Overview
In most enterprises, technology optimization happens in silos. One team manages cloud spend, another negotiates software contracts, while a third oversees data center operations. AI, edge, and emerging technology investments often sit outside these domains altogether. Each team is incentivized to optimize within its own area of responsibility, and that is precisely the challenge.
Decisions that appear efficient in one domain can unintentionally increase costs in another. A cloud migration may leave underutilized data center assets still being depreciated. Capacity commitments may be purchased before workloads are rightsized, locking in avoidable spend. Software licenses may move to the cloud without the associated entitlements. As costs shift across silos, value is lost, accountability becomes fragmented, and no one has visibility into the true enterprise-wide outcome.
Key Features
Wipro SLICE 2.0 Integrated Optimization replaces siloed efforts with one optimization model. Reflecting the FinOps Foundation Cloud+ direction, it turns the whole estate into a single, prioritized program of action, delivered through your own governance processes. It enables organizations to:
- Normalize cost, usage, ownership and contract data from every scope into one model, aligned to the open FOCUS cost-data specification
- Manage commitments, pricing agreements and license entitlements as a single portfolio rather than per provider
- Optimize resource utilization by rightsizing workloads, eliminating idle and orphaned assets, and improving scheduling and storage lifecycle management across environments.
- Decide where workloads should run (data center, edge, private or public cloud) on full total cost of ownership
- Test each opportunity for its knock-on effect elsewhere in the estate before it is approved
- Execute through ITSM and change processes, with approval, rollback and audit trail
- Track savings from recommendation to realization, validating outcomes and accounting for costs shifted elsewhere in the estate.
Carbon impact is recorded alongside cost for every action, so efficiency and sustainability are managed together.
