Problem
Enterprises running workloads on AWS and GCP face fragmented cost data, manual budgeting processes, and rigid reservation contracts that lock them into fixed pricing while usage fluctuates. This results in hidden waste, high engineering overhead, and limited visibility into sustainability metrics.
Solution
North delivers an AI‑driven FinOps platform that centralizes cloud financial data from AWS and GCP into a single, real‑time dashboard. Machine‑learning models continuously analyze usage patterns to recommend and automatically apply liquid commitment adjustments, eliminating the need for long‑term reservations. The system automates cost allocation, budgeting, and chargeback without requiring manual tagging, while providing instant spend insights through an in‑app conversational assistant. Integrated sustainability analytics map carbon, water, and energy impact per workload, enabling organizations to track and report ESG goals. Role‑based access controls and SOC 2‑aligned security isolate financial data, allowing finance and engineering teams to collaborate safely. All optimizations run on a read‑only IAM integration that can be deployed in minutes, delivering immediate savings without altering existing infrastructure.
Target Audience
The primary users are FinOps, cloud engineering, and finance teams at mid‑size to large enterprises that operate multi‑cloud environments on AWS and GCP.
