Evaluate provisioned throughput vs. pay-per-token pricing against usage patterns
Consolidate redundant AI tool subscriptions, API contracts, and vendor licenses
Establish usage monitoring and governance to forecast AI spend as adoption scales

Smart Procurement

Optimize costs and terms with data-driven sourcing and pricing benchmarks
Accelerate time to value by reducing procurement cycle time

Technology Expense Management (TEM)

Eliminate Unused/redundant circuits
Right-size port speeds based on actual usage
Renegotiate or run competitive processes for renewals
Mobility Plan Optimization
TEM Software

FinOps

Shut down idle cloud resources
Eliminate orphaned storage

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I reduce AI token and inference costs?

Start by right-sizing model selection, optimizing prompts and caching to cut token volume, and matching your pricing model (pay-per-token vs. provisioned throughput) to actual usage. Amplix’s free assessment identifies the highest-impact opportunities specific to your environment.

What is AI FinOps and why does it matter?

AI FinOps applies the same cost-governance discipline used for cloud spend to AI and LLM usage — monitoring, forecasting, and controlling token and inference costs as adoption scales, before they become an unplanned budget line.

How does Amplix help fund AI initiatives without new budget?

We uncover savings across your broader technology stack — contracts, infrastructure, mobility, managed services — and help you redirect those savings to fund AI initiatives, rather than requesting incremental budget.

What's included in the free AI cost assessment?

A 30-minute consultation and a review of your technology and AI/token spend, resulting in a prioritized savings roadmap and an executive-ready business case.

How is optimizing token costs different from general cloud FinOps?

Token and inference costs scale with usage patterns unique to AI workloads (model choice, prompt design, request volume) rather than provisioned infrastructure, so they need their own optimization approach layered on top of standard cloud FinOps practices.
