Optimization of public cloud services and IT infrastructure is increasingly important as cloud adoption grows and more employees work remotely. Over 40% of the U.S. workforce now works from home full-time, accessing work information through personal applications in many cases. The biggest challenges many organizations face in the cloud are a lack of cost control and opportunities for optimization. Optimizing cloud spend and IT resources can help lower costs, reduce technical debt, streamline operations, and improve delivery of new projects.
