Frequently asked questions

What is FinOps and why does it matter?

FinOps (Financial Operations) is the practice of bringing financial accountability to cloud spending. It matters because most organizations overspend on cloud by 30-40% without visibility into where costs originate, who owns them, and how to optimize without impacting performance.

How much can I save with a FinOps engagement?

Typical savings range from 20% to 40% of current cloud spend. The FinOps Assessment identifies waste (orphaned resources, oversized VMs), optimization opportunities (Reserved Instances, Savings Plans), and governance improvements (tagging, budgets) with quantified financial impact.

Do I need a FinOps engagement if I already use Azure Cost Management?

Azure Cost Management provides data, but it does not interpret it. A FinOps engagement adds expert analysis — contextual right-sizing decisions, break-even calculations for reservations, tagging strategy design, and organizational change management to sustain savings.

What is the difference between the Assessment and the Monthly Subscription?

The Assessment is a one-time deep analysis that identifies all savings opportunities and produces a prioritized action plan. The Monthly Subscription is an ongoing service that monitors costs, tracks savings, alerts on anomalies, and delivers new recommendations each month.
