Every recommendation runs a closed loop

Skip, Plan, Approve, Realized — four stages that keep governance with you while the platform secures the full audit trail of every decision.

Skip
Documents, with a reason, why a recommendation was deliberately deferred.
Plan
Captures the preparation and planning before anything is changed.
Approve
Marks the formal sign-off — governance stays firmly with you.
Realized
Reports the actually measured saving once the change is live.

Questions, answered

What is the ROI of FinOps, and how soon can we expect results?+
ROI starts almost immediately, the first optimizations free up budget within weeks, while bigger structural moves land at your contract milestones, and savings compound as the practice matures. Beyond the numbers, FinOps also sharpens your structure, governance and process efficiency.
How does FinOps integrate with our existing tools and processes?+
Everything runs on the Zation FinOps Platform, your single source of truth across M365, Azure and GreenOps. It ingests your tenant and billing data directly, so there's nothing to export or wire up, and surfaces audit-ready data in under a day. The platform complements your existing tooling and the Azure Portal rather than replacing them.
How do we stay in control of every optimization?+
Every Azure recommendation runs through a closed loop of four stages, Skip → Plan → Approve → Realized. Skip records, with a reason, why a recommendation was deliberately set aside; Plan captures the preparation; Approve marks the formal sign-off; and Realized shows the actually measured saving. Governance stays with you, while the platform keeps a complete audit trail of every decision.
Where do the savings actually come from?+
It depends on your estate and where you focus, users or infrastructure. We plan the levers with you, then act: on M365, right-sizing licence types and reclaiming unused seats; on Azure, commitments, right-sizing and removing idle resources, so you never overpay for what you don't use.
What ongoing support do you provide once FinOps is implemented?+
FinOps is never a one-time fix, it's an ongoing process. Microsoft continuously updates its policies, products, and benefits, so we adapt. We actively manage commitments and refine optimization, following a crawl, walk, run maturity model for long-term success.
