Many businesses struggle to manage their cloud finances effectively, leading to overspending and inefficient resource use. Mid-sized companies and startups often lack the expertise or resources to handle these challenges internally, creating a gap for expert-driven solutions that don’t require building an in-house team.
One approach to address this could involve offering outsourced financial operations (FinOps) services, acting as an extension of a company’s finance or IT team. Key components might include:
A hybrid model could combine expert support with a lightweight dashboard, giving clients visibility while relying on specialists for deeper analysis.
Starting small with a consulting-style MVP for pilot clients could validate demand. Initial steps might include:
Monetization could follow different models, such as retainers, performance-based fees tied to savings, or tiered service packages matching client needs.
Unlike self-service tools, this would pair automation with human expertise for tailored advice. Compared to consulting firms, it could offer continuous support rather than one-time audits. The blend of tools and hands-on guidance might appeal to companies that want optimization without dedicating internal resources.
