Service Providers, Resellers and Distributors

 

One of the challenges of the cloud is complexity, which is only compounded by the use of multiple cloud stacks on-prem and of multiple public clouds. For service providers, charging for an ever-increasing number of their own services and public cloud services with thousands of SKUs is a particular challenge. Exivity automates the metering and charging across on-prem and public cloud environments, allowing much faster time-to-value. At the same time, Exivity’s wide support for pricing models gives service providers all the flexibility required to execute powerful sales strategies

✅ Role-based Access Control

The RBAC model of Exivity enables you to set different roles and account access levels. This model enables you to create groups that are (for example) only allowed to see certain reports or only allowed to change rates.
