TechConnect, a renowned Managed Service Provider (MSP) and AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, recently faced a common yet challenging issue in cloud cost management – the need for better visibility into specific cloud costs. This became especially apparent after they transitioned to Amazon Connect, where the lack of detailed cost insights hindered effective cloud expense management.

The Challenge

One of TechConnect’s key struggles was the inability to break down Amazon Connect costs into detailed components, making it difficult for their clients to understand and control their spending.  They struggled to differentiate specific costs like inbound and outbound minute charges, DID costs, and customer profile expenses.

TechConnect turned to Umbrella for a solution. By adopting Umbrella’s platform, they were able to provide their client with a detailed breakdown of Connect and Contact Centre Telecommunications costs.
