IBM ApptioIBM Cloudability MSP
Drive your competitive advantage with efficient operations and FinOps services
Is your existing cloud management solution advancing your MSP business?
Managed Service Providers (MSP) face an increasingly complex challenge - working to support the evolving needs of cloud practitioners while effectively streamlining operations to drive profitable growth. Existing tools fall short – often lacking the ability to meet the operational needs of the MSP while empowering them to scale FinOps adoption and best practices across their entire customer base. And building in-house tooling can be costly and expensive to maintain, requiring frequent updates as cloud providers release new services or commitment instruments.
Traditional MSP tools do not provide:
- Single-pane-of-glass visibility across all managed spend
- FinOps analytics and optimization recommendations at both the MSP and customer level
- Efficient commitment management across customers to maximize coverage
- Simplified invoicing, with isolated customer billing and discounting
Expect more from your MSP tooling – scale profitably and tailor your offerings to support customers on their FinOps journey
FinOps is a cloud financial management discipline designed to maximize the value of cloud investments. IBM Cloudability MSP empowers your teams to leverage FinOps practices, efficiently manage complex cloud environments, and optimize costs, while streamlining customer management and billing processes.
Additionally, MSP customers receive direct access to the market-leading cloud cost management capabilities of Cloudability to allocate cloud costs back to those consuming cloud resources, monitor for spend anomalies, and create cloud budgets and forecasts.
