We enable proper cloud management, from sizing
to cost allocation.
We enable proper cloud management, from sizing to cost allocation.
Nowadays, many key components of IT are available by consumption, in the form of service (as-a-Service). Analysts estimate that cloud service spending is set to grow by 40% per year.
The cloud’s variable spending model - from Capex to Opex - the difficulty of tracking ownership and the fact that consumption is spread across multiple systems and vendors with different metering systems are leading businesses to lose control of their spending.
Paradoxically, it is easier to ask for new resources than to manage and optimize existing ones!

With our Cloud Management (FinOps) service, we help businesses gain cloud cost visibility and spend optimization by applying best-practices and ad hoc tools for operational and financial governance of hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
We reduce waste by increasing the ability to properly scale virtual resources, improve financial management by allocating costs between functions, enable controlled self-service models and, support you in benchmarking cloud providers, to negotiate the most convenient contracts for your company.

You struggle to justify the cost items of the provider’s monthly invoice, because of "zombie" resources required by your users, activated and then forgotten. Even if you do not use them, you pay them because they are not tracked and known.
The development of new applications and infrastructure is slowed by long times to move applications and data between public cloud and on-premises. You can’t automate operations because of the inconsistency of environments and approaches.
In projects that migrate to the cloud, you may require more resources than are needed to base estimates on the characteristics of existing hardware or the data provided on the virtualization environment. But you also include unnecessary resources, spending much more than expected.
Between shadow IT and oversized resources, you fail to plan purchases. You would like to implement ITaaS models, but there is a lack of visibility mechanisms and information on the use of IT resources, for an informed and controlled consumption.

Lack of governance on cloud and hybrid environments has a significant impact on your budget. The statistics speak for themselves: 80% of the IaaS budget exceeded, 30% of "useless" cloud services that remain in subscription, spending increased up to 70% in the first 18 months in case of "shift to cloud". Measurement in Cloud Management is a key activity. To ensure compliance with planned costs and optimize your spending you should:
In managing the cloud, the approach that goes for the most is reactive, meaning that you require resources and subscriptions – PaaS, IaaS, SaaS – as the need arises. The people, functions and development figures involved often do so independently without going through IT. The lack of visibility and standardization of these environments, which overlap with on-premise environments and often split across multiple cloud providers, makes it difficult to allocate consumption and expenses and identify areas for optimization. First, you should have a complete picture of your global infrastructure, both cloud and on-premises. This allows you to be aware of contracted resources and also of the risks associated with possible unsupported configurations, unmanaged licenses, exposure to attacks, and you can operate in a way that ensure the availability and performance of your environments.
If the cloud is part of your future business plans to innovate and improve your IT infrastructure, you should make a "scientific" calculation of the amount of resources needed to run the applications you want to migrate. For a correct sizing, you have to analyze for a more or less long time the consumption of the infrastructure with the support of advanced scanning tools: you should have consolidated data on the infrastructure TCO, to plan purchases and choose the most suitable cloud plan.
To govern the the cost and consumption variability of the cloud, plus a unified view of your IT environment (on-premises, hybrid, multi-cloud) within a single control tower, you need an ad hoc financial practice, known as FinOps (Cloud Financial Management). It is a holistic model that includes actions, best practices and culture to manage the costs inherent in the cloud, favoring the insertion of mechanisms of chargeback and showback and of financial responsibility in the allocation of the expense. This allows your product, IT, and Finance teams to make decisions that increase business value.
To prevent over-provisioning, you should therefore set up a unique view on cloud consumption and costs: it would allow you to choose the most suitable cloud plan, do benckmarking between different cloud providers and sit at the negotiating table to negotiate from a strong position. But above all, consistency in management would facilitate the adoption of self-service portals controlled for your users, which can make correct and informed decisions about resources.

The procurement models introduced by DevOps and Agile and the complexity of hybrid and multi-cloud environments make it difficult to centrally manage consumption and costs.
We enable you to standardize your IT environments with a centralized management and control tool. You can size resources according to usage, reduce waste and encourage self-service.
