One platform, one source of truth

The Zation Platform is a Swiss-hosted SaaS for Microsoft FinOps. It connects your licence and cloud cost data with your individual conditions and your real usage — turning every optimization into something measurable, plannable and auditable. Instead of isolated reports, you get one control environment where finding, recommendation and implementation come together, refreshed daily.

M365 FinOps

Daily transparency over your full licence estate — assigned SKUs, real usage, role profiles and cost per user, department and location.

ActiveProfilingInactiveNonactiveDisabled

Azure FinOps

Optimize cloud cost along three phases — full visibility first, then what you run (usage), then what you pay for it (rate).

Concrete savings levers, automatically found

The platform identifies concrete savings levers and quantifies the potential per measure — so you act on numbers, not hunches.

Every measure gets a recommendation, a quantified potential and a full audit trail — from the finding all the way to the change that was made.

Role profiles make governance measurable

Every user maps to a role profile — Information Worker, Frontline, Power User — each with its own target, actual and deviation. The model makes governance systematic: over- and mis-licensing surface immediately, validated against real usage.

Azure FinOps

Azure cloud cost, optimized in three phases

First full transparency over your consumption, then the optimization of usage — what you run — and finally the rate — what you pay for it.

↻Daily refresh · showback & chargeback

Visibility you can attribute

Daily transparency over your whole cloud estate makes every cost stream attributable — cost per service, subscription, resource group and tag, allocated to cost centers via showback and chargeback.

Cost trends over time, ongoing budget monitoring and anomaly detection catch unexpected cost outliers before they become a surprise on the invoice.

GreenOps

Cut cost and carbon together

The platform reports the CO₂ footprint of your Microsoft workloads side by side with the financial cost — so sustainability is never a separate, after-the-fact exercise.

The very same measures that reduce your cost also lower emissions — and additional recommendations cut your footprint sustainably, ESG reporting included.

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

How quickly is the platform up and running?+

From invitation to actionable, audit-ready data in under a day. You set up the Enterprise App with read-only access — the daily sync then runs by itself. No exports, no manual prep, no multi-week project.

Does it cover both M365 and Azure?+

Yes — M365, Azure and GreenOps in one platform. Licence intelligence, cloud cost and the CO₂ footprint side by side, calculated on your real prices and conditions.

Do we stay in control of every change?+

Always. Access is strictly read-only — the platform never changes your environment. Every recommendation runs the closed loop Skip → Plan → Approve → Realized, so governance stays firmly with you, with a full audit trail.

Is GreenOps reporting an add-on?+

No. GreenOps is included by default — the CO₂ footprint of your workloads sits side by side with the financial cost, ESG-ready. Never an upsell.

How is the platform offered?+

In two service tiers — Foundation and Professional — depending on how hands-on you want our experts. See the FinOps Service for details, or start a free trial.
