The cloud vendor bill is just line items on compute/storage/network spend. Are there tools to go beyond the surface and help understand the costs, and optimize cloud consumption? (Note this is not a question of cost saving in the cloud, I have seen the Q&A on that topic in the forums).

What are your thoughts on SaaS management platforms (SMP)?

What do you think it looks like inside AWS when us-east-1 goes down?

My company is a global consulting company that employs about 5000 people in >100 offices worldwide. We are replacing our old ERP and wondering if any of you have experience with doing an ERP implementation "agile"? What I mean by agile is releasing functionality throughout the migration process and not trying to do a "big bang" cutover on a three-day weekend with all hands on deck. If you have done this, how? Did you migrate functions (like invoicing) one at a time or did you migrate regions one at a time? Did this mean that you effectively had two ERPs for a period of time or did you figure out a way to avoid duplication? If you did this, what was your company's familiarity and comfort level with this kind of "agile" implementation?
