Public Cloud / FinOps
Move to the cloud confidently and cost-effectively — with migration planning, landing zone architecture, and ongoing FinOps governance that eliminates the 32% average waste in enterprise cloud environments.
Public cloud advisory encompasses the strategy, architecture, migration, and ongoing optimization of workloads running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Unlike a traditional IT project with a defined end date, cloud is a continuous operating model that requires ongoing governance to deliver its promised benefits.
FinOps — short for Financial Operations — is the practice of bringing financial accountability to cloud spending. The FinOps Foundation estimates that organizations waste an average of 32–40% of their cloud spend through overprovisioning, idle resources, and lack of visibility into who is consuming what. FinOps advisory identifies and eliminates this waste while building the internal processes and tooling to prevent it from recurring.
Able Advising approaches cloud and FinOps as a lifecycle — from initial assessment and migration planning through landing zone design, workload optimization, and ongoing cost governance. Our vendor-agnostic approach means we recommend the right cloud strategy for each workload, not a one-size-fits-all approach to a single hyperscaler.
Cloud Migration Planning
Assess on-premises workloads for lift-and-shift, re-architecture, or retirement — with a prioritized migration roadmap and business case.
Cloud Cost Optimization
Identify waste through rightsizing, reserved instance analysis, savings plans, and elimination of idle or orphaned resources.
Landing Zone & Account Structure
Build a secure, governed multi-account AWS or Azure environment with proper network segmentation, policy guardrails, and cost allocation tagging.
Multi-Cloud Governance
Establish consistent security policy, tagging standards, and cost allocation practices across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.
FinOps Practice Development
Build internal cloud financial management capability with real-time cost dashboards, budget alerts, chargeback frameworks, and accountability processes.
Cloud-Native Modernization
Migrate monolithic applications to containers, serverless functions, and managed cloud services that reduce operational overhead and improve scalability.
