#IAM Health Cloud Offers Unprecedented Assistance to Cloud Economist Consultants as they Serve their Clients
IAM Health Cloud is the best tool available for analyzing, monitoring, collecting, and showing AWS and Azure Cloud metadata. It is a powerful tool cloud economists use to manage client spending on large AWS and Azure deployments. IAM Health Cloud instantly and efficiently inventories a company’s entire cloud stack. Information on every piece of the network is instantly visible in a single pane of glass—every Azure or AWS account from every organization comes together in one place. There is no time wasted hunting documents, generating reports, running custom scripts, or installing monitoring software. Everything is immediately exposed for a consultant to analyze, report on, modify, and control. The cost of every piece of the cloud network is immediately visible, and it–along with all other data–can be instantly exported to open, plain text formats.
IAM Health Cloud does not touch the data or OS layer. Sensitive client data is never handed over to the consultant as part of the cloud inventory and discovery process. This eliminates a huge liability and makes it much easier to analyze the spending of customers in regulated environments such as healthcare, government, education, or national security. IAM Health Cloud is listed in AWS GovCloud for sale to government institutions, and we can assist with industry specific audits.
IAM Health Cloud tracks spending and other activity in real time across the entire company, giving a birds eye view of the ebb and flow of resource usage. Consultants can more easily identify issues with actively polled, real time, collated data as opposed to batch processed logs that arrive when they are ready, not as clients need them. Real time access is the absolute best way to keep a client abreast of problems as they are found and addressed. It also protects the client from a mistake by the consultant themselves—the impact of a change is immediately seen, and the instant exposure of the error triggers a rollback or pause before it becomes serious.
IAM Health Cloud reduces or eliminates the administrative burden of data collection cloud economist consultancies face on a daily basis, and allows them to run a tighter, higher margin firm without compromising client relationships or work product. Consultants use IAM Health Cloud to reduce or eliminate the expense of lower level employees or third party contractors whose primary job is to just get cost and inventory data ready for skilled network engineers and other key players. Eliminating this expense also eliminates the massive liability that comes with a high head count—more staff means more risk of damage to client assets, breach of systems, or exposure of sensitive client financials.
Clients want results as quickly as possible, and with IAM Health Cloud cloud economists instantly have an impact. Statistical analysis of spending can begin without the busy work of double checking that all data was correctly collected and formatted. Wasteful accounts and misconfigurations are immediately identified throughout the data collection process and can be removed at the very beginning of an engagement. In a trial at a large Fortune 500 company over a million dollars a year in waste was instantly identified and eliminated when IAM Health Cloud was used to inventory just three of their AWS accounts. These kinds of immediately tangible financial results ease clients’ minds and set the table for smooth engagements and future business.
IAM Health Cloud includes a powerful natural language model that lets users have insightful conversations with their data without trusting a third party. Data is obfuscated and identifying information is made invisible. This natural language interface gives consultants a powerful tool to chase down problems or follow a hunch when they work inside complex environments that include configurations and software they have never encountered in the past. Financial insights can be tested against language models machine learning and refined before deployment or disclosure to the client.
IAM Health Cloud is fully integrated into AWS CloudWatch dashboards with access to standard SNS alert services. IAM Health Cloud ties cost controls to real time data, alerting companies of excessive, wasteful spikes in spending from cyberattacks or poor cloud architecture. Real time alerts ensure spending plan minimums are met and beneficial changes survive after a consultant leaves.
Cloud economists who are AWS and Azure partners receive a steady, permanent flow of revenue from AWS or Azure Marketplace when they recommend and sell IAM Health Cloud. Leaving IAM Health Cloud in place enables fast, efficient consultant work in the future with absolutely zero need to interface with their team to collect the necessary data. This allows for fast, frequent, and immensely profitable engagements without the pressure of scrounging for new business.
Cloud economists working as consultants make more money with less effort, risk, or headache when they use IAM Health Cloud to serve their clients. Please get in touch today to see how we can help. Thanks!
