Does your organization achieve its cloud spending, operational, and security objectives? It’s an important question many cloud service users struggle to answer because they don’t have the data to formulate an accurate response. In many cases, businesses do not know how to measure their cloud operations. As a result, they struggle to optimize their cloud environment effectively. That’s where Azure cloud services come in.

VIAcode Helps Clients Maximize ROI of Cloud Managed Services

At VIAcode, our Azure experts work closely with our clients throughout the entire engagement to effectively measure an organization’s Azure cloud costs, operational effectiveness, and security performance. We continually explore cloud measurement and benchmarking tools and techniques for our partners to provide the business insight they need to cut cloud costs, improve security, and enhance business processes that rely on cloud infrastructure.

Establishing a Cloud Center of Excellence is the First Step in Measuring Effectiveness 

At VIAcode, we recognize that most organizations experience challenges when they adopt public cloud infrastructure. The most frequently reported issues stem from a lack of cloud experience and expertise, the cloud platform’s complexity, and poor visibility into the cloud environment.

To help our partners avoid potential project obstacles and disruptions, we recommend building an Azure cloud center of excellence. Our experienced Azure consultants understand that the cloud center of excellence (CCoE) framework is a popular approach to overcoming cloud challenges. However, we also know that a CCoE is only the first step in gauging the effectiveness of an Azure cloud services solution. It’s not enough to implement a CCoE. The performance of the CCoE must also be measured to gauge effectiveness and outcome. Once a business establishes its cloud center of excellence, it must also designate a benchmark to judge cloud operational performance.
