Control costs to maximize the value of your cloud investments
Start OptimizationPartners
61%* of companies plan to optimize cloud costs, but 49%* are struggling to get full control over cloud spending.
* Anodot: 2021 State of Cloud Cost Report
Cloud providers offer many optimization levers. The most expensive is on-demand capacity. To encourage advanced scheduling and increased commitment (reserved instances), cloud providers offer discounts for commitments that typically require complex calculations when booking.
Not all resources are always necessary, and replacing, repairing or even shutting them down appropriately can bring noticeable financial benefits, lower cloud spend and significant cost savings.
You don't have to specialize in ways of cloud cost optimization.
What support do we offer in this area?
Make an appointment with us to discuss how to tame rising costs and optimize your cloud resource usage.
The cloud is not only changing the way IT solutions are designed and delivered, but also significantly affecting the processes and financial aspects that should be adopted.
Low awareness of the necessary changes in cloud deployment's technological and operational areas often results in overestimating usage costs. Meeting the needs for increased cost efficiency and finding the right method to manage costs face challenges.
Many technical, product and cloud teams can deliver IT infrastructure and services automatically and almost autonomously, thereby generating rising cloud costs - without finance department approval.
The cloud is constantly evolving, with new services and changes in pricing plans appearing all the time - and there are many pricing models, too. Forecasting costs and managing cloud finances is a challenge.
Without the right cloud cost reporting tools and knowledge, it becomes difficult for large organizations to interpret costs and gain adequate insight. This is especially true for those with multiple branches scattered around the world.
The way the cloud works and its features allow multiple people inside the organization to provide new resources. Additionally, multiply the challenges of controlling and predicting costs by 2 or 3 when an organization uses more than 1 cloud.
Cloud Cost Audit is part of our Cloud Cost Optimization offering and one of cloud cost management tools. The purpose of this service is to identify areas of optimization and to propose and execute corrective actions.
It consists of:
The result: a preliminary assessment of the cloud environment.
Result: the customer chooses which category of optimization service design (among those presented) he wants to use.
Result: we prepare detailed reports based on the results.
Result: a report and a workshop on the audit results, during which we make specific optimization recommendations.

We support 3 categories of activities (projects) to start optimization and see measurable results quickly:
Days
In most cases, this category concerns misconfigured or completely redundant resources but does not affect the solution architecture. The turnaround time is days, and sometimes even just hours. Very often, we can see the effect of lower costs the next day.
Examples:
Days - Weeks
In that category, we face problems that require more planning. Additional analysis of the potential impact on other components or services of the organization is often required. This is especially important in the case of irreversible operations, e.g., termination of potentially redundant resources that were initially uncertain. For this reason, we can expect cost reductions within days or weeks.
Examples:
Weeks - Months
This category always requires significant changes to the architecture of a solution that are never quick or easy to implement. Hence, a work period of several weeks must be considered before the estimated savings are achieved.
Examples:
Through careful selection, implementation, and scaling of cloud resources, you can reduce the waste of cloud resources and achieve optimization of IT processes.
Analyzing cloud environments, including multi-cloud or hybrid cloud, for performance and needs allows you to identify areas of optimization and then adjust them to deliver more value at a lower cost.
Cost optimization impacts the financial and operational aspects of a company. It improves visibility and identifies idle resources. In addition, it helps increase company profits when cloud spending is monitored and organized. Cost forecasting becomes easier.
Cloud-optimized companies empower employees to make productive choices. Optimizing cloud costs through TT PSC saves your employees time and allows them to focus on developing other aspects of your business.

Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Landing Zone (LZ) are key to optimizing cloud costs and enabling efficient resource management.
As a set of best practices and tools, the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) standardizes and automates processes, which minimizes the risk of overspending and inefficiency.
Landing Zone (LZ) is the underlying environment that ensures secure and cost-optimized deployment of cloud resources. Correct LZ implementation ensures scalable flexibility, security, and automation of cost policies, helping avoid unforeseen overspending in the future.
A well-designed CAF and properly implemented LZ impact the cost-effectiveness of the cloud, reducing operational costs and management issues, and allowing organizations to focus on innovation.

One of the pharmaceutical industry's leaders, a drug manufacturer, has decided to take advantage of the opportunities provided by Microsoft Azure. The company has been continuously operating for over 80 years and is one of the leaders of the European pharmaceutical market. Annually, its factories leave several hundred million packages of medicines for markets worldwide.The main challenge they faced was effectively using collected data. While cleaning, modeling, and analyzing data extracted from the production line had already begun, a decision had yet to be made on how to manage and use this data best.
A top pharmaceutical company partnered with TT PSC to enhance their mobile app testing for clinical trials. By integrating advanced tools and leveraging cloud solutions, we redefined their QA process. Discover how our collaboration led to improved efficiency, reduced errors, and faster time-to-market, ensuring superior quality and reliability for their clinical applications.
A prestigious luxury brand group – known for its exceptional craftsmanship in high-end watches, jewelry, fashion, and accessories, with a worldwide footprint across luxury markets in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, and the Middle East – is always chasing the most modern technologies, hence it’s one of the first companies that started using the Kubernetes platform along with Docker containers to host Windchill in development environments. It was a huge shift from an old school Virtual Machine-based approach, and new ways of working with this new environment had to be created from scratch.
