From cloud confusion to clarity and control
As businesses transition to hybrid IT environments, a significant hidden cost emerges: managing software license expenses in the cloud—a challenge too complex for ITAM or FinOps teams to tackle alone.

While a BYOL strategy can save money, determining whether it's the best fit for your organization is a nuanced process. From workload type to project duration, many factors need careful consideration. The key to making informed decisions lies in fostering a strong collaboration between your ITAM and FinOps teams.
