>90% of companies are overspending on cloud resources. On average, 30-40% depending on provider (AWS is typically the worst).
>75% of IT/Engineering teams have overbuilt their environments to leverage the latest & greatest tech stacks / toolsets with no justifiable business need.
>50% will confidently state they have “optimized” their environment and in almost every case there is money being left on the table.

>50% of IT / Engineering leaders became incredibly defensive when presented with savings analysis which almost always included reduction in technical complexity of stack. We have since pivoted and marketing/engaging almost exclusively to CEO/CFO as first contact.
>50% of companies had one of more cloud costing/monitoring tools in place that was not being leveraged, or worse, gamed to produce inaccurate reports.
