AWS Cloud Financial Management
Cloud Economics Sessions at AWS re:Invent 2019
AWS helps customers drive business value and optimize cloud spend. Yet, understanding these drivers and how to maximize the benefits of AWS requires education and practices. AWS Cloud Economics helps customers build business cases beyond pure cost savings and helps customers on the platform optimize financial practices & costs.
AWS Cloud Economics team works closely with our Solutions Architects, TSO Logic, and Cost Management tools teams and will be presenting the following breakout, chalk talks, builder’s and workshop sessions at this year’s re:Invent. For business case, you will learn about the AWS Cloud Value Framework and how to build a comprehensive business case using either a bottom-up approach or a top-down approach based on benchmarking for rapid-development of a business case. For optimization on AWS, we will offer AWS Cloud Financial Management Methodology on monitoring, optimizing, and forecasting your cloud spend. Real-time customer use cases and partner solutions will be featured in these sessions.
