Cloud Asset Management

Reducing costs, mitigating risk, gaining control of your cloud estate

Cloud & DevOps have disrupted the traditional procurement of IT resources, adding an additional layer of complexity to the financial management of IT assets in the Cloud :

  • Engineers & developers can now request new Cloud resources and spend company money at will, every minute of the day
  • Cloud spend is variable and less predictable and Finance has limited/no visibility on who is spending what
  • It is difficult to break down Cloud costs and evaluate Cloud spend against key business metrics to determine business value

Cloud FinOps allows you to take advantage of the variable cost model of Cloud and maximize business value, ensuring you get best value for every € spent in the Cloud.

 

Why Cloud FinOps?

Cloud & DevOps have disrupted the model of managing major components of IT expenditure.

A key consideration for all Cloud Transformation projects

The success of a Cloud Transformation journey doesn’t start or stop with the migration to Cloud. It starts well before this step and will depend on how you manage your Cloud afterwards. Cloud FinOps is a key function to support in achieving this success.

Our approach to Cloud FinOps

Cloud FinOps combines the financial (budget, cost models..) and operational (infrastructure, app & data) perspectives of Cloud, with the goal to optimize the overall cost of resource consumption to maximize the return on Cloud investments.

Our approach to Cloud FinOps is executed in a lifecycle loop consisting of 3 phases – Inform, Optimize & Operate – that continuously examines Cloud use, identifies optimization opportunities and builds them incrementally into the organization.
