IBM Cloudability Feature

Commercial Billing

Federated enterprise FinOps

Large enterprises often choose to aggregate cloud spend through centralized procurement to leverage volume-based pricing and bigger discounts. While these organizations have centralized FinOps teams, they also need to be able to chargeback and allow each business unit to manage its own cloud spend.

IBM Cloudability’s Commercial Billing is an add-on service that ingests, structures, and customizes billing data across the major cloud vendors. It enables enterprise-wide procurement and management while also allowing individual business units to manage and optimize their own cloud costs.
