Buttonwood

Buttonwood is a Cloud Management Platform with the primary objectives of delivering control over cloud expenditure, improving security and optimising costs in a simple platform.

Buttonwood was formed in 2012 when cloud was compelling but lacked the maturity to truly disrupt enterprise IT. Benefits relating to increased agility were offset by complex consumption methods, poor operational control and the lack of financial transparency. At Buttonwood, we thrive on the disruptive nature of cloud, but we rail against proprietary access methods that result in vendor-lock. The team at Buttonwood have worked to develop the necessary products to help build and secure the hybrid enterprise with cloud choice, financial governance and operational control. Buttonwood aims to eliminate the cost and complexity associated with hybrid cloud architectures by focusing on open standards, beautiful design and radical simplicity!

Buttonwood has developed three software products as part of the platform. Each product is designed to solve the challenges clients are facing around governance, cost and control:

Buttonwood Cloud Broker - Helps clients acquire and deploy cloud services with ease. Removes the complexity in deploying and managing services in their enterprise system.

Buttonwood Cloud Exchange - Ensures secure access to all cloud applications from one place. Increases employee productivity by providing frictionless access to cloud apps. Provides subscription managements, which improves cost efficiencies

Buttonwood Cloud Analytics -Provides the tools to analyse and report on cloud spend, which delivers unprecedented financial transparency.
