A bill that keeps climbing is usually a symptom of something else: resources sitting idle, workloads larger than they need to be, no clear owner for spending, commitment choices that no longer fit, extra environments running in the background, or technical decisions that no longer match how the business operates. We work through your billing data and your actual environment to separate three things: what is safe to clean up this week, what needs engineering work to fix properly, and what needs an owner so it stops coming back.
Get StartedBefore anything gets cut, you need to know what you are actually paying for. We break your bill down by workload, environment, and team, find the spending nobody currently owns, and give you a picture built on your real usage data rather than assumptions. Most organizations are surprised by at least one line item.
We look at how your resources are actually used to find workloads that are larger than they need to be, infrastructure sitting idle, leftover resources nobody owns, old backups, and unused capacity. Each recommendation comes with the savings you can expect and an honest read on how risky the change is to make.
Discount commitments, reserved capacity, storage choices, the way data moves between systems, automatic scaling, and managed services can all move the bill up or down. We separate the changes you can make on the finance side, which are quick and low risk, from the ones that need engineering work and judgment.
A one-time cleanup does not last on its own. We help you set up budgets, alerts, tagging, and approval steps that stop costs from creeping back up, and build the ongoing habits that keep cost a normal part of how your teams make decisions.
ECG keeps the service mix tied to the actual environment, operating model, and business pressure.
Spend trends, usage drivers, allocation gaps, forecasting, and suspicious cost movement
Overprovisioned workloads, idle resources, orphaned assets, stale storage, and low-risk cleanup wins
Committed-use discounts, reserved capacity, predictable baselines, and flexibility tradeoffs
Autoscaling, storage tiers, data transfer patterns, managed services, and platform decisions behind the bill
Budgets, alerts, tagging, chargeback, dashboards, accountability, and recurring review loops
We work through your billing data, usage patterns, and the current state of your resources to understand what is driving the most cost and where the best opportunities to save are.
We give you a prioritized list of recommendations, each with the savings you can expect, the effort involved, and the risk. You will know exactly what to do, what it will save, and how much work it takes.
We help put the quick wins in place right away and work alongside your team on the larger improvements. We make sure the changes do not affect performance or reliability.
We help set up ongoing cost monitoring, alerts, and governance habits so saving money becomes a continuous practice rather than a one-time project.

Most organizations we work with see savings of 20 to 40 percent. The actual figure depends on where you start. Organizations that have never worked on cost often see larger savings, while those who have already done some of this work tend to see less. We give you realistic estimates based on a look at your own environment, not a generic percentage.
It should not, and we are careful to avoid it. We study how your resources are actually used before recommending any change, and we test changes before rolling them out widely. Done well, this work means paying for what you need rather than cutting corners that affect the people using your systems.
Our deepest experience is with AWS, but the core ideas behind cost savings apply across every cloud provider. We can help with setups that use more than one provider, and we have done this work in Azure. If you run mainly on Azure or Google Cloud, we are happy to talk through your specific situation.
You agree to use a set amount of capacity over one to three years, and in return you get a meaningful discount, typically 30 to 70 percent compared with paying as you go. The risk is committing to capacity you do not end up using. We study your usage patterns to recommend a level of commitment that balances the savings against the flexibility you need.
Yes. The cost of moving data around is often surprising, and it can be reduced through changes to your setup, caching and content delivery, private connections between services, and choosing the right regions. We have helped organizations cut their data transfer costs by more than half through focused changes.
Most engagements start as a focused review with a clear deliverable: a ranked list of savings opportunities and help implementing the first round. Some clients stop there and run the governance themselves. Others keep us on a periodic review cycle because cloud environments drift. Either is fine, and we would rather earn the second phase than sell it up front.
