Commercial Optimization

A significant opportunity to enhance cloud return on investment in a game of risk versus reward.

Problem

Whilst commercial optimiazation does not address cloud wastage, it delivers substantial value through two constructs: public and private commercial contracts. The challenge at scale of public commercial optimization is managing the recurring, centralized nature of these contracts. They are a traditional upfront agreement, on top of a consumption usage pattern. Making sure you reach risk appropriate coverage with a moving target is challenging, and needs constant time and attention.

Private commercial optimization requires specialized expertise and deep strategic alignment with your vendors. Whilst it is likely one of your largest financial agreements, it is opague, frustrating and time consuming. Balancing trust in the vendor with commercial interests is conflicting.

Old way

Traditionally vendors recommend managing public commitments centrally and from a risk perspective this is the right approach. The results however are underbaked agreements "just to be on the safe side". FinOps (financial operations) and procurement teams require countless team interactions, spend modelling with expensive recurring 3rd party tooling, and time consuming interactions with the vendor to get to these agreements.

"Optimaze takes the financial risk out of commercial optimization"

New way

FinOps and procurement teams need real-time metrics, benchmarks and trend analysis to make it much easier to see what the baseline is, how it compares to other teams and within the industry, and when to take action. With Optimaze, a lot of the recurring analysis is shifted to Agentic AI, which is designed to be 50% faster than doing your recurring analysis work manually.

Through Optimaze Economics, customers will have a much better understanding on the value they are getting from cloud, which makes for an improved negotiating starting point for private agreements. It vastly reduces the burden on the engineering organization to provide individualized reports. Optimaze's Cloud Relationship Advisory overlays the data with human experience, to remove frustration, reduce negotiation cycles and maximize the relationship.
