Enabling Success in the Cloud for Manufacturing and CPG
As manufacturers evolve from early experiments with IoT and machine learning to a state of rapid adoption and scale, technology in the industry is advancing extremely quickly. These advanced technologies, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, mixed reality, and digital twinning are becoming commonplace in modern manufacturing and CPG enterprises.
Technologies such as these enable manufacturers to enhance digital factories, monetize connected products and services, create new service lines, reduce costs, become more sustainable, and comply with regulations. But they also result in an overwhelming amount of data to collect, understand, and act on. Unlocking the full potential of this data often requires compliance with regulations which set a new bar for data privacy, security, and compliance. OpsCompass provides insight on developing strategies to establish and maintain a compliant, secure, and cost-effective cloud environment.

Visibility
In the cloud, changes happen frequently and through different configuration vectors. Logs and traditional monitoring solutions can’t tell the whole story. OpsCompass provides DevOps, Infrastructure, and Security teams with comprehensive visibility to the exact configuration state before and after the violating change.
Security Posture
When it comes time for an audit, you don’t want any surprises. It’s important that you know exactly what you have in the cloud and when it changes to maintain a safe and secure environment. OpsCompass makes it easy to enforce specific, secure configurations across clouds and be alerted when things change.
Compliance Analysis
Cloud compliance requires that you have deep, point-in-time visibility into your cloud infrastructure. OpsCompass continuously checks whether your cloud infrastructure is in compliance with your own internal baselines as well as multiple specific regulatory benchmarks. It also provides tools to automate the auditing process in order to reduce the operational overhead needed to meet the reporting requirements.
Cost Anticipation
According to Rightscale it is anticipated that 35% of cloud spend is wasted. By monitoring events for when new resources are put into use or modified, OpsCompass can immediately project an annualized cost and alert teams when these costs exceed a threshold set by the organization. This increased visibility reduces wasted cloud spend.
