Cloud Cost Management

Our approach to cloud cost management

Our cloud FinOps experts apply a simple AIM framework (assess, implement, maintain) to help organizations realize their cloud optimization goals:

Assess: The first step requires assessing your cloud environments. Our recommendations engine, built with cloud optimization best practices, provides a high-level snapshot of opportunities to reduce costs in areas such as commercial arrangements, support arrangements, idle workloads, right-sizing opportunities and commitments/reservations.
Implement: Next, our experts work with you to better understand workloads. As an outcome of these workshop sessions, our experts will develop a custom risk/benefit priority work plan that we can help implement.
Maintain: The last step involves identifying the assessments and procedures for managing and maintaining your optimized cloud environment going forward.

Premium services

In addition to the included services, the following services were developed for customers who desire a more hands-on approach to optimizing their cloud investment.

Featured assessments

Public Cloud Commitment Contract Assessment

Public cloud consumption contracts are commonplace for organizations with significant public cloud usage. Each major cloud service provider offers its own Enterprise Agreement and commitment vehicle: Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC), Amazon Web Services Enterprise Discount Program (AWS EDP), and Google Cloud Commit. It's critical to evaluate all factors impacting your ability to meet or exceed your contractual commitments, so you don't undercommit (e.g., miss additional discounts) or overcommit (e.g., pay for unneeded services).

Cloud Marketplace Assessment

It is increasingly critical for IT organizations to achieve commitments with cloud service providers (CSPs) in a predictable and measurable way. Without the right processes in place, IT's ability to deliver on its cloud commitments can be quickly overextended. WWT's Cloud Marketplace Assessment is a cost-effective way to benchmark the effectiveness of your software procurement processes.

Additional cloud services

Each cloud journey is unique. Using a proven, outcomes-focused approach, we guide customers through the steps needed to achieve cloud maturity in an iterative fashion. Whatever your level of cloud presence — from initial strategy design through migration and operation — WWT's full spectrum of service offerings can move your organization up the cloud maturity curve and help you get the most out of your investment.
