Commercial terms
We negotiate commitments, discounts and support terms directly with the provider.
What we do
Negotiation sets the price of each unit of cloud. Optimization finds the units the business is paying for and does not need. The two work together, and either can come first.
Waste detection
Specialist tooling finds idle, oversized and orphaned resources across every account.
Quantified findings
Each finding comes with its dollar value, so the business decides what to act on.
Data and AI platforms
Snowflake, Databricks and Kubernetes, alongside the major clouds.
How an engagement runs
Share your cloud bills
Recent invoices and your current agreements.
Find the savings
On price and on usage, each finding valued.
Negotiate and remediate
Terms renegotiated and waste removed, with no disruption to production.
DEAL IQ ON CLOUD
Price and consumption, both.
Our cloud practice pairs Deal IQ’s commercial negotiation with specialist optimization partners chosen for each environment, so price and usage are handled together.
