Reduce your AWS costs with our billing service
Billing-as-a-Service (BaaS) is essentially the outsourcing of all aspects of managing the costs of your AWS account. We manage this essential function on your behalf, often resulting in reduced costs and improved services.
Benefits:
Gain valuable insights into AWS cost and usage data
Break free from the internal cost related to AWS cost management and visibility
“Billing-as-a-Service (BaaS) from EPI-USE has saved us a considerable amount of time, costs and hassle. They have given us excellent advice and guidance. We particularly like the user-friendly reports so we can see our AWS usage at a glance, and keep on top of our expenditure.”
