These platforms often add unexpected complexity to already overworked technology departments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur clients have seen an alarming increase in computer storage costs and security risks, and they often times require more specialized people to manage configurations and approvals,\u201d said Jim Wadella, Managing Member of Core Catalysts.<\/p>\n<p>Cloud platforms often offer \u201cquick fixes\u201d that fail to address underlying issues, and the result is more spend for software enhancements and a growing lack of visibility over time. This makes it difficult for an organization to control cloud costs, resources, and security and compliance, which all contribute directly to the success and direction of a company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new offering is in direct response to an issue we\u2019ve seen across all of our clients,\u201d said Doug Richards, CEO of Smart Factory. \u201cThe add-to-cart functionality of the AWS and Azure consoles makes it too easy for IT staff to subscribe to products that start off at pennies but can quickly spiral into thousands of dollars a month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Core Catalysts and Smart Factory\u2019s new partnership, they commit to solving companies\u2019 cloud sprawl. Whether it is a one-time diagnostic or ongoing cloud management, their services deliver easy-to-understand, proven, diagnostic data and processes to reestablish control. Their user-friendly platform makes onboarding easy to quickly gain relevant insights for effective decision-making and continuous improvement to cloud management. As a result, organizations can expect full visibility, immediate financial impacts, and leading practices for security and compliance.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit the partner website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corecatalysts.com\/cloud-solutions\/\">https:\/\/www.corecatalysts.com\/cloud-solutions\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Core Catalysts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Core Catalysts is a Management Consulting firm based in Kansas City that serves clients across the U.S. in various industries.
