“Due to the ease of purchasing new cloud services, an organization’s cloud footprint can balloon overnight,” said Keith Berg, Vice President of Product and R&D at Upland Software. “Managing the cloud environments of multiple teams within an organization – from CloudOps to DevOps to FinOps – can cause extremely challenging and error-prone reporting and can become too complex to manage with native cloud tools. Cimpl Cloud’s quick implementation allows customers to see cost savings immediately, and set up ongoing monitoring, which is an ideal long-term solution as companies continue to expand their cloud footprints.”
To sum up, features of Upland Software’s new Cimpl Cloud offering would include:

- Maintain Compliance Standards and Control – To guarantee the highest governance standards, it uses 35+ compliance frameworks and extensive reporting
- Manage and Allocate Costs – Allows individual teams to get show backs or chargebacks by allocating cloud expenses back to the business (the proportionate amount each team uses within the organization)
