Erik Carlin, cofounder and CPO at ProsperOps, recently joined the FinOps Guys podcast to talk about FinOps metrics and Effective Savings Rate (ESR). The discussion centered on the evolution of automated cloud financial management and the establishment of a better metric to track cloud savings.
Most organizations are stuck cyclically managing cloud costs. Cloud Cost Optimization 2.0 represents a shift forward in your approach to cloud financial management (FinOps). Away from reactive, manual cloud cost optimization tools to automated, intelligent platforms.

Learn how commitment management, discount programs and optimizing discount rates can drive down your cloud costs, immediately.
