Summary

If companies can get the same value for less money, they’ll do it. If they’re invested in cloud, optimizing costs is a no-brainer, but that requires more than a one-time adjustment. Cloud cost optimization demands investment in technology, the creation of a new team, and changes in how a company thinks about and handles its cloud spend. This requires a shift across people, process, and technology — plus, for this scale of change and investment, a business case. This report helps cloud leaders build that business case for their FinOps journey. We’ll walk through how to apply Forrester’s Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) model to cloud cost optimization tooling and to the larger FinOps practice.
