Total Cost of Ownership

The Cloud Cost Management Suite redefines how AWS users handle and strategize their cloud finances. Our groundbreaking platform provides businesses with vital insights and authoritative oversight of their cloud expenses, enabling precise forecasting and comprehensive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analyses. This empowers organizations to make informed decisions, fine-tune their cloud strategies, and achieve both their financial and operational goals. Through cutting-edge technology and a comprehensive suite of tools, we deliver a holistic cloud cost management strategy that transcends basic expense tracking, fostering genuine value and operational efficiencies within your cloud ecosystem.

With our platform's sophisticated integration of native visualizations and comprehensive expense aggregation across accounts, companies gain access to essential tools for nuanced financial understanding. This includes detailed cost breakdowns such as reserved instances, support fees, and applicable taxes, providing a precise snapshot of daily expenditures. Pump leverages the detailed cost classifications available in the CUR—spanning API operations to product families—to help organizations differentiate compute expenses from ancillary costs like data transfer and logging. This differentiation is crucial for a deep understanding of cloud expenditures and accurate TCO determination.

Furthermore, the Pump budgeting tool utilizes statistical models for extrapolation, instilling confidence in the accuracy and projected direction of financial forecasts. Supporting budget setting over various time frames—from monthly to annual—this tool helps teams align with their strategic plans. The platform's ability to compare current financial trends against historical data enhances forecasting accuracy and facilitates alerts for anomalies and recommendations for reservations. With deep integrations with popular tools like Jira, Slack, and email, we strive to minimize friction for teams to take action. Whether it's reaching a budget threshold or detecting an abnormal spike in AWS ECS usage, we promptly alert our customers and guide them to the issue's resolution.

Moreover, recognizing the risks of relying solely on historical or present data, our platform strikes a balance between the two, ensuring companies maintain agility while considering past expenditure trends—a crucial predictor of potential future outcomes. From rolling 12-month spend graphs to budget forecasts, Pump leverages the granular cost data ingested from the CUR to simplify cloud costs for our customers.

Understanding the complex demands of cloud technology, we occasionally recommend higher-cost services or configurations when they promise superior performance. This nuanced approach is supported by our granular cost analysis, which informs recommendations for infrastructure optimization—whether for efficiency gains or performance enhancements. By adhering to a first-principles methodology, beginning with basic compute and storage needs before progressing to networking and performance enhancements, we ensure a thorough understanding of unit economics. This foundation enables us to offer not just effective assessments but actionable guidance for leveraging cloud services to enhance infrastructure efficiency and performance.
