We use the Microsoft Azure portal for monitoring costs, and export it if further analysis is warranted. I have also found that talking about the costs, and monitoring with alerts large changes to usage help raise awareness of the cost, what drives cost and accountability.

We have found that the most effective tool is one of the most traditional tools we have - give App leaders goals around cloud cost management.  We need to provide them tools, but the tools are less important than driving accountability.

We are looking at a likely re-deployment of Dynamics CRM due to an upcoming Sales and business unit organizational re-alignment. While Gartner typically has content on vendors in a particular technology space, I was hoping to potentially find some integration/migration partner recommendations. We have 7 years of "history" in our existing Dynamics deployment. We expect the roles and security  to change significantly. We also anticipate the potential of adding a new "enterprise" customer identifier as some current customers are currently duplicated across subsidiary companies. I wanted to bypass personally reviewing the 135 peer reviews. Any real-life experiences to share?

I work for a company with geographically dispersed operations, and we are facing significant challenges with our data collection and reporting processes for HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment). We collect a variety of environmental data (e.g., water quality indexes, equipment training compliance) from multiple sites. Our current data collection application has critical governance gaps. When an indicator shows a deviation, we struggle to trace its origin because the system lacks a clear audit trail. We cannot confidently verify who entered the data or when, which undermines the reliability of our HSE indicators. Furthermore, our data collection forms are rigid. Any request to add or modify fields requires our development team, leading to significant delays and hindering our ability to adapt to new requirements quickly. Questions: 1. How do you ensure robust data governance for HSE indicators? What tools or best practices have you found effective? 2. Have you successfully empowered your business or HSE teams to create and modify data collection forms without developer dependency? If so, what low-code/no-code platforms or solutions do you recommend?
