Cloud cost optimization

One driver to stay ahead in the competitive MedTech landscape

Cloud platforms have become the backbone of many digital health solutions — enabling connected devices, data-driven services, and new business models. As these solutions mature, the focus shifts from innovation to operational scalability and commercial viability. Especially in MedTech, where the complexity of digital use cases and strict compliance requirements such as cybersecurity, data retention, and auditability contribute significantly to operational cost, the underlying cloud infrastructure often becomes a major cost driver.

In a competitive landscape shaped by cost-sensitive healthcare systems and increasing pricing pressure, aligning cloud operations with the business model of a product becomes essential.

As an experienced partner in designing, implementing, and operating digital health solutions, we help MedTech companies optimise their cloud spend across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud — without compromising compliance, performance, or product functionality. 

Our comprehensive services

We offer a structured, hands-on service to identify and realise cost savings in cloud-based MedTech products and platforms:
  • White line illustration of a map pin containing a lightbulb with a gear inside, placed above a dotted path on a solid blue background, representing innovation or ideas, in a ZEISS design context.

    In-depth analysis

    We begin with a comprehensive review of the existing cloud setup, focusing on identifying cost drivers that are misaligned with the product’s usage patterns, compliance requirements, or pricing logic. This includes infrastructure, workloads, and compliance-relevant services.

  • White icon of a light bulb and pencil inside a location pin above a dotted line on a solid blue background, representing innovation or ideas, featured on a ZEISS product website.

    Tailored action plan

    Based on the analysis, we develop a concrete optimisation roadmap. It outlines specific technical measures — such as architectural adjustments, service consolidation, or configuration changes — each backed by a clear rationale and implementation path.

  • White location pin icon with a gear and rocket symbol inside, placed above a dotted line path on a blue background, representing ZEISS.

    Cost reduction estimation

    Where needed, we conduct proof-of-concept implementations to validate the savings potential of selected measures. For every recommendation, we provide a transparent estimation of both potential savings and implementation effort, enabling informed prioritisation and investment decisions.

  • A checklist icon inside a location marker with a dotted path on a blue background, representing a ZEISS process or workflow.

    Efficient implementation

    Our teams take over the implementation of the identified measures, applying FinOps principles and best practices in cloud-native architecture to ensure that cost savings are realised without compromising compliance or performance.

Your potential engagement models

We offer two commercial models to match your different procurement strategies and risk preferences:

Time & material

A classic consulting and implementation engagement, based on actual effort. Ideal for clients who prefer full transparency and control over scope and delivery.

Success-based

Billing is based on a share of the actual savings realised post-implementation in the first months. This model reduces upfront investment risk as costs only occur when measurable results are delivered.
