Our 2024 Highlights
IAMOPS Expands Services with Professional FinOps Expertise
In 2024, IAMOPS reached a significant milestone by expanding our services to include Professional FinOps Services.
With a deep understanding of the challenges tech companies face in managing cloud costs, we introduced this service for our clients to achieve greater financial control, optimize resource utilization, and scale efficiently.
In just five months since launching our FinOps services, we have delivered remarkable results for our clients, securing a total of $125K in AWS funding, providing $65K total private pricing discounts, and saving over $10.5K through hands-on cost optimization activities.
With the immediate impact of our solutions in resolving the financial challenges of our clients, we have stayed true to our commitment to aligning technical expertise with strategic financial management, creating lasting value.
IAMOPS 5 Pillars FinOps Framework
Our FinOps services are built on the IAMOPS 5 Pillars FinOps Framework, a comprehensive approach that ensures impactful results for our clients.
- Customized Monitoring provides real-time insights into cloud costs, helping clients track spending across projects, teams, and regions. By monitoring high-demand services like EC2 and Lambda, our clients have avoided budget overruns and ensured efficient resource allocation.
- Hands-On Cost Reduction focuses on eliminating inefficiencies and optimizing resources. Using tools like CloudCheckr, we helped clients rightsize workloads, streamline Kubernetes clusters, and implement lifecycle policies to reduce storage costs.
- Savings Plans enable long-term cost reductions of up to 72%. By aligning AWS Savings Plans with usage trends, we’ve helped clients achieve significant discounts while ensuring their infrastructure remains flexible and scalable.
- Cloud Credits have proven crucial in reducing costs. In 2024, we secured over $125,000 in funding for our clients through AWS programs, including $40,000 from the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), $44,000 from Incremental Workloads, and $41,000 from Proof-of-Concept (POC) initiatives.
- Private Pricing negotiations have delivered enterprise-level discounts, saving clients over 50% on services like computing and storage. Our partnership with Ingram Micro further allows us to provide cost-efficient solutions while managing billing for our reseller clients.
Why IAMOPS FinOps Stands Out
IAMOPS FinOps isn’t just a service—it’s a commitment to our clients’ success.
We take full ownership of their cloud cost challenges, delivering tangible savings and streamlined operations.
The best part? This service is included at no additional cost for IAMOPS clients, making it a seamless part of our comprehensive offerings.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on 2024, the success of our FinOps services inspires us to continue driving value for our clients.
Whether it’s securing funding, optimizing cloud resources, or negotiating better pricing, IAMOPS remains dedicated to empowering companies to scale with confidence and efficiency.
If you haven’t explored FinOps with IAMOPS, we’re here for you to take the next step toward smarter cloud cost management.
