Why Cloud Cost Control Matters in Financial Services?

BFS industry faces strict compliance and long-term retention requirements. They need to store data for up to 7 years, which increases storage costs. PCI DSS and regulatory controls often force teams to stay on-premise or use hybrid setups.

  1. Absence of cost ownership: Shared accounts and unclear ownership slow audits and increase errors, especially when compliance demands precise tracking.
  2. Market spikes: Sudden bills appear during peak traffic, batch processing, and data replays. BFS workloads create unpredictable consumption that is hard to budget.
  3. Older stacks and cumbersome migrations: Legacy core banking and transaction systems need heavy testing and processing, increasing migration and cloud project costs.
  4. Delayed approvals: Procurement, risk, and compliance reviews take time. During these delays, cloud waste continues to accumulate. Excessive overprovisioning of SLAs: BFS teams over-size instances to avoid outages or compliance violations. This increases monthly cloud spend significantly.
  5. Compliance controls introduce services: Logging, encryption, auditing, and data residency requirements consume more resources. These controls raise costs, and Costimizer helps reduce this load without removing any compliance safeguards.
