Cycloid
Cycloid is an Internal Developer Portal and Platform with modules around self-service and platform orchestration, project lifecycle and resource management, FinOps and GreenOps and plugins. It can be consumed through the console, in CLI or in API.
Cycloid focuses on platform engineering done right.
We optimize the developer experience and operational efficiency by accelerating the delivery of a portal and platform, alleviating the cognitive load on IT teams and advocating for FinOps & Green IT practices.
With our Internal Developer Portal and Platform, you don’t need to start from scratch to get a fully customized solution.
Platform teams design, build and run the platform enabling end-users to visualize, deploy and manage existing and new projects, interact with cutting-edge DevOps and Cloud automation without the need to become an expert, while keeping best practices in place, cloud expenses under control with a minimum carbon footprint.
We are also the editor of Open Source projects such as TerraCognita, reverse Terraform, InfraMap, infra diagram and Terracost, cost estimation. We work with Global organizations, US and EU public institutions, scale ups across America, Europe and Asia. 6 of the top 10 System Integrator and Managed Services Providers are working with us as a customer and/or as a partner.

CloudZero
The CloudZero Platform is uniquely positioned as the only cloud cost management tool that combines real-time engineering activities with financial data, helping users understand how their engineering decisions affect costs. Unlike typical cloud cost management solutions that focus solely on historical spending, CloudZero is specifically designed to help users recognize variations in costs and the underlying factors that contribute to them. Analyzing total spending can often obscure the identification of cost surges. To overcome this challenge, CloudZero utilizes machine learning technology to detect spikes in specific AWS accounts or services, facilitating proactive measures and informed planning. Aimed at engineers, CloudZero allows for meticulous examination of each line item, empowering users to respond to any questions, whether they stem from anomaly notifications or financial inquiries. This granular approach guarantees that teams retain a comprehensive insight into their cloud financials, ultimately supporting better decision-making and resource allocation. By fostering a deeper understanding of cost dynamics, CloudZero enables organizations to optimize their cloud spending effectively.

IBM Apptio
IBM Apptio combines financial and operational data into a unified model that follows a widely recognized cost categorization. Utilizing sophisticated allocation rules alongside specific metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs), the platform enables organizations to tackle essential questions related to their investments, while also enhancing their budgeting and forecasting processes. This functionality improves the ability of companies to articulate the rationale behind their investments and any deviations from their established plans to stakeholders and leadership teams, ultimately helping to pinpoint possibilities for refining cost structures, reducing risks, and promoting growth.
Moreover, viewing IT expenses—both historical and anticipated—in a structured manner based on a proven framework paves the way for quicker ad hoc analyses and more efficient budgeting cycles. By reducing overall IT expenditures through the minimization of waste, removal of redundancies, and alignment of spending with strategic objectives, organizations can substantially lessen the time needed for forecasting. This strategy not only boosts the frequency of updates but also liberates resources, allowing companies to concentrate on high-value projects that contribute to sustainable success, thereby ensuring that businesses remain agile in the face of changing market conditions.

BMC AMI Ops Automation for Capping
BMC AMI Ops Automation for Capping simplifies workload capping processes, effectively reducing risks and improving cost efficiency. Formerly branded as Intelligent Capping for zEnterprise, this solution utilizes automated intelligence to manage the MSU capacity settings essential for business functions, ensuring that companies can both minimize operational risks and optimize costs to meet digital demands. By automating the management of capping limits, organizations can focus on their most crucial workloads while also significantly lowering mainframe software licensing costs, which can consume 30-50% of the IT budget. In addition, the platform supports the dynamic automation of defined capacity MSU settings, promising a potential reduction in monthly software expenses by 10% or more. The system works proactively by analyzing, simulating, and adjusting defined capacity settings based on specific workload profiles, thereby reducing business risk. It also aligns MSU capacity with business priorities, ensuring resources are allocated to the most important tasks, while utilizing patented technology to facilitate capping modifications, which protects critical services from any disruptions. This holistic strategy not only maintains operational integrity but also fosters sustainable financial management in the IT landscape, leading to more efficient resource usage and improved overall performance. By integrating these advanced capabilities, organizations can better navigate the complexities of modern IT demands.
