Spanish Point Technologies has launched its smart cost optimisation service, a fully managed offering for independent software vendors (ISVs).
Leveraging the Microsoft FinOps toolkit, the service is free of charge for Spanish Point Technologies’ cloud solution provider (CSP) customers and helps ISVs monitor, analyse, and manage cloud costs across subscriptions and services.
The service is part of the Smart AIM product suite, Spanish Point’s Azure DevOps accelerator, providing pre-built libraries and framework services for efficient cloud migration and optimisation.
“As a global software company, Spanish Point has a unique understanding of the cost management challenges faced by ISVs," said John Corley, CEO of Spanish Point Technologies.
"Our new Smart Cost Optimisation Service, developed from our own experience, gives CSP customers the clarity and control they need to optimise cloud spend across all subscriptions.”
Catherine Doyle, general manager at Microsoft Ireland, added: "Spanish Point Technologies is pioneering the delivery of Microsoft's FinOps toolkit as a managed service.
"This solution enables ISV customers to save money and manage their cloud costs more easily. Which means our partners can focus on their main business goals while having better control over their cloud spending.
"This initiative exemplifies our commitment to helping our partners succeed and grow."
The benefits of the service include reporting on cost and usage across multiple accounts and subscriptions in separate tenants.
It can also run advanced analytical queries and reporting on year-over-year cost trends in seconds, and report on negotiated and commitment discount savings for EA billing accounts and MCA billing profiles.
The service provides a complete view of costs across all subscriptions, including the reserved instance cost and license costs, and is in full alignment with the FinOps open cost and isage specification (FOCUS).
The service is extensible via standard Data Factory and Power BI capabilities to integrate business or other providers' cost data.
