Our Strategic Blue experts

Rate optimization with RI & SP commitments is ideally suited to specialist third-party approaches. It requires no specific knowledge of what you’re doing in the cloud, how you’ve configured services to work together and what outcomes they’re delivering. 

The key aspects of a successful approach can be applied equally well to any organization:

  • Analytical tools that match usage patterns to the AWS pricing model
  • Strategies that can account for the bigger picture, react to usage changes and adapt to organization’s individual priorities 
  • Automation that ensures timely access to the right information and reliable execution of the right actions
