Business value

Digital transformation is driving rapid cloud adoption, causing a significant change in IT infrastructure buying practices along with a shift from IT capital budget to IT operational budget. This creates new challenges for IT organizations as they are unprepared for the complexity in identifying cloud resources needed and determining the best price models to use. With buyers of public cloud services throughout the organization, IT and business owners are often surprised with budget overruns and overspending.

BMC Helix Cloud Cost provides visibility and control of cloud costs. Self-service views keep budget owners, project owners and stakeholders informed and in control of their cloud operational spend and budgets. With automated recommendations and actions, cloud resource services remain optimized, eliminating wasted spend. Using machine learning, anomalous spending is detected. This, along with thresholds and alerts on spend, keep budget owners informed and in control, preventing budget overruns. The ability to establish and automatically enforce business guidelines ensure cloud buying and operations are compliant with business and regulatory policies.
