Attribution & Tagging

Removing traditionally overlooked roadblocks is essential for every action that happens down stream. It builds trust in the data, and provides clarity on what needs to happen where.

Problem

By now you will have probably learned that tagging is very important. It is a key component to accurate cost attribution. Yet the tagging that comes natively in cloud platforms is always incomplete, incorrect or stale, no matter how diligent your business is. Even with features like auto-tagging, swathes of your cloud estate remain untagged or stuck in time. That's without taking into account multi-cloud, acquisitions, or other business change events.

Old way

Traditionally, to fix and maintain it requires significant engineering time. Even then it is obsolete the minute you complete, as cloud-native tags are static. They also don't go cross-technology without substantial maintenance effort and governance, and often lack business context. The result of stale tagging is that downstream insights become generalized. Subsequent conclusions from that data, are too general to be of use, and do not get actioned by engineering. Repetitive manual reporting queries and analysis ensue on the FinOps (financial operations) side to fill in the blanks. All of which is overhead on top of cloud costs.

"Optimaze removes the challenge of tagging and cost attribution altogether"

New way

At OPTIMAZE we realized that this is part of the root of the issue when it comes to being efficient in the cloud at scale. We have built a solution that saves your teams up to 90% in time spent on tagging and attribution. It keeps your tags updated, error free and up to 100% attributed in real-time. It even enriches cost data with various contextual layers to improve accuracy and granularity. This gives teams on the ground all the financial clarity they need to action cost saving opportunities and to track and report back the improvement in real-time.

Features

Optimaze is an AI-native cloud economics platform that turns messy cloud bills into financial clarity and real savings. We make cost performance measurable and actionable —for engineers, finance, executives, basically everyone— and we bill based on achieved outcomes.
