“Clear and understandable reports from Yotascale about cloud utilization are worth their weight in gold. The power to drill down into resources, and share our insights across business units, help speed up decisions about products and resources.”

Industry: Insurance

Arturo’s cloud-based AI solutions allow insurance companies to use imagery in unique and compelling ways that foster better decision making, improve business operations, and result in an overall positive improvement in ROI. Using multiple image sources including satellite imagery to gain insights about properties – everything from outbuildings to swimming pools – these insights power faster customer service for underwriting and claims. The speed of its service and the breadth of its image sources are competitive advantages for Arturo: The company’s quoting and risk modeling solutions provide near-real-time feedback for insurers. To achieve these benefits, Arturo optimizes infrastructure such as cloud resources to deliver on its mission.

Yotascale provides Arturo with granular visibility into cloud costs and utilization. Reports and tables generated in Yotascale are used to communicate findings and insights to nontechnical teams and get buy-in from finance. In addition, Yotascale helps identify unused and redundant deployments, and provides metrics that guide new product development.
