How we helped cloud services company build their product from scratch
CTP aimed to develop a comprehensive system as part of their service offering to manage clients' transition to the cloud seamlessly. The system's core components, Continuous Cost Control and Continuous Compliance, were designed to provide enhanced visibility and analysis during the transition process.
- Continuous Cost Control: The system allows clients to visualize and manage the costs associated with transitioning from on-premise to cloud infrastructure. It provides detailed insights and analysis, empowering clients to make informed decisions throughout the transition phase.
- Continuous Compliance: Ensuring adherence to industry-standard security frameworks, the Continuous Compliance component guarantees that the resulting cloud infrastructure meets regulatory requirements. It offers real-time visibility into system compliance status and offers suggestions for enhancements, facilitating readiness for audits.
