TCS Enterprise Manager
TCS Enterprise Manager: Elevating IT Operations Management
Highlights
- Organizations often lack full visibility and accountability of their cloud usage.
- TCS Enterprise Manager acts as a centralized platform for managing all cloud services and associated costs.
- It integrates with multiple cloud providers, allowing organizations to collect, analyze, and act on cloud cost and usage data.
- The platform provides comprehensive insights into cost drivers and breaks down cloud spending to improve planning and decision-making.
- A cloud FinOps framework enhances collaboration among finance, IT, and DevOps teams to manage cloud costs better.
Challenges
Teams working in silos lack centralized governance, poor visibility, and fragmented management, leading to ‘Cloud Sprawl’, causing cloud resources to proliferate uncontrollably. Over-provisioning, unused or idle resources drive it, shadowing IT practices, multi-cloud complexity, and inadequate tagging. These issues lead to inefficiencies, increased costs, and operational challenges without proper oversight and optimization. Additionally, the dynamic nature of cloud makes it difficult to identify cost drivers, control resource sprawl, or eliminate unused resources, complicating efforts to optimize spending.
Overview
TCS Enterprise Manager combines the strengths of a traditional cloud cost management strategy, focused on cost-saving opportunities, with a FinOps strategy. This combination balances performance goals with cost efficiency and brings accountability to cloud spending. It aligns cloud investments with business objectives, tracks actual spend against budget and forecast, and enables informed, data-driven decision-making.
