SolutionsBy teamFinOps & Cloud

Cloud and AI spend tied to what it is for, and to who owns it.

“What is the cloud bill paying for?”

Dotwork brings cloud and AI billing into the enterprise operating model in the FOCUS format, so every dollar of usage has an owner, a product and a place in the budget. FinOps teams keep their optimization tools; Dotwork connects what they find to the decisions finance and engineering make.

Built for

  • Cloud cost analysts
  • CTO
  • Engineering leaders
  • Platform teams
  • Product owners

Where to start

Cloud Spend Optimization

Start by bringing the cloud bill onto the model. AI spend and full application cost follow on the same structure.

The pressure

Cloud cost is visible. What it is for is not.

FinOps tools show usage by account and tag, but finance plans by product, capability and business unit. Untagged spend, shared costs and commitments get argued about every month, and AI usage is now a second bill growing faster than the first.

What it looks like today

  • Untagged and shared spend allocated by rule of thumb
  • Cloud cost reported apart from the product and budget it belongs to
  • AI token spend arriving on a new bill with no owner
  • Savings identified, but not carried into the plan

Methods and frameworks

Runs the methods you already use.

Dotwork does not ask your team to adopt a new method. The frameworks you run become views over the same model.

The model underneath

Every team, one model.

Executives, finance, architecture, the portfolio office, risk and the AI office each open their own views, over the same Enterprise Operating Model. When one team changes something, every other team sees it, and Dotwork AI reads all of it, stopping where the decision is yours.
