Synthesis Software Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with multi-cloud finops platform provider Umbrella.
Umbrella provides an AI-enabled finops platform designed to help businesses gain full visibility into their cloud spend, optimise usage and drive financial accountability across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Organisations across South Africa are increasing their use of cloud services but struggling to maintain transparency, governance, and efficiency as environments expand across multiple platforms. Umbrella addresses this challenge by simplifying cloud financial management, enabling organisations to manage spend, predict costs, and make informed engineering decisions faster and more accurately.
The Synthesis-Umbrella aims to help organisations modernise, optimise, and sustainably grow their cloud environments. Through this collaboration, Synthesis will enable customers to:
- Increase Financial Transparency and Accountability – With advanced rebilling, and multi-tenant cost allocation, businesses gain granular insight into which teams, departments, or products drive cloud expenditure, and where to intervene.
- Leverage AI-Driven Cloud Intelligence – Umbrella’s machine-learning engine identifies waste, forecasts trends, and simplifies complex cloud financial data into actionable insights.
- Integrate FinOps Into Daily Operations – Synthesis incorporates Umbrella into its own Cloud Managed Services offerings, using it to provide clients with ongoing cloud optimisation, governance, and operational excellence.
- Access a Scalable SaaS FinOps Platform – For customers looking to self-manage, Umbrella is also offered as a SaaS solution, delivering enterprise-grade capabilities without the need for heavy in-house tooling or engineering overhead.
