Through this partnership, Anodot customers now gain access to OpenOps's no-code automation capabilities, offering a reliable, batteries-included way to integrate Anodot with hundreds of other tools and systems, enabling better automation of FinOps best practices. ASHBURN, Va., Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Anodot, a cloud cost management platform, has strategically partnered with OpenOps, a no-code FinOps automation company. This partnership enables Anodot's FinOps platform to integrate directly with 100+ different tools and platforms via the OpenOps no-code automation platform. Since cloud cost governance involves using many different CSP services, visibility platforms, and specialized systems while requiring business context from across the organization, orchestrating all these disparate entities can be challenging. OpenOps offers a unified, no-code-based interface to connect many tools together—allowing for a more streamlined approach to FinOps. Creating due process in FinOps teams has always been a challenge - a mixture of home-grown tools and a lack of effective communication between engineers and FinOps teams lead to lack of trust and a difficulty in creating robust remediation processes - until now. OpenOps's no-code platform enables the creation of versioned, repeatable and easy-to-customize workflows that enable the combination of multiple cloud resources and other integrations to create visible processes everyone in the organization can follow and streamline the cost optimization process. OpenOps now integrates no-code automation with Anodot's FinOps platform, combining OpenOps' customizability & flexibility with Anodot's granular data insights and recommendations for easier and more streamlined cloud cost optimization. Through this partnership, FinOps practitioners can now act on Anodot recommendations end-to-end, remediate issues, and track KPIs in their operations, automating and scaling their practice in a reliable, version-controlled, and highly customizable way. David Drai, CEO of Anodot, describes the customer benefit of this partnership: "It's been an exciting year of rapid growth for Anodot. Our partnership with OpenOps highlights the growing demand from enterprises and channel partners for solutions that tackle the challenges posed by disruptions at legacy providers. Together, we are embarking on the journey where our legacy competitors left off." said David Drai, CEO of Anodot. "We are deeply committed to supporting our customers and partners in delivering sustainable, cost-efficient, and technically advanced solutions to help their clients maximize the value of their cloud investments." This OpenOps/Anodot solution is built to be the only solution that can effectively address these global concerns. Amit Saar, CEO of OpenOps, also addresses the potential benefits of this collaboration: "The combination of Anodot's exceptional visibility and recommendations, along with the automation enabled by OpenOps, can take any FinOps practice to the next level, ensuring streamlined FinOps processes and best practices can be put in place easily and reliably."

Through this partnership, Anodot has added cloud carbon emissions data to its FinOps platform, offering unparalleled insights and functionality for sustainable cloud management. ASHBURN, Va., Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Anodot, a cloud cost management platform, strategically partners with Greenpixie, a cloud sustainability data company. Anodot's FinOps tool now offers cloud cost and carbon emissions data through a single pane of glass. Customers' emissions data are calculated using the ISO-verified cloud emissions measurement methodology developed by Greenpixie. Carbon is a highly effective motivator for engineers to reduce cloud waste, even more effective than saving costs. However, these two motivators (cost and carbon) are not equally visible in the available FinOps tools — until now. Early attempts to incorporate sustainability measurements in FinOps often rely on spend proxies, lacking accuracy. In contrast, Greenpixie's methodology, verified under ISO-14064, ensures accurate cloud emission measurements and trustworthy cloud sustainability data. Anodot now offers cloud cost and carbon emissions data in a single view through their partnership with Greenpixie. Through this partnership, Greenpixie's technology integrates with Anodot's state-of-the-art server utilization data. This enables Anodot's FinOps customers to see highly accurate emissions data in hourly granularity and have full visibility into their cloud decisions' carbon and water impacts. The new GreenOps feature will be available to all Anodot customers in Q4 2024. David Drai, CEO of Anodot, describes the customer benefit of this partnership: "At Anodot, our cloud cost optimization platform empowers businesses to maximize their cloud efficiency and significantly reduce expenditures. Through our strategic partnership with Greenpixie, an industry pioneer in GreenOps solutions, we further elevate our commitment to sustainable practices. Greenpixie's seamless integration provides accurate visibility into cloud environments' energy consumption and carbon emissions. This collaboration allows organizations to optimize cloud costs while contributing to a greener future." This Greenpixie/Anodot solution is built to be the only solution that can effectively address these global concerns. John Ridd, CEO of Greenpixie, also addresses the potential benefits of this collaboration: "Anodot and Greenpixie's partnership puts emissions data in the hands of those who have the power to make a difference – the engineers. Greenpixie's trusted methodology and ongoing partnerships with academic institutions ensure our cloud emission methodology's continuous improvement and accuracy. Meanwhile, Anodot's complete suite of FinOps services, capabilities, and platforms now boast the double value of protecting the planet and profits."
