IBM Cloudability Feature
Cloud Financial Planning
Forecast and optimize your future cloud costs
Break free from spreadsheet-based forecasting
As cloud service usage grows, so does the struggle to accurately forecast and budget for cloud costs.
Relying solely on past trends when forecasting oversimplifies the process and doesn’t account for planned new spend or changing business activity. Cross-functional collaboration efforts often depend on spreadsheet-based, manual processes that are error-prone and inaccurate. IBM Cloudability Financial Planning helps you break free from the spreadsheet and accurately forecast future cloud spend.
