Measurable results, proven ROI.

Challenge

A $2.8M AWS practice lacked cost visibility — no chargeback models, no allocation taxonomy, uncontrolled spend growth threatening margins.

Solution

Built the FinOps practice from inception. Allocation taxonomy, tagging governance, chargeback and showback models, monthly C-suite and Board financial reporting. Spend aligned to business units and client contracts.

Outcomes

• 40% reduction in monthly cloud spend
• 31% S3 cost reduction — $215K/yr via lifecycle redesign
• 23% compute reduction via EC2-to-Lambda migration
• $380K/yr recovered via Reserved Instance and Savings Plan strategy

Challenge

No formal FinOps discipline — no budgeting, no anomaly alerting, frequent unplanned overruns hitting margin.

Solution

Advanced the organization from Crawl to Run across all three FinOps Foundation pillars: Inform, Optimize, Operate. Formalized cloud budgeting with variance tracking and anomaly alerting.

Outcomes

• 94% reduction in unplanned cloud spend overruns
• Full Inform/Optimize/Operate maturity achieved
• Monthly FinOps review cadence established
• Unit cost metrics tied to revenue and margin

Challenge

Critical and high findings proliferating across 50+ workloads. 48-hour mean time to remediation. Regulatory and operational risk compounding.

Solution

Built a security governance framework integrating Security Hub, GuardDuty, Inspector, and Config. Automated remediation. Aligned to SOC 2 and PCI-DSS.

Outcomes

• 89% reduction in critical/high findings within 90 days
• MTTR automated from 48 hours to 4 hours
• SOC 2 and PCI-DSS compliance alignment
• Enterprise security framework established

Challenge

P1 incidents averaging 3.2 hours MTTR. No standardized incident response, runbooks, or on-call rotation.

Solution

Built an enterprise incident response framework with 24/7 on-call, runbooks, playbooks, comprehensive monitoring.

Outcomes

• 99.97% uptime across production systems
• P1 MTTR reduced from 3.2 hours to 47 minutes (75%)
• Standardized runbooks and playbooks
• 24/7 on-call rotation established

Challenge

Major enterprise account requiring executive IT/data-center services management with strict uptime SLAs and quarterly Executive Business Reviews.

Solution

Directed $80M+ TCV with direct C-suite engagement. Quarterly EBRs covering operational performance, financial metrics, strategic technology roadmaps.

Outcomes

• 99.79% uptime sustained across 5-year engagement
• Consistent KPI performance across all domains
• Strategic roadmaps delivered quarterly
• Full P&L ownership for $16M annual contract

Challenge

Complex migration of 800+ VMs across North America, Europe, India. Zero-downtime requirement. Security posture strengthening.

Solution

Orchestrated full migration across global locations. Cloud transformation strategy. Rapid incident response integrating risk analysis and BIA frameworks.

Outcomes

• 800+ VMs migrated across 3 continents
• Improved performance and security posture
• P1 notification time reduced from 2 hrs to 10 min (87%)
• Full budget and margin optimization
