Optimising your cloud environment
Better cloud health for better return on investment
Is your cloud strategy putting you ahead
or pulling you behind?
While moving to the cloud may have had its benefits, for many rising cloud costs are starting to outweigh the benefits. In fact, it's estimated $500 billion is wasted globally on wasted cloud resources. When did you last review your cloud environment and optimise it not only for performance but return on investment?
Lack of visibility
If you can't measure it, how can you improve it. By optimising your cloud, you can identify performance, resourcing and cost issues more easily.
Rising costs
Know where your biggest cloud costs lie and uncover ways to remove, better leverage, or rightsize your resources to better fit your needs.
Increasing risks
Better identify security risks in your cloud infrastructure and ensure adherence to data and security regulations and compliance programs.

Adopting better cloud financial management practices
Managing cloud spending efficiently can be a daunting challenge, especially as traditional financial management methods don't fit the cloud's unique financial and operational models. This has driven the rapid adoption of cloud financial management or FinOps - a transformative approach that aligns financial goals, nurtures cost-conscious cultures, and optimises cloud investments.
Adopting these approaches ensures that businesses not only survive but thrive in the cloud era. We suggest four key phases for adopting cloud financial management in your organisation.
