Cloud costs are out of control. 72% of decision-makers report their company exceeded its set cloud budget in the last fiscal year.

Companies continue to blow past their allotted cloud budgets despite the high adoption of cloud cost management and optimization (CCMO) tools. So, how can leaders rein in costs and transform their company’s ability to more effectively manage spend?

Join Matt McLarty, CTO at Boomi, and featured guest Lee Sustar, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, for an engaging discussion covering findings from a recent Forrester Consulting thought leadership paper commissioned by Boomi, “Cloud Costs Are Out Of Control: Integration And Modernization Can Help Rein Them In.”

Key takeaways include:
  • Current cloud cost management strategies
  • Why companies are struggling to rein in costs
  • How to significantly improve the ability to manage cloud spend (with modernization and integration initiatives)
