Aimably redefines the practice of cost and billing management for Amazon Web Services with financial tools that meet the exacting standards of accounting professionals. With Aimably, accounting clerks can automatically record AWS invoices in their preferred accounting system, with accurate GL account, business unit, customer, and department categorizations, where previously invoices were entered by hand and categorized by rough estimate. With Aimably, financial planning and analysis experts can build detailed income statements with confidence in gross margin accuracy, even when building by-product or by-customer P&Ls, where previously categorization of AWS spending was based on estimates. With Aimably, institutional investors can build operating models based on detailed AWS cost bases of acquisition targets and well-researched cost reduction opportunities, where previously simple estimates were applied.

Cloud Repatriation Analyzer (CRA) evaluates public cloud workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, and DigitalOcean to calculate the financial and technical feasibility of migrating to bare-metal hosting. Core Functionality: - Multi-Cloud Asset Ingestion: Connects via read-only APIs to map resources across compute, storage, databases, and networking. - Automated Waste Identification: Scans 30-day usage metrics to detect ghost storage, idle instances, zombie load balancers, and egress leaks. - Target Topology Blueprinting: Maps cloud workloads to right-sized bare-metal nodes (e.g., Hetzner, OVH), modeling side-by-side Hybrid and Full Migration plans. - TCO & Payback Analytics: Calculates monthly OpEx savings, one-time setup costs, break-even timelines, and 1-, 3-, and 5-year Total Cost of Ownership projections. - Executive PDF Export: Produces exportable migration blueprints detailing resource-level actions, server benchmarks, and managed service dependencies.
