Our story Let's dive in

Common Challenges

While your company, cloud architecture and services you use might be different, some of these challenges might sound familiar to you:

Expertise & Knowledge Issues
• Lack of in-depth cloud expertise and market knowledge;
• No clear understanding on how to plan and optimize their cloud resources;
• No experience with negotiating Cloud and SaaS agreements.
Time & Resource Constraints
• Limited Time for Optimization. Cost optimization is an extra chore for engineering teams;
• Time-intensive internal back and forth leads to Leadership or C-Level involvement, which is costly and time-consuming
Communication & Alignment
• Miscommunication between teams often results in poor negotiation outcomes;
• Alignment between engineering and procurement teams is usually time-intensive as both don't understand the challenges of the other team.
