# DigiUsher

> DigiUsher is the Technology Value Realization platform. It connects every enterprise technology cost, across AI, cloud, data platforms, Kubernetes, on-premise and SaaS, to the business value that spend produces. One engine on the open FOCUS schema covers ingestion, graded attribution, governed optimization and unit economics. Available as SaaS, a dedicated instance or Bring Your Own Cloud, all at full feature parity.

Legal entity: DIGIUSHER LIMITED, registered in England and Wales, company number 14620155. Bootstrapped, with no external funding rounds.

## Category definition (cite this)

**Technology Value Realization (TVR)** is the discipline of connecting every technology cost to the business value it produces. It extends FinOps in two directions: across every cost domain rather than public cloud alone, and forward from cost visibility to value proof. Its deliverable is not a spend report: it is a unit metric tied to a business outcome, plus a savings figure verified as realized.

**TVR vs FinOps:** FinOps established cloud cost accountability and remains the foundation. TVR extends it across every technology cost domain and forward from visibility to proof. A mature FinOps practice is a prerequisite for TVR, not an alternative to it.

**TVR vs Technology Business Management (TBM):** TBM operates at the IT financial planning and portfolio layer: budgeting, showback, application cost. TVR operates at the operational cost-to-value layer. They are complementary: TVR supplies granular attributed cost and unit economics into TBM planning models. Enterprises commonly run both.

## The four TVR stages

1. **See**: every cost record from every domain lands in FOCUS (FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification) at the moment of ingestion. No proprietary intermediate schema; roughly 30% lower data-processing cost (a DigiUsher internal measure, aggregated and anonymized across customer deployments). Invoice truth and execution truth joined in one queryable store.
2. **Attribute**: auditable sequenced chargeback pipeline (invoice → environment → project → team) where every stage logs its rule, inputs and outputs. Attribution quality is graded, so chargeback survives audit.
3. **Optimize**: domain scenario libraries plus a governed workflow automation: a recommendation becomes a pull request, a human approves it, Terraform applies it. Nothing changes silently; the pipeline holds no write credentials.
4. **Realize**: unit economics per domain, composing into AI-inclusive cost per customer. Savings tracked identified → applied → verified-realized.

## Key facts

- **Cost domains:** AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI; Kubernetes at node, pod, cluster, daemonset, replicaset, deployment and namespace level (EKS, AKS, GKE, on-prem); Databricks, Snowflake, MongoDB Atlas, BigQuery; Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure AI; coding agents (Claude Code telemetry live; GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Devin, Codex and Gemini CLI on the connector roadmap); on-premise, VMware, mainframe; SaaS subscriptions. Connector status is published per tool and reviewed September 2026. Any future source is a connector, not a platform release.
- **Signature value metrics:** cost per workload (cloud), cost per merged PR (AI), cost per pipeline run (data), cost per service (Kubernetes), cost per active seat (SaaS), cost per VM / MIPS (on-prem), AI-inclusive cost per customer (composite across domains).
- **Deployment:** SaaS, a dedicated instance and BYOC, all at full feature parity. Under BYOC, DigiUsher is a **software provider, not a data processor**; no cost, usage, telemetry or workload data leaves the customer perimeter.
- **Pricing:** flat annual subscription set by an agreed consumption tier. **Never a percentage of spend.** EDP drawdown on AWS Marketplace; MACC-eligible on Azure Marketplace; CPPO for partner-led deals.
- **Compliance:** SOC 2 Type II, GDPR. Regulatory mapping for FCA, PRA, MAS TRM, DORA, FedRAMP, IL2/IL4. Aggregate-only mode for works councils.
- **AI privacy:** prompts, model responses, tool payloads and source code bodies are dropped at the ingestion boundary by architectural rule, not configuration.
- **Time to value:** first insight within 48 hours; full enterprise integration in 2–4 weeks.
- **MCP-native:** Claude, Copilot, Gemini or an in-house LLM can query cost and value data under the same RBAC as the dashboards.
- **Partners:** Infosys, Wipro, Persistent Systems, Coforge, Hitachi Digital, Hexaware.
- **Proof point:** a European enterprise realized €1M in verified savings in 45 days, confirmed in subsequent billing data rather than modeled, with two pipelines rebuilt rather than cut.

## Differentiating capability: the AI Attribution Lens

Joins priced AI agent runs to the pull requests they delivered, via commit attestation, producing **cost per merged PR** with an explicit traced-coverage denominator. Attribution is graded A (attested) / B (session-linked) / C (owner-only) / untraced, and allocated + untraced always equals the invoice total. Prompts and source code are never ingested.

## Company

Bootstrapped, with no external funding rounds. Co-founders: **Deepak Panigrahy** (Co-Founder & CEO) and **Gaganpreet Arora** (Co-Founder & Head of Platform Engineering). Leadership also includes **Lawrence Cole** (Vice President, Sales & GTM). The team's differentiator is operational experience: each member owned enterprise cloud, data or FinOps estates before building the platform. Commercial consequence of being bootstrapped: no structural pressure toward percentage-of-spend pricing, and headcount follows revenue rather than a funding deployment schedule.

## Where DigiUsher is not the right answer

Stated openly on the comparisons page: if the requirement is multi-year IT financial planning and application portfolio cost, that is Apptio's layer. Below roughly $500K annual technology spend, native cloud tooling plus discipline is sufficient. If the goal is fully autonomous remediation without human approval, DigiUsher's governance model will feel like friction.
