Why cloud costs matter now

Cloud cost optimization is not only about reducing spend. It starts with a more fundamental question: Are cloud resources being used in a way that supports your business priorities? In this introductory webinar, Dr. Andreas T. Bachmeier provides an overview of how organizations can think about cloud spending more strategically - balancing cost efficiency with value creation, speed, sustainability, security, flexibility, and performance.

Based on practical experience, overspending on cloud resources can represent a significant optimization potential. However, the webinar also emphasizes that optimization should not be approached as a purely technical or cost-cutting exercise. Instead, cloud spending should be linked to business outcomes, and optimization measures should be evaluated against their measurable impact.

This session is designed as a compact introduction to the topic - helping decision-makers and project teams understand the key questions, trade-offs, and starting points before launching broader cloud cost optimization initiatives.
