Most governance efforts stall in planning. At CloudLattice, we deliver a hands-on, 5-week engagement that ends with a complete Governance Blueprint: enforced policies, reporting dashboards, RACI clarity, and a sustainment roadmap. Week 5 includes documentation, live demos, and a full knowledge transfer so teams can scale governance confidently — with or without us.

In Weeks 3 and 4, CloudLattice helps enterprises operationalize cloud governance by automating Azure and AWS policy enforcement, extending controls to hybrid environments with Azure Arc, and building centralized dashboards using Power BI and Cost Explorer. We track key KPIs like tag compliance, cost variance, and policy adherence, delivering clarity for finance and actionable insights for engineering. The result: governance that’s real, automated, and measurable.

In Week 2, CloudLattice helps enterprise teams build a FinOps-ready governance foundation by co-designing a unified tagging strategy, defining cross-cloud budget thresholds, and establishing clear roles through RACI planning. We enforce tagging policies with Azure Policy, implement budget alerts in Azure and AWS, and align finance and engineering stakeholders. The result is a practical, enforceable governance model that drives cost control and shared accountability.

In Week 1 of our Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Governance engagement, CloudLattice guides enterprises through cloud discovery, tagging audits, policy reviews, and hybrid governance evaluation using Azure Arc. Through hands-on tooling, stakeholder interviews, and compliance assessments, we uncover gaps and build the foundation for actionable governance. This structured kickoff aligns finance and tech leaders on visibility, accountability, and control.

Many enterprises struggle with hybrid and multi-cloud governance due to inconsistent tagging, siloed budgets, and fragmented policies. CloudLattice solves this with unified discovery, automated policy enforcement, cross-cloud budgeting, and centralized reporting—empowering finance and tech leaders to regain control, transparency, and compliance across Azure, AWS, and on-prem environments.

Many enterprises fail to realize the full savings from Azure Reserved Instances due to siloed decision-making across finance, procurement, and engineering. Misaligned scopes, overcommitted capacity, and lack of governance lead to underutilization and wasted spend. CloudLattice helps organizations align RI strategy with architecture and cost goals through usage analysis, automation, and quarterly rebalancing—delivering clarity and control at scale.

A $2M Azure bill isn't just a sign of high spend—it's often a sign of weak governance. Without regular RI reviews, shared scope planning, and cross-team coordination, enterprises leave significant savings on the table. Missed opportunities like underutilized RIs, dev/test waste, and subscription sprawl quietly erode value. CloudLattice helps close these gaps with automated dashboards, quarterly checkpoints, and executive-ready insights to bring cost discipline back into rhyth

Cloud cost doesn’t have to be a burden—it can be a lever for growth. Strategic FinOps starts with how infrastructure is designed: enforced tagging, usage-based insights, and culture that empowers engineers to make cost-aware decisions. At CloudLattice, we help organizations embed FinOps into Azure environments from day one, making spend transparent, scalable, and aligned with business value. Want to turn infrastructure into a growth enabler? Let’s talk.

Enterprises do not have to choose between flexibility and savings. Azure offers shared scopes, size flexibility, and smart cancellation options—if used correctly. Most RI waste happens not from lack of options, but from lack of governance. CloudLattice helps enterprises rebalance quarterly, scope strategically, and build real-time RI visibility into their architecture—so savings and agility can finally coexist.

Inaccurate Azure cost forecasts can be caused by misaligned Reserved Instance usage rather than by flawed budgeting. When RI behavior isn't factored into forecasting models, finance teams rely on incomplete data while engineering changes break alignment. CloudLattice helps enterprises close this gap by auditing RI utilization, integrating infrastructure insights into forecasts, and delivering executive-ready models that bring clarity and predictability to Azure financial plan

Azure costs rising without warning? You’re not alone—and it’s not just about usage. High-performing teams design for cost control by building ownership into their infrastructure, aligning metrics to outcomes, and automating governance. At CloudLattice, we help orgs turn reactive cost reviews into proactive architecture strategies. Ready to shift from surprises to clarity? Let’s talk.
