FinOps
Cloud costs you can explain.
Most companies know what they pay for AWS. But they do not know why. Without granular cost allocation, tagging governance, and active rightsizing, cloud spending grows faster than the value it delivers.
Tallence implements FinOps as an operating model: Inform, Optimize, Operate. We create transparency, identify savings potential, and embed financial accountability in your team.
What is FinOps?
Definition
FinOps gives your organisation a structured way to manage AWS spending. Technology, finance, and business teams share visibility into cloud costs, agree on budgets, and optimise together. The goal: every euro spent on cloud infrastructure delivers measurable business value.
Most companies know their monthly AWS bill. Few can explain which team, product, or environment drives the cost. Without tagging governance and active rightsizing, spending grows unchecked. Reservations expire unused. Instances run oversized for months.
Tallence implements FinOps as an operating model across three phases: Inform (who consumes what), Optimize (where to save), and Operate (who stays accountable over time).

What FinOps delivers in practice.
Concrete savings from real customer projects. No averages, no projections.
Through targeted rightsizing, reserved instance strategy, and removal of unused resources.
Optimised instance reservations and efficiency improvements within one year.
Granular cost allocation per team, product, and environment. Your CFO understands the bill.
- 1 Based on real customer projects combining rightsizing, Reserved Instance strategy, and removal of unused resources. See AWS Case Study: Anzu (aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/anzu-case-study).
- 2 Corresponds to the 75th percentile Effective Savings Rate (ESR) per the ProsperOps 2024 ESR Benchmarks & Insights Report (prosperops.com), based on over $1.5B in annualised AWS compute spend.
FinOps framework
Inform. Optimize. Operate.
The FinOps Foundation framework in three phases. Each phase shows what Tallence does and where your organisation stands today.
Establish cost transparency
Before you can optimise, you need to understand. We create full visibility over your AWS spending.
Your organisation: Tagging strategy is defined. Teams know their AWS spending.
- Granular cost allocation via tagging governance
- Budgeting and tracking at team level
- Trend and variance analysis
- Assessment and optimisation of cloud management tools
AWS tools
The AWS tools for cost transparency.
Tallence uses AWS-native tools as the foundation and supplements them with specialised FinOps platforms where needed.
AWS Cost Explorer
Visualisation and analysis of AWS spending by service, region, tag, and time period. The foundation of every FinOps initiative.
AWS Budgets
Budget limits and automatic notifications when thresholds are exceeded. Prevents cost surprises.
AWS Compute Optimizer
AI-driven recommendations for rightsizing EC2, Lambda, EBS, and ECS. Concrete savings potential at the click of a button.
AWS Trusted Advisor
Automatic checks for unused resources, security gaps, and cost optimisation potential.
Cost and Usage Report (CUR)
Granular raw data of all AWS spending. The foundation for custom dashboards and cost allocation.
AWS Savings Plans
Flexible discount models for EC2, Lambda, and Fargate. Up to 66% savings compared to on-demand pricing.
Cost transparency
What Tallence makes visible.
Cost per team
Granular allocation of AWS costs to teams, products, and environments.
Cost trends
Trend and variance analysis that detects anomalies early.
Budget vs. actual
Real-time comparison of planned and actual spending.
Cost anomalies
Automatic detection of unexpected cost increases with immediate notification.
Savings potential
Concrete recommendations for rightsizing, reserved instances, and unused resources.
Compliance costs
Allocation of security and compliance investments to business units.
Why Tallence
FinOps needs context, not just tools.
AWS depth
We know the AWS cost structure in depth: reserved instances, savings plans, spot, Graviton. No generic recommendations.

Measurable results
We work with concrete savings targets and measure progress monthly.
Integrated in managed services
FinOps is part of Tallence Cloud Foundation. No separate engagement needed.
Next step
Reliability as an engineering discipline.
Cost optimisation and stability belong together. SRE closes the gap.
