Services
Four engagements, one operator standard: enterprise-grade AWS practice applied to companies that don't have (and don't need) a full platform team.
A deep audit of your AWS spend: rightsizing, Reserved Instance and Savings Plan coverage, orphaned resources, data transfer paths, and architecture-level waste. Typical outcome: 20–40% off monthly spend.
See the engagement model →End-to-end datacenter-to-AWS migration: landing zone design, network topology, security group strategy, and multi-account structure. Legacy VMware estates translated into cloud-native designs. Largest single engagement: 1,300+ servers.
Scope a migration →Terraform modules, Lambda-based automation, and Python tooling that eliminate manual ops. We integrate AI coding agents into your team's IaC workflow, with delivery cycles typically 40–60% faster.
Automate your ops →AWS environments designed to pass HIPAA, SOX, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 audits on the first attempt. We partner with your compliance team from architecture through evidence collection.
Get audit-ready →Flagship Engagement
Most companies overspend on AWS by 25–40%. The waste hides in oversized instances, missing reserved capacity, orphaned volumes, idle load balancers, and environments nobody ever shuts down. Your team is busy shipping product. That's where we come in.

01 — Discovery call
30 minutes on your AWS setup, account structure, and pain points. No commitment, no prep needed.
02 — Read-only access
You grant read-only IAM access or export a Cost & Usage Report. We never touch your environment during the audit.
03 — Analysis & report
In 2–4 weeks you get a prioritized report: each finding with projected savings, risk level, and exact steps.
04 — Review & agreement
We walk through the findings together. You choose what to implement; we finalize the savings target and fee.
05 — Implementation
We execute the changes, or your team does with our runbooks. Either way, nothing ships without your sign-off.
06 — Verified payment
Savings are verified against your actual AWS bill over 90 days. You pay 25% of verified Year 1 savings. That's it.
Fixed-Fee Engagement
For companies spending $5,000 to $50,000 a month on AWS. One week, one fixed fee, and a written plan that shows exactly where the money goes and what to change first. Built for the team that knows the bill is too high and has nobody whose job it is to fix it.
| Fee | $2,500, flat. Credited in full toward implementation or the contingency audit within 90 days. |
| For | AWS spend of roughly $5,000–$50,000 per month, one account or several |
| Timeline | 5 business days from read-only access |
| Access | Read-only IAM role or a Cost & Usage export. Nothing in your environment is changed. |
| Guarantee | If we can’t identify at least $5,000 in annualized savings, the review is free. |
