Navigating Cloud Economics

Many federal agencies have yet to find efficient methods of maximizing their cloud usage in a cost-effective way. Studies show that approximately 50-60% of cloud spend is focused on cloud service provider (CSP) usage. If an organization focuses on resell contracts aimed at negotiating CSP discounts, they may overlook implementing other solutions, such as discount service level agreements (SLA). These discount SLAs have the potential to curtail costs through a more practical, clever framework that can maximize cloud usage and optimize costs. How can cloud operations teams across federal organizations best collaborate on adopting an effective, cost-efficient cloud strategy? Join Apptio and GovExec for this webcast examining how the federal government can leverage the full potential of cloud savings through the use of efficient strategies and contracting, including SLAs.
