WHY SHERPA

Get a full cloud team's results, without hiring one.

A FinOps engineer, an SRE and a cloud security engineer cost about $500–600K a year (estimate). Sherpa gives the team you have what they would: answers across cost, security and operations, and a fix for every finding.

✓One platform across cost, security, operations and migration.
✓A fix plan for every finding.

LEVEL 1

AWS Transform on the server exports

What went in: the virtualisation exports.
419 servers priced. A compute number for a server list; databases, storage and platform services left out.
LEVEL 2

Plus measured usage

What went in: the exports, plus the discovery tool's usage data.
412 servers priced. The sizes improved; the questions did not. Still no owners and no scope decisions.
LEVEL 3

With Sherpa

What went in: plus nine application questionnaires, recorded sessions, planning forms and the business goals.
350 servers in the scope the business agreed. Which 79 to keep or retire, who owns what moves, a wave plan, risks with owners, and a price traceable line by line.
