No User is an Island: Cooperate to Win

There is a typical challenge, frequently faced by organizations of different sizes, domains and technologies. Financial, development, security, and management teams work each in their own bubble. Each team uses different tools, tracks different metrics, and speaks a different language even if it comes to the same subject. This disconnection frequently leads to miscommunication, friction, unexpected budget overruns, and security gaps. The result is inefficiency and risk that could otherwise be avoided.

Effective cloud management and FinOps is not only about the tools. It's a cultural shift toward shared accountability for cloud spending. It requires creating an environment where technical, management, and financial teams can work together seamlessly.

Maestro is the platform enabling this by design. It provides a unified view for infrastructure, costs, security, breaking down departmental barriers and enabling effective, data-driven cooperation across your entire organization.

Having a powerful entry point is a great opportunity, but before recently, this was true for the people working on the same tenant. Organizational and security arrangements typically prevent users from accessing the data on the entities they do not belong to, so sharing data outside the team needed additional steps like sharing reports manually, auto forwarding, or others.

This is where a bottleneck for cooperation appears, as sharing information between departments and teams becomes complicated. What if:

•  we have several branches, each working with their own tenants, but we need their current financial data be easily accessed and analyzed by a centralized responsible team?
  
•  my security office needs to keep track of the detailed compliance health of a specific account?
  
•  our annual review team needs to take into account the optimization possibilities across different departments, and see how the indicators change in live mode?

These and other enterprise-level cooperation challenges can be faced by the Maestro Features that enable quick data sharing.

• Downloading a CSV file to investigate specific numbers
• Calling a report for more details on a specific widget
• Sharing a Dashboard as an email
• Sharing live access to a Dashboard

Each of the options has its own use cases and best practices. The first three allow to investigate the snapshots of numbers and data at a specific point in time. Live access sharing, along with the possibility to give comments, enables real-time data review and communication.

Altogether, these tools create a powerful and easy to use platform that not only provides the data,  analytics, and recommendations for your cloud infrastructures, but also leverages transparent and effective communication both within specific teams and across the whole enterprise.
