For many IT leaders, cloud costs have become the wild card in the budget. Usage-based billing, surprise license changes, and hidden fees make it nearly impossible to forecast expenses accurately. CFOs get frustrated, projects stall, and innovation slows—not because the technology fails, but because the budget does.
Traditional cloud models force IT and finance into constant conflict. Teams either overprovision “just in case,” wasting thousands on unused resources, or underprovision, leading to outages that put the business at risk. Add in sudden licensing shifts—like Broadcom’s VMware changes—and cost planning becomes a moving target.
Predictable pricing is about more than avoiding sticker shock. It’s about aligning IT strategy with business strategy. When IT leaders know what to expect, they can confidently plan upgrades, negotiate with finance, and drive innovation without fearing budget overruns.
