Agile working and close collaboration for quick results
SoftwareOne stepped in quickly, working to understand the company’s FinOps goals and analyzing how the organization managed its cloud resource use and spending. It met with key stakeholders from across the business to stay on top of developments in the customer’s FinOps environment, identify anomalies and capability gaps and look for ways to optimize practices. In effect, it operated as an extension of the company’s internal FinOps team.
Working with the company in an agile way, SoftwareOne was able to get up to speed rapidly and provide valuable support and guidance. The SoftwareOne team helped the company understand how to manage its cloud consumption and spending in better ways. It analyzed the existing cloud estate, right-sized resource use and savings plans and optimized configurations and other technical aspects for improved performance. It delivered insights that enabled the organization to get the most out of FinOps tools and processes, resolve problems faster and complete delayed optimization efforts. And it worked closely with key stakeholders across the organization, providing recommendations during weekly review sessions and monthly reports.
Whenever performance issues arose, SoftwareOne provided instant support. It quickly worked to identify anomalies, check configurations and make sure the right commercial optimization models were in place. This enabled the company to resolve problems faster than it could have through vendor support services, which saved not only time but money.
All of this produced meaningful and significant results in just a short period of time. This was vital for a customer with a complex IT estate that was spending millions of dollars each year for cloud services on AWS.
