"We'rerunning workloads across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, but we have absolutelyno unified view of our spending. Each platform has different billingstructures, and by the time we get the bills, we've already overspent by 40%.Our finance team is pulling their hair out trying to reconcileeverything."

"Ourcloud costs swing wildly from month to month - sometimes £15k, sometimes £45k -and we can't predict or explain why. The development teams say they're just'doing their jobs,' but we're burning through our IT budget faster than we cantrack. We need proper financial governance around cloud usage."
Head of IT Operations, E-commerce Company
"We know we're wasting money on cloud resources, but we can't pin point where. Half our instances are probably oversized, we've got storage we don't need, and nobody knows who's responsible for what costs. It's like trying to manage a budget with your eyes closed."
VP Finance, Manufacturing Firm
"Our developers spin up resources without proper tagging, so when the bill comes, we can't allocate costs to the right projects or departments. We're spending hours each month trying to work out who should pay for what, and it's causing friction between teams."
Cloud Infrastructure Manager, Media Company
"We bought reserved instances to save money, but half of them are sitting unused while we're paying on-demand rates for other workloads. We don't have the expertise to optimise our cloud purchasing strategy, and it's costing us thousands each month in wasted commitments."
IT Director, Financial Services
"There's no accountability for cloud spending. Engineering teams deploy whatever they want, finance gets surprised by the bills, and management expects us to some how control costs without proper processes or tools. We need someone to help us bridge the gap between technical decisions and financial impact."
