IBM Cloudability Savings Automation

Supercharge the savings from your commitment program

Public cloud consumption contributes an ever-increasing percentage of overall technology spend — and cloud leaders need to ensure they get the best pricing for their organizations. Commitment-based discounting like reserved instances and savings plans reduce cloud costs and improve efficiency, as described within the Optimize FinOps phase. But while these savings instruments require minimal to no engineering effort, they typically require time-intensive, manual, day-to-day analysis and come with the risk of waste.

Through 2024, 60% of large enterprises executing public cloud commitment contracts will underestimate consumption rates, compromising their negotiation leverage, and regularly costing an additional $1 million or more through lost concessions.
