As customers are leveraging the flexibility and scalability of cloud technology and increasing their footprint on public cloud, overall spend in 2023 is set to increase by 21 percent to $592 billion. Simultaneously, executives worldwide are reporting and estimating wastage in their cloud spending. A Gartner survey* estimates an average of 35 percent wastage ranging from 15 percent (highly optimized environment) to 55 percent (no optimization in place).
