Cloud Services should make your life easier, right?
With so many businesses large and small moving to cloud-based services to handle their customer relations, communications and data storage it’s easy for busy decision makers to lose track the associated costs of their cloud services. Far too often, businesses of any size end up paying for services they don’t need or paying at noncompetitive rates.
Here are some of the ways Audit the Cloud saves your business money:
Invoice and Subscription Audit
Our signature audit service guarantees savings! Non-human cloud analytic programs and services can miss important savings or trends. Audit the Cloud uses analytics supported by knowledgeable cloud experts so that savings opportunities are overlooked! We look for overcharges, unused features, over-subscriptions, and billing errors by comparing your invoices to activity, employees and other relevant data.
Contract Negotiation
Often times businesses start off with a small cloud trial, then expand the services to the whole enterprise. Business needs change and competition along with volume drives costs of cloud-based services down.
Don’t get stuck paying rates that may have been good when you signed up but now don’t reflect the actual costs of service! Audit the Cloud will help you negotiate or renegotiate a contract that’s fair and reflects current market prices.
In Depth Cloud Security Audit
Organizations across the world have adopted cloud solutions to fulfill ever-changing, dynamic business needs. While enabling access to state-of-the-art technology, cloud solutions inherently introduce new cybersecurity challenges. We will help you gain visibility into your organizations current cloud risk profile and enhance your Cloud Security Program. By reviewing current Cloud Service Providers (CSP’s) security practices, evaluating the Shared Cloud Security Responsibility of the organization, and actively auditing Cloud implementations based on industry best practices, our Cloud Security Audit pulls the hood back on your organizations Cloud Security Posture.
Total, Independent Cost Analysis
Make sure the Cloud is really saving your business money and improving productivity! Audit the Cloud will help you determine which services are worth obtaining via the Cloud and which services are best kept in-house. We'll compare the total cost of your cloud services to in-house options so that you can make an informed decision. We'll also help you determine your organizations readiness to support the service. Unlike cloud consulting services that also have cloud services to sell, or have a stake in which cloud provider you choose, Audit the Cloud does not offer cloud-based services of its own; which means we can objectively find the best solutions for your business.
