Enterprises looking to assess and manage their cloud investments are now being offered a new Cloud Advisory Service from US-based Connection Lifecycle Management specialist, Tangoe. Using this, organisations can receive an objective assessment of their cloud environments to help them make decisions around current and future investments, as well as control costs and minimise risks.
The Cloud Advisory Service is a key component of the upcoming MatrixCloud solution, which provides organisations with a suite of comprehensive software modules and services to assist with the management of cloud contracts, licensing, expense and usage.
“The market for cloud services can be confusing and complex, and with new cloud products being rolled out every day, it’s difficult for organisations to decide which solution is right for them,” said Al Subbloie, president and CEO of Tangoe. “Through the Cloud Advisory Service, Tangoe is helping organisations to navigate the complicated cloud landscape and choose the right solutions to improve their business while mitigating risk.”
The new service leverages Tangoe’s industry expertise, market intelligence, and client peer analysis to define and compare how best-in-class organisations maximise their cloud investments. The aim is to help guide enterprises through the entire cloud process.
This includes assisting enterprises in defining their cloud strategy, navigating though vendor hype to identify the best solution for an enterprise, advising on costs and security, and managing the procurement process to obtain best-in-class pricing of cloud-based services.
Tangoe has also announced the appointment of Russ Loignon as its new Vice President of Cloud Consulting. Russ has more than 20 years of telecommunications industry experience, having worked as president of Systems Management Group and the Advance Solutions Organisation of AT&T, where he focused on creating business-related cloud offerings aimed at mobility, healthcare, sourcing and `as a service’ solutions.
