IS YOUR CLOUD INVESTMENT BECOMING UNTETHERED FROM BUSINESS VALUE?
EMPOWER YOUR PEOPLE TO BETTER MANAGE THE VALUE OF CLOUD.
Moving into the Cloud was an easy sell. More flexibility, limitless scale and an OpEx budget – where do we sign? As a Cloud environment grows though, the decentralized and variable nature of Cloud consumption begins to work against organizations.
Efficiency gains are undermined by “waste” – unused resources spun up by disconnected teams with no oversight of the big picture. Soon Cloud costs are out of control and the CFO wants answers.
The best answer? Cloud FinOps.
WHERE ARE YOU ON THE CLOUD FINOPS MATURITY CURVE?
The first step is an objective measure of your maturity. We find most organizations are currently at the Crawl stage: Our deep Cloud FinOps experience has shaped our measured approach that can be tailored to fit your specific situation. Start where it makes the most sense for you.
If you are in the Crawl phase, you currently rely on manual processes and basic reporting. We help you establish a FinOps foundation, using the FinOps tool of your choice, to:
- Understand and visualize cloud spending patterns
- Allocate costs to teams and projects
- Implement basic cost optimization measures
- Build awareness of cloud financial responsibility
Here you are set up to do more monitoring and governance, with granular cost allocation and proactive forecasting. Presidio levels you up with capabilities to:
- Optimize cloud resource utilization.
- Implement budget management and forecasting.
- Measure and report on FinOps performance.
The Run phase is not a destination, but a continuous operation powered by real-time cost visibility, automated and predictive analytics, and proactive spend management. Presidio is dedicated to getting you here by empowering you to:
- Achieve unit cost economics.
- Maximize ROI on cloud investments.
- Keep improving FinOps maturity.
- Integrate a FinOps culture throughout the organization.
Presidio’s deep experience has helped us develop a unique Cloud FinOps Framework, which is applicable to AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
