As enterprises ramp up their adoption of cloud and AI technologies, managing costs has become a growing challenge. Data platform spend is now one of the fastest-growing components of cloud expenditure, and misconfigurations can quietly consume millions of dollars each year. Addressing this pain point, PointFive has announced a major expansion of its Cloud and AI Efficiency Platform, bringing optimization capabilities to Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery in addition to its existing coverage of AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Unlocking Savings Across Data Platforms
PointFive now tackles the annual multi-billion-dollar opportunity presented by inefficient data platform usage. By unifying cloud infrastructure and data platforms within a single system, the platform enables teams to detect waste and capture savings that can be reinvested in AI workloads, innovation initiatives, or to reduce overall cloud spend.
“PointFive now brings continuous, context-powered optimization to the platforms where some of the most significant and fastest-growing cloud spend lives. The same intelligence, the same results — across the complete stack,” said Sharon Gross, Vice President of Product at PointFive.
The platform surfaces over 400 savings opportunities through its DeepWaste™ detection engine, identifying the highest-impact areas and validating them with full technical context. This approach allows teams to remediate waste without lengthy investigations or disruptive context switching.
Optimize Your Data Platform
PointFive’s expansion applies the same rigor and accuracy it has brought to cloud infrastructure optimization across every layer of enterprise data platforms:
- Snowflake: Right-size warehouses, remove pipelines feeding unused tables, and reduce Time Travel and FailSafe storage bloat.
- Databricks: Optimize cluster configurations, align scaling settings with workload requirements, and eliminate unused tables and volumes.
- BigQuery: Detect reservation waste, optimize slot commitments, and remove jobs feeding stale data assets.
Once waste is identified, AI-assisted, agentic remediation closes the loop. One-click, AI-generated Infrastructure-as-Code delivers fixes locally with built-in human-approval flows. Integration with agentic IDEs such as Cursor and Windsurf, as well as collaboration tools like Slack, Jira, and ServiceNow, ensures that every action is tracked and tied to real financial impact.
Read-Only, Secure, and Private
Security and governance remain a priority. PointFive operates as metadata-only and read-only, meaning it optimizes environments without touching production workloads. Query text analysis is opt-in, and metadata collection runs on isolated compute resources, ensuring zero impact on live systems. Dedicated service accounts with strictly read-only permissions preserve enterprise control while delivering actionable insights.
Beyond Visibility: Intelligence Across Your Complete Footprint
PointFive’s data platform expansion is powered by InfraFabric, its continuous cloud, AI, and infrastructure data fabric. InfraFabric maps cost, usage, telemetry, ownership, and dependencies into a living model of the entire environment, connecting cloud infrastructure and data platforms to make AI-driven optimization actionable.
PointFive’s AI assistant, Pointer, delivers fully contextualized answers to savings opportunities, explaining which workloads drive unnecessary spend, which teams own them, and what remediation options exist, without requiring SQL queries or tickets to specialized teams. Additionally, AI Co-Workers can continuously monitor environments, surface opportunities, and route actions automatically, all while adhering to governance guardrails.
Driving Enterprise Efficiency With Context and Control
PointFive positions itself as an optimization practice built for the way enterprises operate: continuously, across all layers of the stack, and with full intelligence and control. Its expansion into Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery enables organizations to capture previously hidden efficiencies, reduce waste, and free resources for strategic initiatives, all without disrupting ongoing operations.
