Questions
What does Clectiv do for cloud?
Clectiv AI scopes your cloud project with you: where you are, what runs where, what the spend is doing and what has to change. The Clectiv team takes your plan to the cloud and managed-service providers that fit and brings back real proposals, side by side. You decide. Start at app.clectiv.com.
Who is it for?
Companies whose cloud spend keeps rising, who run in more than one place, or who need to decide what stays, what moves, and what comes home.
How long does it take?
Days, not months. You tell Clectiv AI what you need, it builds your Blueprint with you, and the providers that fit answer side by side. The Clectiv team joins in to help you negotiate. You decide.
What does it cost?
Clectiv is free to you, the buyer, with no obligation. You type your project, and you decide.
Do you work with the cloud I already use?
Yes. The plan starts from where you are. Most cloud projects keep something where it is and move something else; the Blueprint says which is which.
Is this a FinOps service?
It's sourcing. If the answer to your spend is a different contract, a different home for some workloads, or someone to manage it, Clectiv gets you real proposals for that. Your own tools stay yours.
Can you get us off VMware?
Yes. Clectiv AI writes down what runs on VMware today, and the providers that fit bid on where it goes before your renewal.
What happens after I type my project?
Clectiv AI asks one question, then asks for your work email. You get a link, your project is set up, and the conversation continues inside Clectiv AI.
Is Clectiv a provider?
No. Clectiv doesn't sell any of this. It takes your plan to the providers that fit and brings you real bids to compare. Behind Clectiv AI is the Clectiv team: 20+ years · 25+ engineers · 60+ pricing analysts · 620+ providers, through our partner network.
