Our governance expertise for Cloud and AI usage.

Our approach spans every dimension of the IT function, from infrastructure to software and artificial intelligence. From initial design to actual usage, we connect each technical decision to its dual economic and environmental impact.

Cloud & AI Center of Excellence Governance

Without a decision body, Cloud and AI are steered case by case. Structuring rules, roles and trade-offs makes the whole estate governable at group level.

Layer 01

Strategy & Governance

Target operating model and RACI, decentralised governance, alignment of the AI use case portfolio.

Layer 02

Steering & Standards

Compliance policies, architecture guardrails, security by design, decision bodies.

Layer 03

Execution & Enablement

Rollout of the target model, team training, breaking silos between IT, Finance and business teams.

Platforms mastered by the firm's consultants.

FinOps & IT Budgets

Cloud spend drifts quickly once it is no longer allocated or forecast. Allocation, forecasting, budgets and anomalies become processes sustained over time.

Layer 01

Strategy & Governance

FinOps roadmap, Inform, Optimize and Operate phases, definition of roles and the associated culture.

Layer 02

Steering, Reporting & Budgets

FOCUS specification, allocation and internal chargeback, budget forecasting, continuous dashboards.

Layer 03

Execution & Waste Reduction

Anomaly detection, drift correction, negotiation of contracts and multi-year commitments.

Two-way link

FinOps and AI: a two-way relationship.

FinOps for AI

Governing the cost of generative AI usage: tokenomics, inference cost, model arbitration and value validation before industrialisation.

AI for FinOps

Using AI and machine learning to serve the practice: forecasting, anomaly detection, automated reporting and optimisation recommendations.

Certifications held individually by the firm's consultants.

GreenOps & Green IT

The environmental impact of IT is steered with the same data as cost. Sobriety becomes a governance criterion, backed by measurement rather than declarations.

Layer 01

Strategy & Governance

Environmental indicators embedded into existing governance, anticipation of CSRD requirements.

Layer 02

Steering & Measurement

CO₂e footprint assessment per workload, carbon dashboards coupled with financial dashboards.

Layer 03

Execution & Eco-design

Low-carbon region selection, runtime optimisation, training on responsible digital practices.

Certifications held individually by the firm's consultants.
