AI spend is accelerating - we help you keep up.
AI is not a product or feature that stands alone. Rather, it is a new model that sits across SaaS, cloud, data platforms, and infrastructure.
Most organisations see AI adoption and spend accelerating, but few have the insights and governance to control it.
Our FinOps for AI services help you establish visibility, ownership, forecasting discipline, and commercial control before AI spend becomes normalised and embedded.
Why FinOps for AI?
AI changes how technology is consumed:
-
Costs are consumption & usage-led
-
Tokens, prompts, GPUs, and API calls replace predictable licence metrics
-
Embedded AI features drive SaaS license uplifts
-
Pilot projects quickly become permanent run-rate costs
-
AI software and services are introduced with no exit plan
-
Value realisation lags behind cost acceleration
Without modern governance, AI creates cost and risk. With it, AI creates business value.
Engagement Models
We tailor our approach to where you are:
- AI Spend Assessment - a time-boxed review of your current AI footprint, cost drivers, and governance gaps; the right starting point if you don't yet have clear visibility
- Targeted Optimisation Review - focused engagement on a specific platform, vendor relationship, or cost category where spend or risk is highest
- FinOps for AI Programme - end-to-end design and implementation of governance, accountability structures, and commercial controls across your AI estate
- Ongoing Advisory - retained support for teams that want continued expertise without building it in-house
Who This Is For
- FinOps leaders whose cloud cost models weren't designed with AI consumption in mind
- ITAM and SAM professionals navigating AI-driven licence change across Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and others
- CIOs and CTOs scaling AI adoption and needing governance that keeps pace
- CFOs who are approving AI investment but lack the reporting to evaluate return
- Procurement teams negotiating AI purchases and renewals without clear consumption benchmarks
