Stratascale and Apptio Partner to Deliver High-performance Hybrid Multi-cloud FinOps and GreenOps Solutions

Stratascale and Apptio announced a new collaboration to bring rapid and continuous FinOps and GreenOps services to Fortune 1000 clients.

The first solution delivered by the partners is the Stratascale FinOps Accelerator, an eight-week service built on Apptio Cloudability that quickly identifies and maps a short-term path to rapid, cloud savings for clients while laying the foundation for lasting change and optimization to a client’s cloud management practices. The tech companies plan to roll-out a sustainability GreenOps solution for multi-cloud consumption later this year.

Digital transformations force companies of all sizes to open their budgets for cloud spending, but the accelerated shift to cloud presents complex challenges for forecasting and managing costs. According to siliconAngle, analysts project 30% growth in public cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) spending in 2023.

To help use the cloud more efficiently, organizations are doubling down on FinOps to manage their cloud costs and take ownership of usage while following best practices.

“Customers are asking for more capabilities and help around cloud cost management and ongoing optimization, and collaborating with Apptio brings the ideal combination of services, tooling, and critical insights to our clients,” said Ryan Schell, Stratascale Vice President, Digital Cloud Solutions. “This partnership and the FinOps Accelerator service build on the work we are already doing with clients in the areas of cloud migration, digital innovation, and overall cloud operations.”

The Stratascale FinOps Accelerator service helps clients address these common cloud cost issues. The service extends over eight weeks and pairs Stratascale and Apptio FinOps experts with the award-winning FinOps Apptio Cloudability platform. This results in more targeted insights and a faster path to identify cloud cost savings for clients. The service also helps clients realize critical next steps to achieve those savings. The service includes on-going executive reports and readouts of key findings, along with valuable best practices and targeted recommendations. It’s available for a flat-fee price, regardless of size of cloud or potential savings opportunities.

“Some organizations urgently need to realize cost savings or to understand how they can redirect technology investments to digital innovation, so this accelerated FinOps service is exactly what enterprises need to receive fast time-to-value and data-driven decision support,” said Henrik Nilsson, Apptio Global Vice President of Partners. “We are thrilled to be partnering with Stratascale and look forward to helping clients quickly implement FinOps practices.”
