Cloud optimization

Use the cloud in a way that creates real value.

By optimizing cloud services, costs can be reduced and investments can be turned into a contribution to business success.

Maximize business value from the cloud with ODCUS

ODCUS empowers companies to build a cloud-centric value creation architecture that not only absorbs technological and business disruptions but transforms them into accelerated growth drivers – all while ensuring seamless and secure ongoing operations.

 

The focus is on a holistic cloud strategy with a clear, value-driven business roadmap, consistent governance, FinOps, and pragmatic continuity and change management. This is how we reliably and measurably guide your company to the desired level of cloud maturity and security.

Our services

  • Holistic perspective
  • Independent and neutral
  • Human-centered approach
  • Needs- and results-oriented

We cut overprovisioning and tune workloads for performance. Our approach - usage baseline, rightsizing and auto-scaling blueprints, reserved/spot pricing strategies, and architecture review aligned with the AWS/Azure/GCP Well-Architected Framework.

Your added value

  • Laufende Cloud-Kosten 20–40 % – live sichtbar im FinOps-Dashboard.

  • Higher performance (lower latency, faster deployments) without capacity risk.

  • Freed-up budget funds innovation instead of stagnation.

We embed cost control as a fixed process between engineering and finance. Our approach - tagging and cost allocation standards, budgets and alerts, showback/chargeback models, and monthly optimization sprints with KPI reviews.

Your added value

  • Glasklare Kosten je Team, Produkt oder Kunde – Ownership statt Schuldzuweisungen.

  • Early warning system prevents budget overruns and surprise invoices.

  • Finance and tech make decisions based on “$ per feature,” not rough estimates.

We seamlessly integrate your public, private, and hybrid clouds into your existing enterprise security. Our approach - cloud assets are first incorporated into the company-wide risk matrix; we then standardize control frameworks for identities, endpoints, network, and data protection. “Shift-left” guardrails catch misconfigurations early, telemetry flows into the existing SIEM/SOAR, and quarterly health checks ensure lasting effectiveness.

Your added value

  • Direct revenue protection — attacks are detected and stopped earlier; downtime is reduced, and lost revenue is avoided.
  • OPEX optimization — security controls are aligned with FinOps data; unnecessary resources are eliminated.
  • Lower liability and insurance risk — demonstrably reduced residual risk.
  • Faster time-to-market — developers deploy without security bottlenecks, enabling new products to generate cash flow sooner.
  • Predictable investments — Unified KPI reporting makes return on security transparent for the board and CFO; budgets are guided by EBIT impact, not gut feeling.

We migrate workloads to the cloud in a planned, secure, and near-zero-downtime manner. Our approach - 6R assessment, migration wave planning, landing zone design, automated data and app cutovers, and post-go-live optimization.

Your added value

  • Business-critical systems are migrated during maintenance windows – revenue remains unaffected.

  • TCO comparison of old vs. new proves ROI before the first byte is migrated.

  • Teams can operate the new stack independently – no ongoing consulting dependency.

What if it’s time to move on? We prepare you to transition to a more cost-effective alternative. Our approach - dependency audit, data portability check, container/VM blueprints, step-by-step plan for provider switch, and clarification of contracts and licensing.

Your added value

  • Negotiation leverage with hyperscalers: you can point to hard facts when prices increase.
  • No service gap: exit runbooks ensure that apps and data remain accessible during the transition
  • Cost transparency: upfront TCO comparison reveals whether staying, switching, or adopting a hybrid model is the most cost-effective scenario.
  • Technology remains usable: with standard blueprints, workloads continue running unchanged in the new environment – no refactoring nightmare.
