Control your cloud costs - without sacrificing agility

The cloud delivers speed and scale; but at what cost?

You moved to the cloud for flexibility, innovation and performance. Your teams can build fast, deploy instantly, and scale on demand. But without the right controls in place, cloud spend can spiral. Many CIOs and CTOs are seeing unpredictable costs, wasted resources, and increasing scrutiny from finance.

Here’s the truth:
The cloud only delivers cost savings if you manage it differently from on-prem.

Leaving services running 24/7?
That’s like lighting your office all night, every night.

Paying full price, on-demand?
That’s like buying every train ticket at the last minute.

Holding onto unused environments?
That’s paying for hotel rooms long after you’ve checked out.

Ready to manage your cloud differently?

The old rules don't work in the cloud

Traditional governance models - lengthy approvals, capital investment gates, slow procurement - don’t align with today’s cloud-native operations. But that doesn’t mean you throw away governance altogether.

What changes is how you manage it.

To govern your cloud environment, you need:

✅Full visibility across cloud usage

✅Accurate allocation of spend to products and services

✅Forecasting and budgeting tied to business objectives

TSL FinOps: 5 steps to sustainable cloud cost optimisation

3. Pilot and Iterate

Target high-return areas, generate savings, train teams and create internal champions.

5. Monitor and Sustain

Long-term support, continuous improvement, and managed tooling to lock in results.

The real-world proof

"The huge growth in our data means we have to be highly efficient, just to keep functioning. We've saved a million, but there are still savings to be made" Katherine Stubbings - Head of the Office of CIO, Genomics England Limited.

World-leading research organisation Genomics England Limited (GEL) saved £1 million when they applied the TSL FinOps methodology to optimise their AWS cloud operations.

GEL uses AWS to support its genome sequencing work, which uses high performance cloud computing and a massive 100 petabytes of data.

Their cloud savings funded additional ground-breaking research projects.
