Cass Information Systems Announces Launch of Enterprise Cloud Management Services
Cass Information Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CASS), the nation's leading provider of transportation,
energy, telecom and waste invoice payment and information services, today announced the launch of the world’s first independent
offering of Cloud Management Services for global enterprises. The service delivers cost optimization, financial reporting, security
monitoring and compliance validation services to customers using Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform services.
As global enterprises rapidly migrate computing resources from premise-based data centers to infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)
public cloud environments, they are challenged with avoiding cost overruns, accurately accounting for services used, securing these
cloud environments from data breaches, and ensuring they remain compliant with regulatory standards such as CIS, ISO 27001, HIPAA
and PCI. To deliver a solution for these challenges, Cass has partnered with the largest independent cloud management platform
provider, CloudCheckr, to create a fully integrated managed service that will deliver cost
optimization, accounting automation, security awareness and compliance controls in a multi-cloud environment.
“Cass has long been the standard for enterprises seeking to control their expenses in a variety of payable categories. With the
rampant growth of public cloud compute environments, our customers now need us to deliver a robust set of services to support their
cloud migration velocity while providing cost and security controls,” said Gary Langfitt,
president of the Expense Management Division of Cass. “And by integrating our ExpenseSmart platform
with CloudCheckr, our global service teams will be able to proactively help our customers optimize the costs of their cloud
investments while simultaneously reducing the risk of compliance gaps in their public cloud infrastructure.”
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Cass, a leading provider of enterprise expense management services, as they extend their
enterprise management expertise to the cloud,” said Jeff Valentine, chief product officer at CloudCheckr. “Many infrastructure providers have primarily designed
their management tools for SMB users, but global enterprises have unique scale requirements that require CloudCheckr’s cloud
management platform to manage confidently. We know that many enterprises will benefit from leveraging a services partner like Cass
to deliver cost optimization and security as a service, freeing up their internal teams to focus on building rather than managing,
and thereby accelerating their digital transformation.”
“I&O leaders are challenged to manage private, public and multi-cloud services,” according to Gartner in a 2018 report
authored by Dennis Smith and Milind Govekar. The report continues,
“Service providers will become more prominent to help I&O teams as more enterprises have multi-cloud requirements and are
unable to navigate the tool market. The service providers will not only provide tooling, but also assistance in key areas like
process transformation.”1
Cass Cloud Management Services deliver detailed cost accounting of cloud expenses, optimization of cloud spend, proactive
security alerting for hundreds of best practice checks, and compliance tracking against dozens of published standards, while
integrating with the customer’s ITSM tools for improved process automation. For more information, please visit
