Concurrency ’ s company cloud strategies to help reduce waste
Around 30-40 % of a company ’ s cloud spending could be considered a waste , but proper governance can help reduce this , says Concurrency ’ s Nathan Lasnoski
As the adoption of cloud technology continues to grow , many businesses are facing a common challenge : how to effectively use the cloud to drive new revenue streams and reduce waste . According to Nathan Lasnoski , Chief Technology Officer of IT consulting company Concurrency , the answer is proper governance .
“ If you think about the mission of every business , each is unique to the company , but technology is being infused in that mission ,” says Lasnoski . “ And as it expresses that mission with technology , it ’ s more and more often running on a cloud platform .”
Concurrency offers project-based consulting , organisational change management , customer service management , sales solutions , and IT management services . With a long history of success and numerous awards , Concurrency is a respected name in the industry .
“ Cloud platforms need to be governed and secure because it ’ s the foundation of the work that the business is using the cloud for ,” says Lasnoski . He likens it to driving a car on a well-paved road with guardrails compared to a gravel road in snowy conditions . Unfortunately , the waste of cloud resources is a common issue . An estimated 30-40 % of cloud spending is considered waste , often due to a need for understanding vendor discounts and spend optimisation opportunities . Cloud governance can address this issue by promoting the responsible use of cloud platforms and improving cost efficiency , security , controls , and visibility .
With effective cloud governance , businesses can turn their cloud usage into an asset , delivering capabilities and value with a direct return on investment . Working with a company like Concurrency means that businesses can ensure their cloud usage is a driving force for success , delivering capabilities and value with a direct return on investment . With the right approach , businesses can turn the challenges of cloud adoption into opportunities for growth and success .
