About us
Discover moat55’s Journey
moat55 was developed by the founding team behind Optima, leaders in cloud advisory and software license optimization. What began as an internal automation tool to reduce our own consulting workload has evolved into a full-fledged SaaS platform — now available to IT teams, procurement leaders, and partners globally.
Built by experts
With over two decades of hands-on consulting experience and insights drawn from hundreds of enterprise engagements, moat55 embeds real-world expertise into every assessment it delivers.
Proven by experience
The platform’s logic, scoring, and recommendations are not theoretical —they’re shaped by the IP we’ve refined through years of high-stakes software audits and cloud migration planning.
Simplifying adoption
We`re proud to democratize the intellectual property, making it available as a powerful, self-serve solution for enterprises and partners who want to move faster, stay compliant, and optimize smarter.

Platform
Lightweight by Design. Flexible by Nature
moat55 doesn’t rely on intrusive agents or rigid discovery tools. Instead, it seamlessly ingests data from your existing systems
Analytical Ethos
At its core, moat55 is driven by a strong analytical foundation — delivering exactly what it promises, without the noise.
Purpose built – Zero Bloat
We’re not trying to replace ITAM platforms — we’re built for the 95% of organizations that just need clear, accurate answers without the overhead.
Driven by value
We believe in transparency over complexity, and value over inflated pricing. Our reasonable pricing model reflects that — no bloated consulting fees, no lock-in, just the insights you need, when you need them.
Faq
At moat55, our pricing is designed to be fair, flexible, and aligned to your goals.
In many cases, assessments — especially those related to cloud migration — are fully funded through partnerships with cloud providers like AWS, meaning there’s no cost to you.
For other services, we operate on a threshold-based model. If your usage falls below our minimum engagement level, you can access the platform free of charge. Above that threshold, we offer simple, transparent pricing tailored to the scope of your needs.
Bottom line: If you’re getting started, there’s a good chance you can use moat55 for free — and if not, you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for. Get in touch with our team to discuss your situation
At moat55, we take security and privacy seriously — because we know your data is mission-critical.
Our platform is built on secure, scalable AWS infrastructure and has undergone rigorous security assessments, including a comprehensive Well-Architected Framework Review. We
conduct regular penetration testing and continuous threat monitoring to ensure your data stays protected at all times.
In most cases, your data will be deleted upon completion of the assessment, unless otherwise agreed — giving you full peace of mind and control.
