Individual Methods for Organization and Presentation of Cost

Financial departments sometimes find it difficult to efficiently combine variable cost structures with legacy methods for budgeting. Developer teams, on the other hand, put their focus on the provision of features. Cost is none of their primary concerns.

It is therefore even more important to create a mutual understanding of the respective requirements and transparency regarding cost for all parties involved.

Cost Data in Real-Time

You need a comprehensive documentation of cost and usage data to take objective decisions.

And this almost in real time. AWS offers you a central interface to manage resources and to analyze and graphically present cost and usage data. It is also possible to perform chargebacks for individual business branches. You will also profit from no longer having to set up static cost policies.

They are then completely transparent, and their elevated level of detail helps the individual departments to perform their accounting on their own.

Access

Do you want to provide your executives with easy access to AWS invoicing data?

An overview of expenditure, detailed service cost, split up by individual cost centers, and a list of all discounts and credits offers a comprehensive overview in the cloud. Therefore, you also have the possibility to combine invoices and in turn benefit from higher discounts for more intense usage. To give your executives always full control over cost, governance, and security, there are corresponding security controls. They can grant granular permissions to achieve a balance between freedom and control.

Optimization

Cost optimization with flexible estimates and budgets

The predictability of cloud cost regarding individual projects is particularly important for your enterprise. The autonomous acquisition and canceling of resources by individual teams has always been one of the strengths of the cloud concept. The did not have to obtain an approval, did not have to obtain anything, and did not have to install anything. This flexibility advantage, however, requires the adaptation to dynamic estimate and budgeting processes for the enterprise. With AWS, you can create estimates, based on your cost and usage history. If fixed limits for cost and data usage are exceeded, you will be informed immediately. It is also possible to define target parameters for Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. You can constantly track the convergence to these values and act if required.
