Mission, a CDW company and US-based Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services and ISV Accelerate Partner, today announced its strategic partnership with Vega Cloud, a leader in cloud financial management and optimization, to help enterprises optimize cloud spending and enhance financial operations.

"As businesses race to harness Generative AI, many are being asked to do more with the same—or even tighter—IT budgets," said Jonathan LaCour, CTO at Mission. "The partnership between Mission and Vega Cloud comes at a pivotal moment, equipping enterprises with the visibility, automation, and expert guidance needed to balance innovation with cost efficiency. By optimizing cloud spend, businesses can free up resources to invest in transformative technologies like GenAI, ensuring they stay competitive without overspending."

As cloud complexity continues to grow, so does spending. Most businesses spend between $1.2 million and $24 million on public clouds yearly while under increasing pressure to optimize cloud costs without sacrificing performance. This partnership enables businesses to proactively manage cloud spend, reduce costs, and optimize AWS cloud environments through a unified approach.

"AWS is a powerful platform, but its complexity can lead to escalating costs without the right strategy. Our partnership with Mission creates a comprehensive approach to cloud financial management," said Kris Bliesner, CEO at Vega Cloud. "Together, we're enabling organizations to gain deeper visibility into their cloud spend, automate cost optimization, and maximize the value of their IT investments—particularly crucial as businesses look to balance innovation with fiscal responsibility."

Mission and Vega Cloud's partnership offers valuable benefits to customers including:

• Integrated solution that combines Missions's managed cloud services with Vega Cloud's real-time billing anomaly detection and cloud optimization tools
• Improved cloud cost visibility
• Reduced financial waste
• Ability to make data-driven decisions

"The Vega Cloud integration combined with Mission Control is an essential framework that I use daily to keep an eye on my cloud spend to ensure that my teams are aligning to the company goals," said Ron Teeter, CTO of Rival HR. "It is the focal point of our FinOps program."
