I’m on the cloud. You’re on the cloud. We’re all on the cloud. According to Flexera’s State of the Cloud 2022 survey, almost two-thirds of all SMB workloads are now on the cloud. But, as we move more and more of our IT — lock, stock, and two smoking servers — to the cloud, you must make sure you know what you’re getting into.
Far too many people don’t. By Flexera’s count of more than 750 businesses, almost a third of businesses end up wasting money. With over half of SMBs spending more than $1.2 million on the cloud, that’s real money. Adding insult to injury, cloud projects usually come in at an average of 13% over budget. Ow!
