Organizational Alignment

We help customers institutionalize a culture of awareness, action and accountability characterized by DevOps considering financial impact in design, Program Owners understand cost drivers in their decisions, and Executives have the contextualized information needed to make critical decisions. 

We work with our customers to build the infrastructure where teams clearly understand their direct and allocated shared cost portion of cloud spend based on their actual consumption and chargeback reporting is integrated automatically into the budgetary and financial planning and execution tools.

In the context of the organizational structure, and its mission objectives, program goals and authority hierarchy, we work with Executives, Program Leads, Tech Dev and Ops, and financial specialists to ensure stakeholders are appropriately associated with decisional authority and accountability assignment.

We help enable an organization to build an understanding of the total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment of IT and business services, focusing on institutionalizing a comprehensive lifecycle tracking and reporting on assets – hardware, software, software licenses, and other assets both tangible and intangible – used in the IT infrastructure to deliver value.

 Our design services for the transparent and accurate allocation of shared service cost enlists our experience and practical expertise to advise, not only on cost allocation models, but how the organization can best leverage a central budget structure to fund cloud services, development, and operations.

Leveraging customer data, along with metadata on cloud resources and resource hierarchies, we help to create a near “real time” reporting mechanism for stakeholders to monitor total costs for the desired Agency, Division or Program, opportunities for cost avoidance, and KPIs for financial health (e.g. performance of rate reduction commitments, unit cost measures for key services, aggregated efficiency metrics, etc.). 

We support the communication and transfer of knowledge for the enhancement of FinOps across the organization - including designing comprehensive communication plans and objective based learning for our customers.  

Maven Group helps develop, implement, and sustain our customers' cloud policy and governance - working with Executives, Program Leaders, Technologists and Vendors to embed infrastructure for cultural cloud optimization in the organization.
