How automation and culture help curb cloud overspend
Business leaders struggling to rein in rising costs can turn to technical solutions, but overruns are also a people problem.
What are the main challenges of cloud cost management?
One of the primary challenges in cloud cost management is the lack of visibility into cloud computing costs. Many companies struggle with understanding their spending, as nearly 3 in 4 organizations exceeded their estimated cloud budgets last year. Additionally, the cultural aspect of accountability within teams can complicate cost management, as IT leaders often lack training in mediation and team dynamics.
How can automation help control cloud spending?
Automation can play a significant role in managing cloud costs by providing alerts when spending surpasses certain thresholds. For example, Broadridge Financial Solutions implemented automated alerts to help their IT team monitor cloud allocations, which contributed to their efforts in reducing costs effectively.
What role does company culture play in cloud cost management?
A culture of accountability is crucial for effective cloud cost management. When organizations foster this culture, it encourages collaboration among teams to address overspending issues. As highlighted by industry experts, integrating accountability into the organizational culture can significantly enhance the effectiveness of both human and technological solutions in controlling cloud costs.
