Cloud cost management has matured rapidly: FinOps functions now exist in 80% of organizations and formal programs have doubled over the past year. But at the same time governance has improved, AI arrived and upended the equation. Forty percent of companies now spend more than $10 million annually on AI, rapidly approaching cloud spend levels.
Despite rising FinOps maturity, efficiency is deteriorating. Overall, cloud efficiency rates fell from 80% to 65% – a drastic drop in one year. Most organizations are managing AI providers like they do cloud service providers, when they really need a fundamentally different approach, grounded in unit economics, to deal with AI cost drivers such as tokens, prompts, and model choices. This webinar will highlight key findings from our just-published original research and provide precise, actionable steps teams can take to gain control over rising AI and cloud infrastructure costs. We’ll explore why AI is changing the game and how you can get ahead of this fast growing area of investment.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why cloud efficiency is collapsing at the same time FinOps maturity is rising and how you can avoid the trap
- How AI breaks traditional cost management assumptions – and resets margin and profit assumptions in your organization
- Why only 22% of organizations can measure cost per transaction – and how getting insight into granular unit economics can help you be profitable
- What leaders must do now to think beyond “cost” related to their AI investment and align it to value, margin, and profitability
