In today’s digital landscape, cloud computing is indispensable for enterprises. Yet, managing cloud costs remains a persistent challenge. Traditional tools often provide surface-level insights, leaving deeper inefficiencies unaddressed. Enter PointFive’s Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM), a groundbreaking solution poised to redefine cloud optimization.
Beyond Traditional Cost Management
Traditional cloud cost management tools primarily focus on financial reporting, often neglecting the underlying technical inefficiencies that drive up costs. PointFive’s CEPM shifts this paradigm by embedding efficiency into the core of engineering workflows. Drawing inspiration from Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), CEPM introduces a proactive, always-on approach to cloud optimization.
DeepWaste™: Uncovering Hidden Inefficiencies
At the heart of CEPM is DeepWaste™, PointFive’s proprietary technology that delves deep into cloud environments to identify inefficiencies often missed by conventional tools. By analyzing platform-specific metrics across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, DeepWaste™ provides actionable insights, enabling organizations to realize significant cost savings.
Seamless Integration for Engineering Teams
CEPM is designed with engineers in mind. It integrates seamlessly with popular platforms like Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, and Teams, ensuring that efficiency management becomes a natural part of daily operations. This integration fosters a culture of continuous optimization, where engineers are empowered to take ownership of cloud efficiency.
Rapid ROI and Proven Results
Enterprises adopting CEPM have reported substantial savings in a short span. Companies like Blackhawk Network (BHN), E.ON, Elastic, and Fanatics have witnessed increased efficiency and significant cost reductions within weeks of deployment. PointFive’s agentless architecture ensures quick deployment, providing immediate visibility into inefficiencies.
Multi-Cloud Optimization Made Simple
Managing multiple cloud platforms can be complex, given the varied metrics and cost structures. CEPM simplifies this by offering comprehensive support for AWS, Azure, and GCP. It provides a unified view of an organization’s efficiency posture while still surfacing cloud-specific insights. Early adopters, especially on Azure, have uncovered millions in hidden savings, thanks to CEPM’s ability to reveal platform-specific inefficiencies.
Empowering a Culture of Efficiency
PointFive’s mission goes beyond cost savings. By embedding efficiency into engineering workflows, CEPM fosters a culture where optimization is continuous and proactive. This approach not only reduces costs but also enhances reliability and agility, delivering strategic value to enterprises.
Looking Ahead: Strategic Value at Scale
As cloud footprints grow more complex and decentralized, the ability to continuously and contextually optimize infrastructure becomes a competitive necessity. CEPM addresses this by making efficiency a core engineering responsibility rather than a financial afterthought. For large-scale enterprises managing hundreds of services across multiple clouds, CEPM’s real-time visibility and automation can translate into tens of millions in annual savings, not just in cost, but in reclaimed developer time and improved system resilience.
Rising Media Attention and Industry Credibility
PointFive’s disruptive approach to cloud optimization is earning the company growing recognition in the media. USA Today recently spotlighted PointFive alongside other high-growth startups as a leader in enterprise transformation, emphasizing its unique Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM) model as a catalyst for change.
In Digital Journal, PointFive was described as “the real deal” in a feature that highlighted its technical depth and tangible business impact, while CIO Dive called PointFive “the hottest cloud startup” in a headline-grabbing piece that dissected the growing demand for deeper, engineering-led cloud cost management.
These articles, alongside growing mentions across outlets like TechCrunch, The New Stack, and VentureBeat, signal a broader industry shift toward efficiency-first cloud strategies—and place PointFive firmly at the center of that conversation.
