Client stories
Evidence from assessments, workshops, and briefings—specific enough to show how cloud service consumption analytics for multi-app environments actually lands with stakeholders.
Multi-App Cloud Consumption Assessment
“Their assessment finally showed which of our six products was driving the storage line. We had argued about it for two budget cycles with nothing but guesses.”
Finance partner, mid-size software publisher in Seoul
Consumption Attribution Workshop
“The workshop was useful, though I wished we had brought clearer examples of disputed costs beforehand. Still, we left with an attribution draft our product owners could accept.”
Head of application operations
Application Portfolio Usage Review
“We only needed profiles for three customer-facing apps ahead of a handoff. The usage review arrived on time and in language our new owners understood.”
Programme manager
Quarterly Consumption Briefing
“Quarterly briefings keep the conversation short. We spend the hour on outliers instead of rebuilding spreadsheets from scratch.”
Director of service delivery
Extended notes
Tracing shared database spend across three internal apps
Multi-App Cloud Consumption Assessment · National retail group, IT governance office
A Seoul retailer asked us to explain why a managed database family kept rising while each application team claimed their usage was flat.
We mapped three internal applications to one shared database cluster and two read replicas. Exclusive tables belonged to clear owners; reporting jobs and overnight batch windows did not. After two working sessions, the retailer adopted a dual rule: table-owned storage followed the application, while shared replica hours followed a fixed 40/35/25 split agreed by the owners. The following quarter’s briefing showed the same total spend but far less dispute in the finance close.
Preparing a portfolio handoff without a full estate rewrite
Application Portfolio Usage Review · B2B subscription product group
A product group leaving a shared cloud account needed usage profiles for five applications before legal transfer of cost centres.
Rather than opening every account in the company, we limited the review to the five applications and ninety days of billing exports. Each profile listed primary services, notable shared dependencies, and open tagging gaps. The receiving team used the pack in their acceptance checklist. One mild friction remained: two networking endpoints still lacked meters, so we flagged a temporary proxy until meters were enabled.
