A retailer was already on OCI but the bill kept climbing. We ran a FinOps optimisation pass and removed 42% of monthly spend in 90 days, paid only on the savings we verified.
The retailer had migrated to OCI quickly to meet a deadline and never came back to tidy up. Environments were over provisioned, test and dev ran around the clock, storage tiers were wrong, and nobody owned the bill. Spend was growing faster than the business, and finance had started asking hard questions.
They wanted the cost down without risking availability, and they wanted proof that any saving was real before they paid for the work.
Nothing about the workloads changed. The savings came from removing waste, fixing storage tiers, and matching commitment to real demand.
| Lever | What we did | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Compute right sizing | Matched shapes to measured load | Removed standing over provision |
| Scheduling | Shut down non production off hours | Cut idle compute spend sharply |
| Storage tiering | Moved cold data to the right tier | Lowered storage cost with no access change |
| Commitment | Modelled Universal Credits to usage | Aligned spend to real demand |
