How to Fund Innovation with Cloud Optimisation

Here’s what we discussed:
Many companies bounce from one cost reduction initiative to another rather than addressing underlying FinOps issues. As a result, mondernisation and innovation initiatives are often underfunded and under-resourced. Embracing a culture of optimisation will free up funding and resources to accelerate all aspects of modernisation.
Come and hear how a true FinOps practice can stop you from chasing the symptoms and instead provide the necessary governance and spend discipline to address the root causes of cloud spend challenges.
During this session, we discussed how a few innovators are leveraging the potential of the cloud to build a new operating model that replaces “economies of scale” with “economies of speed”. What are the implications of this faster, more flexible approach for your business?

Talk To Us About Attending Future Events
Here’s what attendees at past events have said:
Director, Large Business Customer Experience, NRG Energy
A lot of other conferences I’ve gone to are driven off a podium, someone presenting me a solution before they understand my problem. Here I have an opportunity to talk to my peers and learn from them.
Sr. Director Care Strategy & CX, GoDaddy
I’m not part of some enormous crowd out there. I’m getting lot of interaction, hearing from people, their own personal stories. Individual examples of how people are leveraging their CX skills in their industry, in their business, in the work that they do everyday.
Principal, Zeisler Consulting
Very intimate, Very one-on-one! You are able to really get a lot of candid responses, so we’re getting a ton of value from that and a lot of valuable insights.
Director, Global Digital Marketing and Customer experience, Stanley Black and Decker.
