Why Yemberzal

Senior, specialist, and priced before we start.

Large banks have whole teams making sure nothing in their cloud is left to chance. We bring that standard to firms that don't.

  1. AWS only

    One cloud, known in depth: its pricing models, its resilience patterns and its migration tooling.

  2. Senior-led, start to finish

    The architect who scopes the work does the work. No account managers, and no hand-offs to junior staff.

  3. Published, fixed prices

    Every diagnostic is fixed-fee and priced on this site. You know the cost before we start.

  4. Built for regulated environments

    We work the way a regulated firm needs work done in its accounts.

If our audit doesn't identify savings opportunities worth at least 3x the audit fee (annualised), the fee is fully refunded.

For AWS accounts spending £2,500 or more a month. How it works

How an engagement works

You always know the next step, and its price.

Four steps. You can stop after any of them, and you'll know what the next one costs before you take it.

Step 01

A free 30-minute call

An honest view of whether we can help, and which diagnostic fits. If we can’t help, we’ll say so.

Step 02

A fixed-fee diagnostic

An audit or assessment, with a written report you keep whatever you decide next.

Step 03 · Optional

Implementation, if you want it

A fixed-fee sprint or project, quoted from the diagnostic's findings. Or take the report and do it yourselves.

Step 04

Ongoing care

A monthly retainer that keeps savings and resilience from drifting back.
