What about your historical cloud cost data when migrating?

Data about your cloud usage and costs is crucial to maximize the value of your cloud computing. If you migrate cloud accounts, you want to keep this historical data at all costs.

How can you keep the historical cloud cost data during a migration?

Problem

When you migrate cloud accounts, your old account is canceled, so you lose the historical data, or if your old account is set to inactive, you have to log in to different portals to view the information.

In an ideal world, you have the data of both your old account and your new account in one overview to monitor trends in usage and costs.

Solution

It is possible to show the cloud cost data of your old and new accounts in one overview.

With C-Facts, the cloud cost data of your old and new accounts are automatically retrieved via the API of your cloud provider and displayed in a dashboard.

After migrating your accounts, your old account is set to inactive while keeping the historical data in C-Facts.

C-Facts is a multi-cloud cost management solution that saves you time and money by collecting and aggregating cloud cost data, providing insights to get control over your cloud costs and start optimizing them.
