The average enterprise running AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud overpays by 30-40% annually. The money isn't lost on bad architecture, it's lost in poorly structured commercial agreements, unused Reserved Instances, over-committed EDPs, and unchallenged list pricing. This tool identifies which category your spend falls into.

How Optimised Is Your Cloud Spend?
Question 1 of 10
Which cloud provider(s) does your organisation primarily use?
Select all that apply, we'll focus on your dominant spend
What is your approximate annual cloud spend (all providers combined)?
Rough estimates are fine, this calibrates your savings potential
Do you have an Enterprise Discount Programme (EDP) or equivalent commitment agreement in place?
AWS EDP, Azure MACC, Google Cloud CUD/Flex CUD
When was your current cloud contract or EDP last professionally benchmarked?
Not internal review, an independent benchmark against market rates
What percentage of your cloud compute is covered by Reserved Instances or Savings Plans?
On-demand pricing typically costs 40-70% more than committed pricing
How was your EDP or commitment discount negotiated?
Who led the negotiation determines how much headroom remains
Do you have a FinOps practice or dedicated cloud cost management function?
FinOps covers real-time visibility, rightsizing, and waste elimination
How much of your cloud contract includes flexibility to renegotiate pricing mid-term?
Flexible contracts can be renegotiated as spend grows, many organisations don't know they can
When is your next cloud contract renewal or EDP review?
Negotiation leverage is highest 6-12 months before renewal
Has your cloud vendor ever proactively offered you a better commercial deal without you asking?
Vendors almost never volunteer savings, they optimise for their own revenue

Estimated Annual Savings Opportunity
Calculating...
Based on your spend level and optimisation gaps. Independent negotiation typically captures 25-40% of cloud spend.
Results are indicative estimates based on industry benchmarks. Actual savings depend on your specific contracts, vendors, and negotiation strategy. We work on a 25% gainshare basis, no savings = no fee.
Understanding Your Score
What the Results Mean for Your Business
SCORE 0-39, HIGH RISK
Significant Overspend
Your cloud spend has multiple structural problems, no EDP, no committed pricing, no benchmarking. Enterprises in this category typically overpay by 35-50% vs market rates. Immediate professional review is recommended before your next renewal.
SCORE 40-69, MODERATE
Meaningful Savings Available
You have some controls in place but material optimisation gaps remain. EDP terms may be below market, Reserved Instance coverage is probably insufficient, and contract flexibility hasn't been fully tested. Typical savings in this range: 20-35% of annual cloud spend.
SCORE 70-100, OPTIMISED
Well-Managed, but Not Complacent
Your cloud commercial position is relatively strong. Focus areas: ensuring your EDP reflects current usage growth, challenging any price escalation clauses, and verifying your RI/Savings Plan coverage is optimal for your workload mix.
