Our Service Models

When your spend levels do not warrant a dedicated (team of) resources, or if you just want somebody else to take the pain away for you, outsourcing Cloud Cost Management to the FinAnts team makes perfect sense.
When it is possible to take responsibility over day-to-day Operations on an SLA driven Managed Service basis then we can Build and Run this for a period of time.

We agree SLAs, KPIs and Targets that are easily understood and reflect 'Good Cloud Cost Management'.

We design and implement the service with you, and after an initial transition period take full accountability.

FinOps is a new discipline. In many organisations it is covered by a single individual or a small team.

Through this model we provide those individuals and small teams with coaching, mentoring, advice and guidance in the development of a mature FinOps service.

As a customer of our Coaching & Mentoring service we will regularly engage with you during your FinOps journey. Your team can raise any FinOps question with us, anytime.

Typically efforts are measured in hours. We agree a monthly maximum budget and confirm who in your organisation we will work with. Together we will set an objective for the next 6 months.

When you are not sure if your spend includes Wastage, then why not transfer the risk to us through a No Cure/No Pay Engagement?

We engage on Cost Rescue, Cost Saving and Avoidance assignments and you only pay us if we achieve a net positive result.

After an initial and free of charge Discovery we confirm our ability to execute on a No Cure/No Pay basis and agree the terms of the Engagement with you.

We charge you a time & material rate and/or a percentage of cost saved.

You only pay us when the cost reduction outcomes are equal to or exceed our charges.

A more traditional model that works well for many organisations.

We ensure deliverables or outcomes are clearly defined and agree a budget and change control mechanism. We contract for an outcome and take ownership over specific deliverables within the context of overall Customer led decision making and accountability.

We engage with Customers on a time & material, fixed price or shared benefit basis.

In this model, we take on Customer Operational roles, with all authority and responsibility that entails.

It is a great model to help you quickly make changes before engaging with your own permanent capability.

Not only do we take ownership over specific deliverables, we are also empowered to make the required decisions.

We become a part of your organisation for a defined period of time: usually between 6 and 18 months.

When it is possible to take responsibility over day-to-day Operations on an SLA driven Managed Service basis then we can Build and Run this for a period of time.

We build in the efforts and requirement to Transition back to you and your team as part of the engagement.

This is a great way of becoming FinOps Cost Management confident fast, while gaining early Cost Benefits in the process.
