CloudMGR

CloudMGR was an Australian company founded by Craig Deveson in 2012. The firm operated as a cloud services brokerage, providing an integrated management solution specifically designed for IT service providers utilizing Amazon Web Services (AWS). Its platform was engineered to connect disparate systems for billing, provisioning, monitoring, and support into a single, interconnected framework. This enabled organizations, including managed service providers (MSPs), SaaS companies, and enterprises, to gain a clear view of their cloud resource usage and the associated operational costs. For MSPs, the solution offered capabilities to perform monthly analyses, deliver reports with recommendations on cloud consumption, and implement AWS best practices for their clients.

The company's primary product was a platform that facilitated the use of AWS Cloud Computing, featuring tools for Cloud Compute and Cloud Storage, alongside a connector framework and packaged applications. By integrating these functions, CloudMGR aimed to accelerate and simplify the management of AWS environments for its clients. The business was positioned as an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, highlighting its specialization and expertise within the Amazon cloud ecosystem. As an early entrant in the cloud automation sector, the company focused on providing data-driven automation solutions.

In a significant milestone, CloudMGR was acquired by the U.S.-based company Cloudability in March 2017 for undisclosed financial terms. This event marked Cloudability's fifth acquisition and its first in the Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) region, a strategic move to better serve a growing customer base in that area. Following the acquisition, CloudMGR's founder and CEO, Craig Deveson, transitioned to the role of General Manager for Australia and New Zealand at Cloudability, leveraging his regional expertise to support the merged entity's expansion. The integration aimed to combine CloudMGR's automation expertise with Cloudability's existing cloud management tools to enhance their joint service offerings.
