    Overview

    Telefonica Tech UK - AWS FinOps Consulting and Managed Service

    Organisations waste up to 30% of their cloud spend. Telefonica Tech's Cloud Propel offering helps you reclaim that value through a structured FinOps consultancy and managed service built on three pillars: maximising business value, enabling data-driven decisions, and creating a financial culture across engineering, technology, and finance teams.
