Cloud optimization expertise backed by numbers

Andersen runs cloud cost optimization services across 10+ providers, so teams pick the right cloud environment and cut infrastructure costs.

Our 350+ certified cloud engineers deliver cloud cost optimization solutions for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, cutting cloud spending without slowing releases.

Clients rate Andersen 4.9/5 on Clutch for cloud cost optimization services that turn cloud investments into lower monthly bills.

Recognized cloud expertise and certifications

AWS and Microsoft Azure certifications back Andersen's audits, so every cost fix is vetted by certified engineers, not guessed.

Cloud cost optimization services we provide

Andersen's cloud cost optimization services span assessment, rightsizing, rate and commitment optimization, architecture, performance, security, and FinOps governance. Every engagement opens with an audit of AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud accounts, then moves to implementation by the same engineers. Clients take a single service or the full program.

Andersen's cloud assessment and cost optimization services map spend by account, tag gaps, and find waste before it compounds.

This audit covers:

  • Usage patterns and idle resources mapped;
  • Full inventory across cloud accounts;
  • Tagging gaps and cost anomalies flagged.

Teams facing a surprise bill or a new budget cycle usually receive a ranked savings roadmap in two weeks.

Cost visibility dashboards track cloud usage, spending trends, and budget thresholds, feeding usage reports and accurate budgets.

Dashboards include:

  • Real-time cost visibility by team;
  • Alerts before spend crosses thresholds;
  • Forecasts tied to real consumption.

Finance and engineering sharing one untagged account get per-team dashboards and threshold alerts.

Rightsizing helps eliminate waste from unused resources, oversized volumes, and idle compute, unlocking significant cost savings fast.

Rightsizing scope:

  • Sizing based on real utilization;
  • Storage tiers cut costs without losing speed;
  • Idle environments scheduled off-hours.

Products scaled for a traffic peak that never returned get instance sizes matched to real load and a smaller monthly bill.

Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and spot instances match workloads, with renewal tracking as part of ongoing commitment management.

Pricing scope:

  • Coverage analysis by workload;
  • Renewal tracking against rate creep;
  • Commitment mix reviewed each quarter.

Companies renewing expiring Reserved Instances get a coverage plan before the next term locks in.

Auto-scaling, serverless design, and storage tiering match infrastructure costs to demand and strengthen resource utilization patterns.

Architecture changes include:

  • Auto-scaling for variable workloads;
  • Storage lifecycle policies for cold data;
  • Egress and data-transfer paths reviewed.

Platforms outgrowing a lift-and-shift design get an architecture that scales down as well as up.

Database, caching, and network changes maintain performance while workloads scale, adding cost savings and reducing costs elsewhere.

Performance work covers:

  • Query tuning and caching layers;
  • Autoscaling tied to real traffic;
  • Load tests before instance downsizing.

Teams adding capacity to mask slow queries get tuning first and a smaller bill afterwards.

Financial governance stays paired with security and compliance, so tighter budgets never remove encryption, cutting audit risk and spend.

Security and compliance scope:

  • Access reviews alongside cost audits;
  • Compliance mapping for GDPR and PCI DSS;
  • Audit evidence kept with every change.

Regulated organizations under GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI DSS keep audit evidence intact while cutting spend.

Cluster tuning right-sizes Kubernetes nodes, pods, and autoscaling policies without compromising performance across busy clusters.

Container-level fixes:

  • Autoscaler tuning and node consolidation;
  • Pod limits matched to real usage;
  • Bin-packing raises node utilization.

Engineering teams running half-empty clusters get denser nodes without putting SLAs at risk.

GPU scheduling picks the right instance family and applies spot capacity or savings commitments to cut AI training and inference costs.

AI and GPU scope:

  • Instance family picked by batch size;
  • Spot and reserved GPU capacity;
  • Inference autoscaling cuts idle GPU time.

ML teams paying for idle GPUs between training runs get scheduled capacity and a GPU bill that tracks real training hours.

FinOps rollout assigns cost allocation and cost ownership to every team, backed by quarterly commitment and discount reviews.

FinOps scope:

  • Resource allocation reviewed by team;
  • Discount programs, continuous optimization;
  • Chargeback reports per business unit.

Organizations where nobody owns the cloud bill get named budget owners and a spend figure each team can defend.

Cloud cost challenges we solve

Cloud programs stall for practical reasons, not lack of effort. Andersen's cloud cost optimization services fix each one with a concrete engineering change, not just a recommendation.

Overprovisioned and idle resources

Andersen's audits often find 20-30% of instances idle after peak load; continuous right-sizing helps prevent over provisioning.

Limited visibility into cloud spending

Finance sees one invoice while engineers see none of it; real-time dashboards give every team its own cost visibility within days.

Inefficient use of Reserved Instances and Savings Plans

Commitments bought once and never revisited let coverage lapse; quarterly Reserved Instance and Savings Plan reviews close the gap.

Cloud platforms and environments we optimize

Andersen optimizes cloud costs across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and multi cloud environments, applying cloud strategy and governance tailored to each platform.

AWS cost optimization

AWS cost optimization services here use Cost Explorer, Compute Optimizer, and AWS Budgets to flag waste before it compounds.

  • Reserved Instance and Savings Plan coverage tuned by workload;

  • Right-sized EC2, RDS, and EBS volumes per AWS service.

Azure cost optimization

Azure Reservations, Hybrid Benefit, and Azure Advisor recommendations lower Microsoft Azure spend without losing committed capacity.

  • Azure Cost Management + Billing dashboards by subscription;

  • Auto-shutdown policies for non-production resources.

Google Cloud cost optimization

Committed use discounts, custom machine types, and BigQuery slot management control Google Cloud spend on data and AI workloads.

  • Committed use discounts matched to steady workloads;

  • Recommender-based rightsizing for Compute Engine.

Benefits of cloud cost optimization services

These are outcomes clients report after Andersen's engagement, not vendor promises. Every figure below comes from Andersen's own delivery data.

Reduced cloud spend and fast ROI

Andersen's engagements typically cut cloud spend by 20-30% within the first two quarters – significant savings that fund a fast, measurable ROI.

Predictable budgets and accurate forecasts

Monthly forecasts tied to actual usage cut budget variance to within 5%; most organizations see fewer quarter-end surprises within two cycles.

Improved performance and cloud efficiency

Rightsizing and architecture fixes ensure efficient resource utilization, typically lifting application performance 15-20% alongside a lower bill.

Freed engineering time for product work

Automated tagging and reporting save roughly five hours a week per engineer, improving operational efficiency and freeing sprint capacity.

Clear cost ownership and transparency

Showback and chargeback reporting usually assign every team its own cost center within 30 days, replacing one shared bill with clear cost ownership.

Scalable growth and cost control

Committed-use pricing and autoscaling absorb demand peaks, so business growth does not turn into a proportional jump in the cloud bill.

What our clients say

Clients cite measurable business outcomes, clearer reporting, and faster releases after working with Andersen's cloud cost optimization services.
