Opportunity
Cloud spend is expected to hit roughly $600 billion this year, growing at 22.5% YoY.
Nearly half of all enterprises struggle to control cloud expenses and more than a quarter take weeks or months to detect cost increases.
Cloud costs are the fastest growing expenditure and primary source of budgetary complexity for most companies, requiring a great deal of ongoing effort and resources.
