How to drive down cost and increase ROI in the cloud

Cloud computing is often a significant expense for organisations, which is why, as a first step, many look to hyperscaler tools to help optimise their costs. These tools can provide generic ideas on how to improve infrastructure, but they are just one piece of the puzzle. To truly optimise cloud costs, organisations need a comprehensive approach that includes several strategic prerequisites.

This involves building a detailed understanding of cloud costs and optimisation opportunities, implementing the technical solutions required to realise these opportunities, and presenting the right data in a compelling format that inspires proactive management. By adopting this strategy, organisations can reduce their risks, streamline their technical operations, reduce their cloud spend, gain greater control over their consumption, and ensure that their cloud budget is used effectively.

• What steps can companies take to gain visibility into their cloud spend and understand the cost drivers of their infrastructure?
• How can organisations implement effective cost optimisation strategies, including the use of cloud cost management tools and automation technologies?
• What role does collaboration and communication play in ensuring that stakeholders understand the impact of cloud cost optimisation and are motivated to take action?
