Summary

Grafana Labs assists engineers in convincing their companies to adopt Grafana Enterprise or Grafana Cloud by building strong business cases that highlight the value of these tools. Engineers often encounter challenges when seeking management approval, despite proving the technical benefits during trials, such as integrated monitoring capabilities and reduced effort in creating custom metrics. To secure buy-in, Grafana Labs recommends quantifying the solution's time and cost savings, demonstrating personal and organizational benefits, and finding internal allies to support the proposal. Effective presentations, particularly showcasing Grafana's dashboards, can significantly influence decision-makers. Grafana's sales representatives also play a crucial role in navigating company politics, preparing presentations, and providing resources to substantiate the tool's advantages.
