The Cloud2 Managed Service Calculator is a tool that allows you to easily estimate the cost of Cloud2 Managed Services for different workloads.
Using the calculator, you can define their customers' workloads, which may span multiple accounts or subscriptions, and start by selecting the Cloud Vendor.
Then you select the Service Desk Tier for the workload and add each account or subscription and select the SLA Tier for needed. You can also choose value-adding services that customers may need, and the calculator will provide them with an estimated monthly cost based on the consumption entered for the accounts.
One of the key features of the Managed Service Calculator is the ability to adjust discounts on individual elements. This allows you to customize the cost estimates to better fit customers' budgets and needs. Calculations can be saved and shared with colleagues, or exported as PDF or PowerPoint documents.
Finally, the Managed Service Calculator can generate a sample contract package (a zip file with Microsoft Word files) based on the configured calculation. (currently pending new Cloud2 contracts)
This can make it easy for us to prepare proposals for their customers and ensure that they have all of the necessary documents in place.
In summary, the Managed Service Calculator is a tool that allows Cloud2 internals to calculate the cost of running customers' workloads on Managed Services and to specify the offering to fit the customers' needs, the purpose of the calculator is to assist in preparing proposals and making informed decisions about managed service offerings during the sales process.
