Samax for CFOs
Your cloud spend can't keep beinga surprise at month-end close.
Samax translates the cloud invoice into the language of finance: what each business area costs, IT cost distributed across the areas that use it (what is known as chargeback) and reports ready for the board.
Spend predictability
30, 60 and 90-day projections based on history and seasonality. An automatic warning when consumption drifts from budget — before it becomes a problem at close.
Downtime is a P&L problem
Product downtime is lost revenue and customers at risk. Samax's DevOps operation keeps infra up 24/7, with 30-minute alerts for critical incidents — availability is a financial result too.
Return on record
Every change applied generates a record: projected versus realized savings. You show the board what it cost and what came back — with traceability.
A senior team without the hiring risk
Building an internal DevOps + FinOps team takes months, and a wrong technical hire is expensive. Samax places a complete, certified team inside yours — at a fraction of the cost and with no hiring risk.
From invoice to board in 4 steps
A process that turns the cloud invoice into information finance can actually use — from diagnostic to monthly report.
We connect to your cloud accounts (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) within 24h, in read-only mode. We map 100% of spend by cost center, identify resources with no owner, calculate active waste and deliver an exposure report before the end of the first week.
Every resource gets an owner (what engineering calls tagging), cost is distributed across the areas that use it, and the budget gets deviation alerts — without creating friction with technical teams.
Dashboards that speak the board's language: actual vs. budget, spend trend, projection with a margin of error, waste ranking by team and a history of every optimization action with its recorded impact.
Every month you receive realized savings, pending recommendations and the program's cumulative return. It is the document you bring to the board — complete, traceable, and without having to ask IT.
Board-ready reports
What changes in practice
The distance between operating in the dark and having real financial control over your cloud spend.
- Cloud invoice arrives as a single block — impossible to allocate by area without manual analysis
- Cost surprises discovered at month-end close, not during the month
- Distributing cost across areas is done in a spreadsheet, takes weeks and generates disputes
- No way to tell the board how much infrastructure each product consumes
- Cut decisions made on gut feeling — no impact data
- Cost automatically allocated by cost center, team, product and client
- Real-time alerts when spend exceeds 80% of budget — no surprises at close
- Cost distributed across areas in minutes, with a full audit trail
- Per-product dashboard shows exactly how much it costs to serve each client or unit
- Every optimization decision has a projected financial impact before and a record after
