With so many different individuals across your organization dabbling in the cloud and making adjustments, it can be difficult to track, manage and secure. It can also present challenges to the already complicated process of cloud cost management and cloud optimization.

Just as there are a handful of stages to describe the financial journey from startup to established company — pre-seed and seed funding, followed by series A, B, and C funding — there are also stages to the process of achieving a healthy understanding of your costs.
