R Systems & Mavvrik partner to boost AI cost transparency

Wed, 4th Jun 2025

R Systems and Mavvrik have announced a strategic partnership aimed at helping enterprises manage financial control and visibility over growing investments in AI, cloud, and hybrid infrastructure.

The adoption of AI solutions by businesses has led to increased complexity in infrastructure costs, making it challenging to monitor and allocate expenses accurately. Factors such as untracked usage, cost attribution gaps, shared services, and disconnected billing data have made it more difficult for organisations to identify the true origin of costs and assess their return on investment. The collaboration between R Systems and Mavvrik is intended to support companies transitioning from reactive monitoring towards proactive governance in financial operations across their technology environments.

The partnership will offer enterprises a combination of R Systems' Dexterity Assessment Framework and Mavvrik's real-time cost intelligence platform. This approach is expected to deliver greater transparency and actionable insights around spending on digital infrastructure.

Key features of the solution include real-time financial visibility through unified dashboards that capture and attribute infrastructure costs based on product, service, or business unit. The joint offering also provides automated policy enforcement, GPU chargebacks, and budgeting controls designed to help organisations manage expenditure and prevent overspending. Additionally, the solution is intended to facilitate faster decision-making through the provision of insights that inform pricing, forecasting, and investment strategies in complex IT settings.

Commenting on the partnership, Srikara Rao, Chief Technology Officer at R Systems, said: "As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, they're not just managing higher infrastructure costs but also navigating a new layer of financial and operational complexity. Traditional cost models were never designed for the dynamic, GPU-intensive, and hybrid environments AI demands. This R Systems– Mavvrik partnership is about helping businesses move from reactive cost tracking to proactive financial governance, so they can scale responsibly, with clarity, control, and confidence."

Sundeep Goel, Chief Executive Officer of Mavvrik, also addressed the growing challenges facing enterprises, stating: "AI isn't just a new workload, it's a multiplier for cost complexity across the stack. From cloud sprawl to opaque billing and siloed cost data, enterprises are struggling to govern spend. This partnership brings together the proven technology and expertise to help teams regain control and scale with confidence."

The partnership is a response to the evolving requirements of organisations that are investing heavily in both the development and operation of AI and digital infrastructure. By combining expertise and technologies, R Systems and Mavvrik claim their solution will assist clients in identifying the primary drivers of costs, enforcing financial discipline, and maximising the return on their technology investments.

Through real-time dashboards, automated controls, and unified insights, the joint solution is positioned to address problems such as fragmented expense tracking and lack of data transparency. The goal is to enable companies to understand and manage complex cost structures in environments that utilise a mix of AI, on-premise, and cloud-based technology.

R Systems provides digital product engineering services and focuses on supporting clients in areas including cloud, data, AI, and customer experience for enterprises across sectors such as telecom, media, finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and public services. The company delivers software products and digital platforms with a product-first approach and offers automation and integration services, including Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and no-code/low-code solutions.

Mavvrik specialises in financial control for organisations adopting AI and hybrid infrastructure through real-time cost visibility, intelligent attribution of expenses, and proactive budget enforcement. Their technology is used to provide enterprises with tools to manage, optimise, and forecast their digital infrastructure spending.

The partnership's focus on delivering measurable control, budgetary policy enforcement, and spend visibility is intended to support companies as they scale their technology investments and integrate AI-driven services. The alignment between R Systems' engineering and evaluation experience with Mavvrik's platform is expected to address challenges related to cloud expenditure, transparent billing data, and cost accountability across dynamic IT environments.
