourable price/performance ratio, you can achieve immediate cost efficiencies.
For example, C3D VMs powered by 4th generation AMD EPYC™ processors deliver up to 45% better performance and improved performance consistency over previous N2D VMs, with up to 360 vCPUs and 2.8TB of memory per VM.
In addition, running your workload on a more powerful CPU can result in a shorter runtime, saving on ongoing computing costs. When evaluating VM types, it is crucial to ensure that the underlying CPU matches the requirements of your workload.
Our aim is to help you select a flexible solution that offers a comprehensive range of functions while ensuring a good balance between customisability, performance and total cost of ownership (TCO).
By switching from N2D to C3D, general VM customers can save an average of 26% on their VM operating costs (across five typical workload benchmarks), reducing their overall cloud spend or opening up the IT budget for high-demand features such as Data & AI Services.
Lower cloud costs through efficient use of resources and optimisation of your cloud strategy.
Increase the transparency and control of your cloud costs and make informed decisions based on real-time data.
Even with low monthly savings, the return on investment of FinOps initiatives is usually very high.
Reduce your Scope 3 emissions in your supply chain with our "use less" approach.
Increase the speed of your innovation and adapt your cloud environment flexibly and on demand to scale.

In an era where digital transformation is crucial for business growth, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly looking towards cloud technology to gain a competitive edge. This case study highlights the journey of T34MS, an innovative Swedish company, in leveraging cloud solutions with the expertise of the Public Cloud Group (PCG).
In an ambitious initiative to revolutionize their digital framework, StiQ, a dynamic player in the K-12 foodservice industry, embarked on a cloud journey with Public Cloud Group (PCG). This venture into Amazon Web Services (AWS) was not just about migration; it was about redefining what a small to medium-sized business (SMB) can achieve with the right cloud strategy.
The Public Cloud Group (PCG), a leading player in the European cloud landscape, has been awarded with the AWS SAP Competency.
