Technology spend, without the surprises.
Connect cloud, AI and service costs to owners, budgets and forecasts—so finance and technology can explain changes and plan ahead.
From explaining spend to planning what comes next.
An invoice arrives above budget. Finance needs an explanation; technology needs to find what changed.
Start with shared evidence, not another spreadsheet. Bring the drivers, ownership and forecast into the same conversation—whether you wear one of these hats or all three.
Make the budget conversation clearer.
Allocate costs to business units, explain variances and review forecast pressure with budget owners.
Connect consumption to accountability.
Connect resources and AI usage to owners. Assess optimisation against the workloads your business needs.
Walk into the review with context.
See what changed, what is projected and who needs to act before agreeing investment priorities.

Who owns your AI spend?
Bring supported AI usage alongside cloud costs so new consumption patterns are part of the budget review.
Explore AI cost managementBring three questions to the next review.
- Which teams and models are driving usage?
- What has changed, and how does it fit the budget?
- Who reviews the cost and agrees the next action?
Provider, model, user and API-key detail depends on the source, account permissions and available history. Unattributed usage stays visible. Your team makes the decisions; visibility does not automatically enforce policy.
