Integrated Cloud Financial Management partners

The M&G Guide recommends you consider the following questions when choosing an AWS Partner solution for Cloud Financial Management:

• Does it help track spending at desired granularity and trace it back to approved initiatives, or allocate costs to the right business unit or project?

• Does it provide guardrails to control and govern cloud spending, which helps prevent unexpected or unexplainable costs, compliance, and security risks?

• Does it help estimate future costs and create financial predictability?

• Does it help analyze the implications of different AWS services, Availability Zones, or pricing models that can improve unit costs?

The following integrated Cloud Financial Management partners have provided integrations that align to the M&G Guide, and are available for entitlement in AWS Marketplace:
