Cloud Cost Management & Optimization
Optimize cloud resources for cost, speed, and quality
A Revolution in Infrastructure Procurement
Public cloud has completely revolutionized how organizations procure IT infrastructure. It is now possible to provision servers and software applications in moments instead of months, with decisions made by decentralized teams of engineers and no longer gated by finance.

This necessitates breaking apart consolidated cloud bills of millions or billions of lines, assigning costs back to the business groups responsible, and surfacing opportunities for cost savings.
