The foundation of our work at PROTOS Technology is secure and digitally sovereign cloud infrastructures, inextricably linked to an excellent FinOps strategy for our customers. With Billing Transfer, we enable end customers to optimize ongoing costs through discount models.
What does this innovation mean specifically for companies that rely on AWS?
Focus on Optimizing Ongoing Operating Costs
In dynamic cloud environments, technical complexity inevitably leads to increased operating costs without targeted management. Our established FinOps framework addresses this issue directly, enabling us to sustainably optimize our customers' ongoing costs. With AWS Billing Transfer, we are now integrating another powerful component into this framework: By switching to the new model, we give our customers direct access to discounted billing options. Depending on the individual infrastructure, this step enables significant savings of between 8% and 20% of total monthly costs.
Seamless Integration Without Loss of Control
The transition is technically seamless and occurs discreetly in the background. A crucial advantage for our customers:
- Existing account structures and the contact information stored in the management account remain unchanged. It is also important to note that the root user account remains with the end customer.
- The customer retains full administrative control over the AWS environment at all times.
- With AWS Billing Transfer, PROTOS Technologie GmbH handles invoicing for AWS to the end customer and passes on any applicable discounts.
Holistic Optimization Beyond the Standard
Simplifying billing processes and immediately reducing monthly operating costs are just the starting point of our collaboration. Embedded within the PROTOS FinOps Framework, our clients benefit from continuous lifecycle management: Regular reviews identify cost-intensive resources and continuously optimize the existing infrastructure. Furthermore, we proactively support our clients in accessing AWS funding programs to secure additional budget benefits in the form of cashbacks or cloud credits. This standardized process relieves IT teams of administrative tasks and creates the necessary space for cloud engineering and the stable operation of business-critical applications.
