You moved to the cloud for flexibility, scalability, and cost savings. But now the monthly bills are rolling in, and they're… confusing.
Sometimes they're higher than expected. Other times they're unpredictable. And no one seems to know exactly what's driving the costs. Cloudability changes that.
It's a cloud financial management platform that gives you a clear view of what you're spending and where you can optimize. Built by Apptio and backed by Rego Consulting's FinOps expertise, it helps teams across engineering and finance finally get on the same page about cloud costs.
For many organizations, the shift to cloud introduced as many financial challenges as it solved. [FinOps best practices] can help, but only if you have the right tools and processes in place. Cloudability is the foundation. Rego makes sure it works for you.
See What You're Spending and Why
Cloud bills are notoriously complex. Between service abbreviations, hourly pricing, and hundreds of line items, it's nearly impossible to piece together a clear story. In many companies, finance is left trying to decipher invoices while engineers are in the dark about how their resource decisions impact spend.
Cloudability changes this dynamic by:
This creates a single source of truth for cloud costs with one that engineering, finance, and leadership can all rely on.
When your teams can see where money is going and how it ties to business outcomes, they're able to make better decisions. It also makes conversations about budget far less adversarial. Instead of finger-pointing, you're collaborating around shared facts.
Plan Smarter with Confidence
Budgeting for the cloud often feels like you're trying to predict the weather. You look at last month's spend, try to guess at next month's needs, and hope the two numbers are close.
Cloudability helps replace guesswork with data-driven forecasting. It uses historical usage patterns and current trends to create accurate projections. You can choose to let the platform run automated forecasts that update as new data comes in. Build manual projections to factor in planned initiatives, seasonality, or known infrastructure changes. Or run what-if scenarios to see how launching a new application or expanding into a new region might affect costs.
When you combine these capabilities with Rego's FinOps framework, you're connecting every forecast to a clear business reason. That means you can walk into a budget review with confidence, knowing you can explain and justify every number.
Cut Waste Without Slowing Down
One of the most common findings when we begin a FinOps engagement is just how much waste is quietly hiding in cloud environments.
Examples include:
Cloudability makes it easy to spot these inefficiencies and take action. It surfaces the cost, the cause, and recommendations for right-sizing or decommissioning resources. You can act on them immediately or schedule changes during maintenance windows to avoid disruption.
In fact, with Cloudability and Rego working in tandem, you'll have the visibility to enable proactive behavior and the processes in place to communicate success.
Make the Most of Your Cloud Commitments
Reserved instances and savings plans can unlock significant discounts but only if you use them correctly. We often see organizations purchase these commitments and then underutilize them, which means they're paying for capacity they never use.
Cloudability helps you:
Create Alignment Across Teams
One of the trickiest challenges in cloud financial management isn't technical—it's cultural. Engineering, finance, and leadership often have different priorities and ways of measuring success.
Without a common view of data, these groups can easily end up working at cross purposes.
Cloudability changes that by making cost visibility part of the workflow. Engineers can see the cost impact of changes as they happen. Finance gets the detailed reporting they need. Leaders can connect cloud spend to revenue and strategic goals.
So your team gets faster decisions and an organization that's pulling in the same direction.
The Bottom Line
Cloud costs don't have to be a mystery. With the right combination of technology and process, you can go from reactive bill-shock to proactive cost control.
With Cloudability and Rego, you can:
