Proof doesn't require public logos. It requires specific metrics, defensible evidence, and artifacts concrete enough that an evaluator can share them with colleagues who haven't seen a demo. Below, proof is organized by solution area — so you can find the evidence that maps to the problem you're solving.
Evidence demonstrating how FogLifter® achieves outcomes in each operational data solution.
52,000 production servers reconciled across CMDB, billing, and discovery at a single healthcare customer, achieving 99.1% record confidence. FogLifter tracks ephemeral and elastic assets — VMs, containers, cloud instances — over time, measuring deltas month over month rather than relying on point-in-time snapshots. One customer discovered 8 petabytes of forgotten storage from a 10-year-old MRI copying configuration that no individual tool had surfaced.
40+ IT reporting systems connected in a single customer environment, with the ontology normalizing naming conventions across vendors — Hitachi® labels a storage line one way, Dell™ EMC labels it another. As one customer described it: "We're the Noah's Ark of IT — we have at least two of everything." FogLifter reconciles all of them into one correlated entity without manual mapping, so downstream counts, costs, and ownership references are consistent.
75+ enterprise data sources validated through API collectors and secondary ingestion — spreadsheets, CSV exports, text files, and email. Deployment tiers scale from 10 data sources (Base) to 50 (Plus) to 100+ (Professional). In production, one customer environment spans 81 countries, 52 currencies, and 70 tax structures — all ingested through governed, continuous cycles rather than one-off imports.
A healthcare customer with 52,000 production servers was routinely disputing 3,000 to 5,000 of them — 7% to 10% of the total environment — with their service provider every billing cycle. FogLifter's Validation View allowed both parties to comment, flag, and resolve each discrepancy. Disputes that festered for weeks now resolve in the same cycle. The CMDB becomes auditable with exception lists, reconciliation evidence, and tracked resolution for every discrepancy.
70,000+ servers, 27 PB of storage, and 3,300 applications measured at a single customer site — with real-time visibility tracking changes over time. FogLifter distinguishes between real data quality issues and allowed variances (ephemeral VMs, containers that come and go), so teams focus on fixes that matter. Patching management across this environment achieved 99% compliance across 1,100 critical applications .
85% reduction in billing disputes through automated reconciliation of invoice line items against contract terms and actual consumption. Invoice generation and validation cycles compressed from days to hours with full auditability at every step. $110K per month in FTE savings from eliminating manual reconciliation labor. The Validation View gives both parties a shared workspace to resolve differences in the same billing period they're raised.
Evidence demonstrating how FogLifter achieves outcomes in each financial management solution.
$55M+ in cumulative savings across enterprise deployments, driven by full cost attribution from invoice to service to owner. FogLifter surfaces cost of service — not just cost of assets. The iceberg includes underutilization, labor to maintain optimal performance, KPI discrepancies, and the financial impact of delays. One engagement identified $3.5M in annual cost avoidance by connecting spend to service context for the first time.
SLA-to-KPI-to-SLO chaining measured across 3 suppliers at a single customer site. Instead of knowing that infrastructure was up 99.99% while the application was slow, FogLifter bundles components into service-level measurements — clinician app availability, consumer banking uptime — that the business actually cares about. 99% security compliance maintained across 1,100 critical applications, with 97.8% compliance year over year.
Customers routinely discover 25–30% cloud utilization — running a fraction of provisioned capacity when the whole point of cloud was elasticity. FogLifter connects utilization data to service ownership and contract terms, turning a vague "we should optimize" into an evidence-backed right-sizing plan. One customer found 1,200 Microsoft SQL Server licenses purchased with only a fraction in active use — invisible until analytics connected license records to actual application usage.
$16M+ saved at a major aerospace and defense manufacturer through real cost-of-service analytics across servers, storage, middleware, data, backups, and labor — with improved planning and visibility through forecasting and dashboarding. Financial reconciliation in production across 52 currencies, 70 tax structures, and 81 countries in a single FogLifter environment. 35 QA reports generated for audit and governance support.
Shared-asset allocation moved from peanut-butter-spread estimates to evidence-based consumption attribution. FogLifter correlates across dimensions that wouldn't be immediately obvious: network endpoints, server access patterns, software license utilization, and geographic access points. Millions in previously unrealized chargeback revenue recovered. Business units accept allocations because the evidence is visible and the methodology is transparent.
Cost of assets is the per-unit price. Cost of service is the iceberg: underutilization, human effort to maintain, KPI discrepancies, and the financial impact of delays. FogLifter layers each of these nuances onto the unit cost — not just measuring FTEs or per-gigabyte rates, but the full operational picture. $3.5M in annual cost avoidance from a single customer engagement. $110K per month in FTE savings through automated reconciliation and dispute elimination.
"Success isn't just the savings figure — it's when a finance leader can answer a question about their IT costs without calling three people first. When the data is verified and the context is there, the question becomes easy. That's what we're building toward with every customer."
