Fin OPS – SAP & AI Consulting Partner

Cloud and Infrastructure

Your Cloud Bill Is Growing. Your Business Value From It Shouldn’t Be Guessing.

Candent’s FinOps practice brings cost visibility, governance, and structured optimization to SAP and enterprise workloads on AWS and GCP.

Our Capabilities

From Sprawl to Governed Infrastructure, Step by Step.

Cloud Cost Visibility and Attribution

Full spend visibility across AWS and GCP, mapped to business units, applications, and SAP workloads. Tagged, reported, and owned.

SAP Workload Right-Sizing

Compute, memory, and storage profiles reviewed against actual SAP usage patterns. Eliminate waste without affecting system performance or SLAs.

Reserved Instance and Commitment Planning

Reserved instance and savings plan coverage reviewed and optimized across your cloud accounts. Pay for what you’ll use, not what you provisioned two years ago.

FinOps Governance and Operating Model

Cost ownership assigned to teams. Budgets, alerts, and anomaly detection configured. Governance that runs after the engagement ends.

Cloud Cost Forecasting and Budgeting

Forward-looking cost models aligned to your SAP roadmap, AI build-out, and infrastructure expansion plans. Finance and IT working from the same numbers.

Autonomous Cost Control

Policy-driven automation that identifies idle resources, rightsizing opportunities, and scheduling efficiencies without manual intervention. Cost optimization running continuously, not quarterly.

Designed For

Three Situations Where a FinOps Engagement Makes Sense

Post-migration cost shock

The SAP migration to cloud is complete. The expected savings haven’t materialized. Cloud spend is higher than the on-premise baseline and nobody has a clear picture of why.

Multi-account sprawl

Multiple AWS or GCP accounts, inconsistent tagging, and no centralized visibility. Finance is forecasting from invoices. IT is managing tickets.

Scaling AI and data workloads

New AI and data platform initiatives are adding cloud cost at a pace the current governance model wasn’t designed for. Spend is accelerating ahead of any budget model.

How We Work

Assessment Before Optimization. Every Time

FinOps engagements that start with rate negotiation before understanding the workload miss most of the opportunity. Candent begins with a structured cloud cost assessment.

Current state review: cloud accounts, spend by service and team, tagging coverage, reserved instance utilization, and workload profiles
Waste and rightsizing analysis: idle resources, over-provisioned compute, orphaned storage, and redundant data transfer
Governance gap analysis: cost ownership model, budget alerting, anomaly detection, and reporting cadence
Optimization roadmap: prioritized actions ranked by savings potential and implementation effort
Operating model design: how cost governance runs on an ongoing basis, including tooling, accountabilities, and automation

From assessment to operating model, the scope and timeline are agreed before work begins.

Why Candent for FinOps

Cloud Cost Optimization Is Harder When You Don’t Understand the SAP Workload.

Generic FinOps tooling doesn’t know that an SAP HANA instance can’t be stopped on a schedule, or that a batch job window determines when rightsizing is safe. Getting the cost down without destabilizing the workload requires SAP delivery experience and cloud infrastructure knowledge working together. Candent brings both.
