Capabilities

What we analyse and optimise

FinOps Review

End-to-end analysis of your cloud spend: service-by-service breakdown, unit economics, and a ranked savings backlog with ROI estimates for each item.

Cost ExplorerSpot.ioCustom analysis

Compute Rightsizing

EC2, RDS, EKS node groups, and Lambda memory profiling. We right-size based on actual utilisation data — not intuition or vendor defaults.

Compute OptimizerCloudWatchProfiling

Reserved Capacity Planning

Savings Plans and Reserved Instance modelling across 1-year and 3-year terms. We model the break-even and recommend based on your growth trajectory.

Savings PlansRIsSpot Instances

Network Cost Analysis

Inter-AZ traffic, NAT Gateway, and data transfer costs are often the biggest hidden spends. We identify and refactor chatty traffic patterns.

Storage Optimisation

S3 Intelligent-Tiering, EBS snapshot cleanup, and data lifecycle policies. Pay only for storage that earns its cost.

Ongoing FinOps Practice

Tag enforcement, cost allocation dashboards, budget alerts, and a regular cadence of optimisation reviews. Savings that compound over time.

How we engage

From spend analysis to sustained savings.

Spend analysis

60-day lookback across all services. We categorise spend, identify anomalies, and build a ranked savings backlog. No commitment yet.

Quick wins

Idle resources, over-sized instances, and obvious optimisations first. Usually 10–15% reduction before touching reserved capacity.

Commitment strategy

Reserved capacity modelling with break-even analysis and risk scenarios. We recommend a position — you decide what to commit.

Instrumentation & governance

Tag enforcement, budget alerts, and cost allocation dashboards. The infrastructure to keep savings accruing after we're gone.

What clients say

From the finance teams who hired us.

31% off our AWS bill in eight weeks, and they handed us a runbook so we keep saving after they're gone. That's rare.

Sarah Chen

CTO · Lumen Logistics

CGX identified $1.2M in savings we hadn't seen in three years of having our own cloud team. The inter-AZ traffic analysis alone paid for the engagement ten times over.

FAQ

Common questions.

Don't see yours? Ask us directly — we usually reply within a working day.

The average across our engagements is 31%. Organisations with less mature FinOps practices typically see 35–50%. Those with existing optimisation programmes often see 15–25%. We model expected savings before you commit.

Not in our engagements. Rightsizing is based on profiled utilisation, not guesswork. We maintain or improve p99 latency as a constraint during all optimisation work.

Quick wins typically materialise in weeks 2–4. Reserved capacity purchases reduce bills immediately on activation. The full savings run rate is usually reached by week 8–10.

We model the options and make recommendations — you retain the approval authority. We help with the purchase workflow and ongoing management of the commitment portfolio.

Read-only access to Cost Explorer and CloudWatch, plus 30 minutes with your infrastructure lead. That's enough for us to produce an initial savings estimate within a week.
