Cut cloud waste, rationalize SaaS licenses, surface shadow IT, and modernize legacy on-premise estates. One practice, four cost-leak zones.
Built in India · Serving enterprises across India and English-speaking markets
Every IT cost assessment we run finds money in the same four places. Specific, named, and recoverable.
Idle EC2 / VMs / nodes, oversized databases, wrong commitment mix, forgotten dev environments.
Unused seats, overlapping tools across teams, missed renewal negotiations, auto-renew traps.
SaaS bought on personal cards or team budgets, never visible to finance or IT — until renewal.
Under-utilized hardware, expired support contracts, deferred modernization compounding interest.
We follow the FinOps Foundation framework, extended across cloud, SaaS, shadow IT, and on-premise. Each phase has concrete deliverables, not slideware.
Full IT spend visibility you can act on.
Reduce spend where it is safe to reduce.
Make savings stick. Make waste hard to recreate.
Eight workstreams that span all four cost-leak zones.
Idle and oversized resources flagged with safe rightsizing recommendations.
RI / SP / CUD modeling, Azure Hybrid Benefit, EDP / EA renegotiation prep.
Seat-level usage, overlap analysis, and renewal-leverage report.
Expense + SSO + OAuth correlation to surface every SaaS in active use.
VMware / bare-metal utilization, support contract exposure, modernization candidates.
Policies, enforcement, and showback that survive team changes.
Cost spikes caught fast, with named owners and response runbooks.
Identified vs. realized savings, FinOps maturity, and the next 90-day list.
Our engagements run on Fintropy — our 470-rule FinOps platform with multi-cloud waste detection, FOCUS billing normalization, and SLA-breach claim tracking. Listing on Azure Marketplace soon.
You don't need to buy Fintropy to work with us. Most clients adopt it after the assessment because it's the same tool we'd be using anyway.

Every SaaS in active use — discovered from expense data, SSO, and OAuth grants. Seat-level usage, overlap analysis, and renewal-leverage reports.
VMware and bare-metal utilization, support exposure, and a modernization roadmap with keep / retire / replatform / rehost recommendations.
From kickoff to roadmap in four steps. ~4 weeks for a typical mid-market estate.
Read-only access. Fintropy scan. Expense and identity correlation.
Working session with finance, engineering, and IT leads.
Prioritized 90-day list. Owners. Estimated savings. Risk notes.
Retainer or savings-share. Monthly reporting against the baseline.
FinOps is one of many service lines for generalists. For us, it is the practice.

| Tooling | Vendor-resold dashboards | Fintropy (470 rules, listing on Azure Marketplace) |
| Cloud depth | Surface multi-cloud | AWS · Azure · GCP · K8s · VMware · FOCUS-billing native |
| SaaS & shadow IT | Often skipped | Discovery + license rationalization included |
| On-prem & legacy | Hardware refresh playbook | Modernization-led: keep · retire · replatform · rehost |

SaaS license consolidation
It covers four cost-leak zones: cloud waste (idle, oversized, wrong commitments); SaaS and software licensing sprawl (unused seats, overlapping tools, renewal overcharges); shadow IT (untracked SaaS bought on cards or team budgets); and legacy or on-premise drag (under-utilized hardware, expired support, deferred modernization). We work across all four.
Cloud cost optimization is a subset. Most enterprises also waste 20-40% on overlapping SaaS, untracked shadow IT, and depreciated hardware kept alive for inertia rather than business value. IT cost optimization addresses all of those. If you only need cloud, see our cloud cost optimization services.
Yes. We assess utilization across your on-premise estate (VMware, bare metal, traditional data center), evaluate maintenance and support exposure, and recommend keep / retire / replatform / rehost decisions. Hardware refresh quotes are out of scope; modernization roadmaps are in scope.
We combine three sources: expense data from finance (credit card and reimbursement feeds), identity provider logs (SSO and OAuth grants), and network DNS traces where available. The output is a complete inventory of SaaS in active use, who owns it, what it costs, and where it overlaps with corporate-procured tools.
Realistic ranges depend on current maturity. Across the work we have done, identified savings typically span 15-35% of optimizable IT spend in the first 90 days, with sustained savings depending on governance follow-through. We do not promise a specific number before assessment.
Assessment (3 weeks) → Findings review (1 week) → Prioritized 90-day roadmap → Execution support (ongoing, retainer-based or savings-share). Larger or federated estates can extend assessment by 1-2 weeks.
Yes — engagements with India-headquartered clients are priced and invoiced in INR. Assessments are fixed-fee. Execution support is retainer-based or savings-share, depending on scope and the client's preference.
Yes. We deploy scan tooling within your chosen India region, sign a data processing addendum, and align findings storage with DPDP, RBI, and SEBI guidance. Read-only access to billing and identity systems is the default; production data is not required for the optimization work.
Cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift), and VMware (vSphere, VCF). SaaS coverage is universal because we work from your expense and identity data — not vendor APIs — so any SaaS appearing in your spend stream is in scope.
Three measurements: (1) identified savings against your baseline run-rate, (2) realized savings in the first 90 days post-roadmap, and (3) governance maturity (tagging coverage, budget alerting, anomaly response). Reporting is monthly and tied to the FinOps Foundation maturity model.
