Bring cost information together
Combine information from supported cloud billing sources, files and other systems. Normalise the data so different source formats do not prevent a useful comparison or consolidated report.
- Supported billing APIs, file imports and other agreed sources
- Common reporting structures across providers and environments
- Mappings aligned to your reporting needs
Include on-premises and private infrastructure
Cloud costs are only part of many organisations’ infrastructure expenditure. Include relevant on-premises and private infrastructure costs in the same reporting model, using agreed valuation and allocation assumptions.
- Public cloud and supported infrastructure in a common view
- Comparisons using a consistent scope and period
- Clear assumptions where costs do not arrive as a cloud bill
Organise spending around the business
Group expenditure by team, project, customer or application. Give people responsible for services and budgets a view that reflects their responsibilities, and keep unallocated spending visible.
Manage budgets and review changes
Use dashboards, budgets and alerts within the selected configuration to maintain visibility of expenditure. Review changes with the relevant owners and decide where further investigation is needed.
Support informed optimisation
Use a clearer view of expenditure and ownership to identify where costs need attention. Assess potential changes against service requirements and business priorities, then agree the action and responsibility for implementation.
