Product or Service Overview
Cloud is the driving force powering digital transformation today. But harnessing the cloud in all its forms — whether it’s new digital revenue streams, smarter ways of working, on-demand software applications, data and infrastructure services, or delivering superlative customer experiences — can be an overwhelming proposition. We start with the business outcome you’re after and radically rethink how cloud technology can help you get there more quickly, by combining the power of our software Accelerators, industry know-how and robust cloud engineering capabilities. Fast forward your business with PwC’s Cloud Transformation solution — a business-first approach to leveraging cloud.
Our cloud strategies take an agile approach to FinOps to help enterprises align their cloud expenditures with business value. With a cross-functional lens on people, process & technology we systematically guide clients through the FinOps lifecycle providing tangible value at every stage:
- Increasing cloud spend transparency across the enterprise
- Identifying and tactically solutioning cloud spend optimization opportunities
- Developing processes and governance to sustain and mature cloud spend operations
Enabling sustained cost efficiency and financial accountability in cloud operations allows enterprises to transform cloud spending into a competitive advantage, enabling cloud-powered innovation and helping to drive sustainability.
Maturity Assessment: Provides a way to objectively identify FinOps gaps within an organization across six dimensions and 40 capabilities. The tool compares the organization’s practices with different levels of FinOps maturity ranging from non-existent to world-class (industry leading practices). In addition, the tool uses integrated AI to summarize findings and recommendations to integrate appropriate terminology.
Cloud Cost Assurance Tool: Connects directly into a client’s Cloud environment to provide a view of inefficient or poorly allocated workloads, suboptimal deployments and unnecessary Cloud spend, used primarily for Cloud cost optimisation and Cloud unit economics. Using CCA, we can provide visibility of Cloud costs, identify cost optimisation opportunities, capitalise on quick wins and support our clients to optimise their Cloud expenditure.
FinOps Analyzer: This Accelerator is focused on a two-prong strategy of promoting cloud transparency and delivery of immediate cloud cost savings recommendations to management. The tool extracts, summarizes and presents the large data sets in a structure that is easily understandable. The tool also identifies patterns in the data that signifies potential opportunities to quantify and deliver cloud cost savings.
