Enterprise organizations struggle to translate complex cloud cost data into actionable insights for business leaders. This work requires applying specialist expertise at enterprise scale, requiring FinOps teams to make decisions around tradeoffs and opportunity costs. Grainger, we solved this challenge by building an AI-powered system that automatically generates personalized executive summaries for our top cloud-spending organizations, democratizing cost intelligence and empowering data-driven decision making.
This session will demonstrate how we transformed overwhelming cost data into executive-friendly narratives that highlight meaningful cost and usage metrics, trends and savings opportunities while filtering out trivial recommendations to drive adoption and awareness. We’ll share the business case that drove our investment, FinOps democratization and maturity across the enterprise, and how leveraging GenAI ultimately unlocked our ability to meet our goals while minimizing difficult decisions around resource investments and opportunity costs.
