Vanson Bourne study commissioned by Tangoe, Offers Trends for Cloud Communications Community, MSP opportunity driven by AI

AI and GenAI are the top two reasons cloud spending is rising. Another giant driver is automation. As Generative AI and other AI technologies continue to reshape the tech landscape, we are witnessing a dramatic surge in cloud expenditures. A recent study by Vanson Bourne, commissioned by Tangoe, reveals that cloud spending has risen by 30% YoY on average due to GenAI, with a staggering 72% of IT and financial leaders finding these costs unmanageable. In this podcast, Chris Ortbals, Tangoe’s Chief Product Officer walks us through the report’s key findings.

With the GenAI-cloud boom, unchecked cloud spending could make innovation financially unsustainable. The new study provides actionable insights and strategies to help companies manage cloud expenditures, prevent overspending, and maximize their IT investments.

“And what we saw is nearly all organizations are planning to re-repatriate some portion of workloads to private cloud,” says Chris. “Some workloads are getting repatriated back to the private cloud because that’s their ideal space for operating… It’s very much a public and private cloud world, or as everybody likes to say, a hybrid world in this regard.” Chris outlines how the report offers insights into how resources can be well invested and how efficiencies remain to be found. People will not only want to look to sell services but to help customers achieve real gains in productivity.

As we learn, the report presents a timely opportunity for technology advisors to consult with their customers on their cloud transformation results and any ongoing challenges. Teaming with a cloud expense management partner adds value to customer relationships while also offering recurring revenue streams for channel partners.
