Take back control of your cloud, AI, and SaaS spend with a method designed for the realities of Quebec organizations.
An invoice in US dollars, a budget approved in Canadian dollars, and a gap no one anticipated. For many Montreal organizations, cloud cost overruns do not primarily come from usage: they come from the fact that no one is managing the whole picture. Leonys supports finance and technology leaders in Montreal to make this spend transparent, reduce it where it is unnecessary, and put in place governance that lasts.
FinOps principles are universal. The conditions under which a Montreal organization applies them are not, and four of them change how costs are managed.
Exchange rates. Contracts with major cloud providers and most SaaS vendors are denominated in US dollars, while budgets are set in Canadian dollars. A few cents of variation is enough to invalidate a quarterly forecast. Serious management accounts for this effect in the forecast, instead of discovering it at close.
Data residency. Many Quebec organizations host their workloads in Canadian regions of AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, whose pricing differs from US regions. Since Law 25, communicating personal information outside Quebec requires a privacy impact assessment. Choosing a region becomes a trade-off between compliance, performance, and cost, and it must be documented.
Industries. Financial services, video games, artificial intelligence: the ecosystems driving Montreal’s digital economy are also those with the most volatile compute spend. AI costs, billed per token or per GPU, still fall outside tools designed for traditional infrastructure.
Energy. Quebec electricity, almost entirely hydroelectric, changes how the carbon footprint is assessed. For a given workload, the choice of region directly affects the GreenOps footprint.
Leonys works across the full technology spend (cloud, AI, SaaS, and licenses) and across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Certified by the FinOps Foundation, our consultants work in both French and English.
A Canadian investment group had its technology spend split across AWS, Azure, SaaS platforms, and legacy infrastructure, with no consolidated view and no clear owner by cost category.
Four Leonys experts mapped the entire landscape, allocated costs, and prioritized optimization levers.
Result: approximately $2M per year in identified savings, and a governance foundation to ensure these gains do not erode.
We do not deliver a report: we deliver results and an internal capability to manage. The engagement follows a 30-, 60-, and 90-day trajectory, in three phases.
Depending on your starting maturity, the first gains appear within a few weeks, and the reduction can reach 40% of technology costs.
No. A tool connected to absent governance exposes existing disorder without correcting it. We first clarify who decides, who allocates, and which tagging rules apply, then we help you choose the right tool, if one is needed.
Yes. Leonys works across Quebec and Canada from its Montreal office, and in Europe from Paris, in both French and English.
Yes, and it is often the best time. Putting a tagging policy and budget owners in place costs little when the bill is small, and much more once overruns have taken hold.
Thirty minutes is enough to identify your main savings opportunities and the first governance decision to make.
