Just last month, we shared things to consider if you are looking into the Cloud as your business data storage solution. There are certainly many benefits to this wonderful resource. However, we want to make sure that you are never hit with a cloud bill that can put a serious strain on your budget. While reports show that cloud spending has increased significantly since last year, there are things you can do to keep costs down and avoid overspending, underused resources, and unexpected costs. Tech Eagles can be a great help to you in this way, ensuring that you succeed in the cloud and can turn saved money into revenue.
First, you want to make sure that you are cutting the expenses you don’t need while trying to get the maximum value from the resources you are pouring your money into. This is called Cloud Cost Optimization. You can do this successfully by cutting out little or never-used resources; adjusting resource sizes to fit your actual workload needs; and planning logistically to support your long-term business growth. This does include management, yes, but also it is strategic in nature.
Why does it seem that controlling cloud costs can be so difficult? How is it that your bill can so easily spiral out of control? One of the reasons is a lack of visibility in how your money is being spent across services and teams. Poor budgeting is also a factor, especially when cloud costs can frequently fluctuate; this facilitates a need for regular examination of usage trends. Wasted and unused resources can be overlooked and may add up quicker than you might realize, quietly racking up extra expenses. Additionally, complex pricing and insufficient training on cloud efficiency can make pricing models difficult to understand, leaving you in the dark about what you are paying for but don’t need.
Despite the doom and gloom of all this, there really are wonderful reasons to optimize the Cloud for your business! When properly used, you can improve your bottom line, allowing you to invest in other areas of your business. Your team will spend less time chasing data and, instead, being able to focus on building more valuable features. You will have the ability to move faster, experiment, and launch new features without fear of overspending. And above all, you will spend less, save more, and have fewer surprises, allowing you to plan ahead with confidence.
Your cloud bills shouldn’t be a mystery to you, nor should they take you by surprise. Tech Eagles can help you develop a strategy to save you time, money, and improve your business. Instead of waiting on your next invoice while holding your breath, call us today and take proactive steps to optimize this useful business tool.
