How the Cloud made Performance Appear on the Board Agenda

Cloud spending is growing! Gartner predicts a 20% surge to 678.8 billion in 2024, making it a top expense after personnel for many organisations. In fact, 78% of US businesses and 54% in EMEA already leverage the cloud for diverse needs, from infrastructure and storage to development. However, a crucial question lingers: are we maximising our cloud investments? This year, boards are wanting to know the answer this question as investments continue to increase due to new technologies such as LLM. Thankfully, by delving deeper into cloud performance characteristics, we can unlock valuable insights. This keynote will explore how understanding performance empowers organisations to extract the full potential of their cloud, transforming cost and performance data into strategic advantage.
