Audio By Carbonatix

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 18, 2026--

Cloudaware, a premier cloud governance and optimization platform, and Apex Systems, a leading global technology solutions firm and one of six ASGN brands that will be unifying under the new Everforth brand (NYSE: ASGN), today announced a strategic partnership to launch a comprehensive, joint FinOps solution. This collaboration combines Apex Systems’ world-class advisory and managed services with Cloudaware’s robust cloud management platform to help enterprises master cloud financial management.

As organizations continue to scale their complex or multi-cloud environments, many struggle with "cloud sprawl" and unpredictable spending. The Apex-Cloudaware partnership addresses these challenges by providing a unified framework that merges deep technical expertise with automated, real-time data visibility.

Bridging the Gap Between Engineering and Finance

The joint solution is designed to break down silos between finance, technology, and business teams. By leveraging Cloudaware’s data-driven insights and Apex Systems’ implementation excellence, clients can expect:

• Total Cost Visibility: Real-time dashboards that provide a single pane of glass across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and private cloud environments.

• Automated Governance: Proactive identification of wasted resources and automated remediation workflows to ensure continuous optimization.

• Unit Economics Mastery: Advanced tagging and allocation strategies that allow businesses to track the true cost of every product, feature, and customer.

• Managed FinOps-as-a-Service: For organizations lacking internal resources, Apex Systems provides dedicated experts to manage the Cloudaware platform, drive cultural change, and guarantee cost-saving targets.
