AWS isn’t a cost. Losing track of it is.

You absolutely can – if you know what you’re doing. There are more than 200 AWS services, and knowing which ones actually matter for your setup takes real, ongoing expertise. Our job is to look at your current setup, spot waste you've probably missed and add (or remove) services that improve efficiency and give you more value from your cloud spend. Because AWS is all we do, we’re well placed to hone in on these opportunities – and implement them – fast.

Most organisations reduce their monthly AWS spend by 20% to 30% without sacrificing performance or reliability. Up to 40% is sometimes possible. Immediate savings usually come from identifying idle resources, over-provisioned compute and orphaned storage. Long-term savings come from architectural right-sizing, modernising legacy databases and optimising AWS pricing tiers. Over the past 12 months, we’ve identified potential savings of $7m+ AUD for customers.

They can be, but the real prize is often what a properly optimised AWS setup lets you do next: move faster, adapt quicker and build things your competitors are still waiting to try out. Treat AWS as a cost to manage, and that’s all it’ll ever be. Treat it as a platform to build on, and it becomes one of your biggest advantages.

AI is part of your AWS environment – it isn’t a separate thing bolted on – so we govern it the same way we govern everything else. That means visibility over model usage, token consumption and GPU workloads (and control over how teams use them), so costs don’t grow quietly in the background. We also cover SaaS AI tools, which tend to be where unbudgeted spend first surfaces. We’re certified to ISO 42001, the standard for AI management systems, so this is handled consistently – not ad hoc.

Minimally – if at all. Governance is layered onto the setup you already run, so your workloads stay as they are and your team keeps working as normal. We’ll collaborate with you every step of the way.

It’s all about ongoing oversight. Without this, spend can easily drift back up as new workloads launch. That’s why we set up robust cloud governance tools that provide real-time monitoring across your cloud use. It helps embed accountability into your day-to-day operations and keeps your infrastructure lean as your business scales.

AWS native tools show you where money is going, but they don’t tell you how to re-architect your setup to stop waste without risking system stability. As an AWS Premier Tier Partner, we combine automated usage tools with hands-on architectural expertise – helping you fix the root cause, not just monitor the symptoms.

Yes. As an AWS Marketplace Approved Consulting Partner, we’ll help you find, test and deploy third-party solutions through Marketplace, with consolidated billing and access to private pricing on renewals.

Every case is different, but savings opportunities and optimisation strategies are identified within a week of starting your review. Full implementation – including resource right-sizing, governance setup and security hardening – is typically delivered within 30 to 60 days. We offer ongoing support, as well as AI-driven insights to keep you on track.

Absolutely not. Our goal is to give you more freedom, not less. We’ll develop a setup that lets you adjust your workloads and cloud demands with ease as your business ebbs and flows.

Modernising and optimising your AWS environment builds compliance into your infrastructure from the start. For most businesses, that means alignment with the Australian Privacy Act and NZ’s Privacy Act 2020. If you’re APRA-regulated, we also align with current standards like CPS 230 (operational risk) and CPS 234 (information security). In practice, this means:

• Data sovereignty: workloads locked to local ANZ regions, satisfying cross-border transfer restrictions
• Reduced attack surface: removing unmonitored ‘ghost’ assets, orphaned storage and unpatched legacy systems
• Automated guardrails: continuous governance tools enforcing encryption, least-privilege access and drift detection
