AWS Cost Management and Optimisation

Our cost management service empowers organisations to estimate, budget, and control cloud spending, ensuring they stay within budget. Our certified team establishes and tracks budgets for cloud costs, forecasts expenditure and implements guardrails for service usage. A standardised process is applied across the organisation to decommission unused resources, and they utilise compute savings plans according to customer’s needs and provide regular reports to continuously ensure cloud costs are managed properly. All processes are ITIL compliant.

Key features of the service include:

• Cloud budgets and forecasts : Establish and track budgets, forecast your costs, and receive email notifications/alarms when actual expenditure exceeds or is forecast to exceed the established limits. 
• Cost control : Implement guardrails for cost usage based on organisational policies. 
• Organisation metrics : Establish the organisation metrics that are required for this workload, which should be a primary measure of customer usage. 
• Goals and targets : Define goals and targets to provide guidance and direction to your organisation on expected outcomes, with these targets providing specific measurable outcomes to be achieved. 
• Tagging policy : Standardise tags across resources in your organisation's accounts. 
• Cost allocation : Allocate costs based on workload metrics by analysing usage and cost reports. 
• Decommissioning process : Apply a standardised process across your organisation to identify and remove unused resources.
