Start with insights. Act with context.

Argus delivers key insights. With the right people at the right time. It benchmarks your cloud estate financially and technically and offers the necessary context to go from insights to actionable insights. To do so, we apply our simple but effective PRO framework, which stands for Procure, Rightsize, Optimize.

Argus PRO framework

Accelerate innovation, save cost and a stable fundament? It is really possible and called FinOps.

Every phase creates value on a different level

Procure

More grip, lower cost and real control:

  • Reserve capacity and receive significant discounts (Reserved Instances and/or Savings Plan)
  • Fully transparant billing
  • Clear insights in all your subscriptions and metrics, such as users, usage, contract end dates and much more

Rightsize

Eliminate unnecessary cost, without sacrificing performance, by:

  • Terminate unused and orphaned resources
  • Scale down underutilized and oversized components
  • Enable workload-optimized instances with better cost efficiency

Optimize

Gain competitive advantage through advanced optimizations and modernizations.

  • Ensure more and better output from your development team and go-to-market quicker
  • Get AI ready and work data-driven with confidence.
  • Reduce external dependency for support and managed services

Internal alignment

IT wants to resolve technical dept, Business wants to innovate and Finance requests budget control. All three are important, but seem impossible to balance as long as internal stakeholders don't speak the same language.

We align organizations by correlating Azure costs to applications, processes and projects. You'll see workload costs, unexpected or high cost increases at a glance and what triggered them.

Improved predictability

Argus not only shows (historical) cost, it also supports forecasting. Our forecasting engine is ML-driven and uses advanced models to improve budget management.

Keep in control by setting budget on applications, processes and projects. Receive proactive alerts in case of unexpected anomalies in costs or usage patterns. No more surprises, get alerts before it is too late.

Optimize your Azure estate

Our ML-generated recommendations show you where to optimize your environment technically and financially. You can finally reduce cost without risking uptime or performance.

All recommendations come 'evidence-based' for human control. No black box, we share all metrics that led to our recommendations and the Argus AI assistant answers all your questions on cost, security, compliance and more.
