Cloud computing can enable innovation, dramatically reduce capital and operating costs, increase agility, and reduce time to market for new products and services. The cloud delivers benefits to both the business, through enablement, and IT via operational improvements. In fact, it is often an individual business unit that is leading the enterprise and IT towards cloud adoption.
A key business driver to move to cloud in the first place for most organization is to reduce cost incurred by on-permise infrastructure. Ofen times organizations undermine the complexity of cloud computing and thus one of the challenges faced after moving to cloud is on managing cost.
Some organization may spend more than what was planned or you would like to spend less, Cost-optimization from cloud computing is moving from ‘pay for what you may need’ to ‘pay to what your actual usage / actual need is’.
