The SMB Cloud Conundrum: Time is Your Most Precious Resource

The reality?

Your Software and DevOps engineers are laser-focused on building, deploying, and maintaining your core products and services. Their time is too valuable to spend hours deep-diving into cost allocation tags or analyzing EC2 instance family performance for marginal gains.

Your Finance Team is rightly focused on growth, cash flow, and strategic investments. Granular details like AWS Savings Plan and Reserved Instance utilization or S3 lifecycle policies, while impactful, are often beyond their daily operational scope.

AWS provides a range of tools and recommendations, but turning all that data into actual savings requires dedicated time, specialized knowledge, and consistent focus—resources SMBs teams simply don’t have.

This isn't a deficiency in your team; it's a natural structural challenge inherent to resource-constrained SMBs.

The "FinOps Gap": Where Enterprises Prosper, and SMBs Get Left Behind

Larger enterprises have recognized this challenge. They invest heavily in dedicated FinOps (Cloud Financial Operations) teams. These teams are solely responsible for tracking, analyzing, and optimizing cloud spend, ensuring every dollar delivers maximum value.

But what about the vast majority of small businesses spending under $50,000/month on AWS? You don't have the luxury of a dedicated FinOps specialist let alone a FinOps team. You can't justify the overhead of hiring specialists just to manage cloud costs. Yet, the cost optimization challenges remain, and the potential savings are significant.

This is precisely where the "FinOps Gap" exists. You need the benefits of FinOps without the expense of a dedicated team.
