FINOPS.Implemented

To be clear: No, FINOPS.Implemented is not a standard software product and there are no scripts that automatically optimize your Cloud costs.

Not because we know that the optimum can never be achieved this way. The optimum requires the combination of deep Cloud know-how, the right tools and automation as well as deep technical application know-how. Only this combination ensures that all optimization options can be identified, validly evaluated and the most effective ones implemented.

So what is it then?

Obvious optimizations

Non obvious optimizations

Procurement & discount optimization

Infrastructure & resource optimization

Workload analysis & Cloud native modernization

Well, FINOPS.Implemented is …

guiding our customers through their individual journey of Cloud cost and usage optimization over a period of typically 9 to 12 months, or - if desired - longer term as a managed service
tackling all 3 levels of optimization according to the iceberg model
the clear measurability of savings by comparing the actual Cloud spend “before and after”. This gives you a clear view of the ROI of our services.
the continuous rotation of the FinOps flywheel “INFORM-OPTIMIZE-OPERATE” as a managed service, carried out by adconova. This includes all necessary initiatives at the necessary intervals or cycles.
minimizing the effort on the customer side, as we take care of the steps for you.

FINOPS.Implemented

We turn your FinOps flywheel, continuously.

INFORM-OPTIMIZE-OPERATE

Cycle	Necessary Activities / Results
Biyearly	Review Cloud strategy, status & actions
quarterly	OKR Setting & Review Roadmap review & adoption Budgeting & alert setting Assessment incl. deep dive optimization
Monthly	Full spend visibility, Showback & Chargeback Anomaly detection Cost & benefit reporting, including waste situation Spend forecasting
Event driven	Alert handling

We take care of optimizing your Cloud costs and usage as a managed service. We are only satisfied when we have achieved clearly measurable savings and improvements. We won’t give up until we have achieved that.

To achieve this, we use our tried and tested Cloud cost optimization system. This consists of a clear process model, methodology, technical tools, automation and comprehensive know-how.

Hence the name FINOPS.Implemented, because FinOps as a regular process - similar to the monthly financial process - is settled with us.

Get started now - FINOPS.Roadmap

The start of your individual cloud optimization journey

Wondering how to get started?

Typically with our FINOPS.Roadmap package. In it, we address your situation individually: Where are you as a company in terms of Cloud optimization? What level of maturity have you reached today? And above all: what savings potential is there for you? And finally: what steps would be necessary to realize the savings potential?

We can reassure you, these questions are completely normal and were not answered by the vast majority of our customers before working with us.

Phase 1

Insight

All relevant product owners, IT architects, finance and management receive a detailed questionnaire. We also need data from your Cloud billing and cost management. With your answers and data, we get an overview of your Cloud usage, Cloud costs and how you manage everything today.

Phase 2

Analysis

We analyze your answers and your Cloud data and compare them with our expertise, best practices and the market.

Phase 3

Current state & benchmark

Using the analysis results, we create your current situation and compare it to the ideal (benchmark). We present the results to you in a joint workshop.

Phase 4

Roadmap & implementation

We are now in a position to assess your potential for possible savings and optimization and to show you the necessary steps to achieve your goal.
