FinOps
FAHM helps organizations operationalize FinOps using Apptio and IBM Cloudability so teams can understand cloud cost drivers, enforce governance early, and turn insights into measurable savings with automation.
The challenges we solve (what’s changing in data centers)
We help organizations operationalize FinOps by combining strategy, tooling, and automation to bring clarity, control, and accountability to cloud spend. Leveraging Apptio and IBM Cloudability, we enable teams to move from reactive cost reporting to proactive, business-aligned cloud financial management without slowing down engineering velocity.
Bring Context to Cloud Data
Standardize and enrich multi-cloud cost data so teams trust what they see and know who owns it.
Act with Automation
Turn recommendations into automated actions for rightsizing, commitments, and waste reduction.
Manage Containers & Kubernetes Costs
Deliver granular, real-time visibility and optimization for containerized and Kubernetes workloads.
Forecast with Confidence
Improve planning accuracy with intelligent forecasting and better control over budgets and plans.
How We Engage
Discover & baseline
Confirm data sources, tagging/mapping standards, and reporting needs (FOCUS-aligned where applicable)
Govern & shift-left
Implement Cloudability Governance guardrails and code-review cost visibility
Optimize
Establish dashboards, rightsizing/containers visibility, and commitment strategy
Automate
Enable Premium automation + workflow integrations for anomalies and actions
Forecast & operationalize
Implement forecasting controls + cadence for monthly reporting and decisioning
Case studies
Multi-cloud cost governance “shift-left” rollout
Client: A renowned North American enterprise with distributed platform teams
Challenge: Cost risks identified too late (post-deploy), inconsistent adherence to tagging/policy standards
Solution: Implemented proactive governance so teams can review costs and enforce policy guardrails during code reviews using GitHub.com + Terraform integration
Results: Earlier detection of cost impact, automated policy enforcement, and faster feedback when compliance drift occurs
Kubernetes cost visibility & optimization for a platform engineering org
Client: A renowned ABC-region digital services company running Kubernetes across multiple environments
Challenge: Limited real-time K8s cost allocation and unclear ownership across teams
Solution: Enabled Cloudability Advanced Containers support for real-time K8s monitoring/allocation/savings/governance and paired with Kubecost capabilities for improved right-sizing automation
Results: Stronger DevOps accountability, shift-left optimization, and improved scalability/performance of cost tooling
Commitment strategy modernization and automation
Client: A renowned country financial services organization with large AWS spend
Challenge: Manual commitment analysis, missed savings, and difficulty aligning recommendations with business strategy
Solution:
Captured organizational commitment preferences and aligned recommendations using business-aware commitment management
Automated commitment management for AWS compute and benchmarked performance against KPIs (Savings, Coverage, Savings Rate, Flexibility)
Results: Reduced manual effort, minimized missed savings while maintaining flexibility, and smarter purchasing through automation
Anomaly management integrated into ITSM workflows
Client: A renowned multi-business enterprise with strict operational controls
Challenge: Cost anomalies were detected but not tracked consistently, leading to repeated issues and slower triage
Solution: Enabled anomaly detection integration with ServiceNow and Jira Cloud, plus export for analysis and improved context for prioritization
Results: Anomalies tracked like incidents, better cross-team collaboration, and cleaner follow-through from detection to resolution
