Cloud and data decisions are P&L decisions wearing a hoodie. Most AWS partners stop at the architecture diagram and leave gross margin, commercial database licensing, EDP contract negotiations, and M&A technical due diligence to "someone on the finance side". We bridge the boardroom and the terminal - backing every strategic recommendation with principal engineers who can execute it the same quarter.
Cost per tenant, per transaction, per million streamed records, and per LLM token. We build the unit-economic ledger your CFO signs off on and enforce it in production via mandatory tagging and tokener so gross margin becomes an engineering input, recovering ~22% of unattributed spend.
Commercial database processor licenses and throttled Exadata racks are frequently the largest hidden liabilities in enterprise IT. We have delivered >£1,000,000/yr in recurring Oracle EE licensing savings (85% core reduction) and uncaged +512 trapped hardware threads (+40% CPU capacity) on 10-node Exadata RAC estates while cutting nightly batch windows by 5.0 hours/day.
AWS Enterprise Discount Programs (EDP), Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), PoC credits, Activate, and Savings Plans portfolios. We model commitments against your realistic workload trajectory rather than vendor sales forecasts, and sit on your side of the negotiation table.
Pre-acquisition cloud, data, and AI risk audits plus post-merger infrastructure carve-outs. Having engineered regulated release factories during Yahoo's $5B private equity separation (cutting releases from 6 weeks to 6 minutes), we know exactly where post-merger integration bottlenecks hide.
Should you run Snowflake, Apache Iceberg on S3, ClickHouse, or DuckDB? Managed Apache Spark or a 1/10th-cost zero-copy PyArrow engine? We answer with a 36-month TCO model, a 4-week Proof Lab benchmark, and a candid recommendation - even when that means spending less on AWS.
For B2B software and AI companies, listing on AWS Marketplace (container or SaaS contracts) unlocks enterprise buyers' committed EDP spend. We architect your self-hosted or SaaS Marketplace packaging, Private Offers workflow, and APN co-sell readiness.
The common thread is a high-stakes decision with both an architectural component and a P&L consequence - led by an executive who wants candid counsel from a principal who has actually built and operated these systems at scale.
Every advisory deliverable includes a concise 5-to-10 minute asynchronous video RFC paired with a written Architecture Decision Record (ADR) so your board and engineering leads can align without 100-slide strategy decks.
One high-stakes decision, one definitive deliverable: a scored architectural & financial model, a written ADR, an async video walkthrough, and the evidence behind it. Ideal for EDP negotiations, build-vs-buy calls, and licensing audits.
A standing principal seat at your architecture and FinOps table. Monthly cost and design reviews, PR/ADR sign-offs, hiring calibration, and direct Slack/Teams access across NY, London, Dubai, and Istanbul.
Buy-side or sell-side technical due diligence, data-room preparation, carve-out cost modeling, and live board Q&A support led by principals with $5B+ M&A execution experience.
Send us the question, not a 20-page RFP. We will tell you in a single 30-minute call whether we can help and what the ROI looks like.
