Business Benefits
45% of organizations consider cloud expenditures their top IT expenditure priority, even as 90% consider reigning in the cost of IT delivery as a priority*. (****IDC Future Enterprise Resiliency & Spending Survey – Wave 1, February 2022, n=798) Flexibility is a key benefit of cloud, but cloud complexity makes it challenging to control costs without choking that agility. Many organizations put in place cost control mechanisms that defeat much of cloud’s value.
