Our Service
Why the need for this service
- The worldwide public cloud market grew 21.4 percent in 2018 to total $186.4 billion, up from $153.5 billion in 2017
- As more organisations are bursting into the cloud, market trends indicate that organisations are struggling to contain cloud costs. A lack of governance and controls often mean that organisations realise the true cost of deploying cloud resources too little, too late.
- The focus on supporting costs are often overlooked or considered to be a lower priority, particularly by IT operations and project teams and as a result monthly ‘Bill shock’ that IT is having to try and explain, is becoming more apparent.
- Projects and products keep getting delivered but the monthly cloud costs keep increasing, this is eroding the bottom line profits of these successful outcomes.
