Here’s what we discussed:

Cloud services are becoming the largest expense in the IT budget, and understanding the economics of cloud operations is no longer a nice-to-have.

During this interactive session, NTT:

  • Shared real-life success stories of companies that have seen a 10-15% reduction in cloud spend by adopting best practices in cloud economics.
  • Explored strategies to eliminate over-provisioning, idle instances, replicated workloads, and redundant storage resources, potentially leading to substantial savings.
  • Discussed the importance of understanding resource utilization, accurately forecasting future costs, and aligning cloud usage with strategic business value for long-term benefits.
  • Highlighted the growing trend of building in-house FinOps teams that foster collaboration between engineering, finance, technology, and business departments for maximum results.
