ICYMI: Cloud-based data storage, driving innovation, and sustainability reporting journeys
When we talk about the Plan and Evaluate use case in the context of Cloud Financial Management, we refer to several use cases that all contribute to understanding and evaluating the economic performance of your IT investment, in alignment with your specific business priorities.
