Your Cloud Bill Keeps Growing — But Is Your Infrastructure Actually More Efficient?: Inside the Forrester Total Economic Impact™ Report (Part 3)
Your Cloud Bill Keeps Growing. Is Your Infrastructure Actually More Efficient?
More spend doesn't always mean more value — and for a growing number of CFOs and FinOps leaders, that gap is becoming impossible to ignore. Gartner has flagged this shift directly, elevating strategic cost management to its own place on the Hype Cycle. The question has moved from "how much are we spending on cloud" to "is that spend actually producing the outcomes the business expects?"
Overprovisioned infrastructure, underused resources, and scaling models that add cost faster than they add capacity don't show up as one clean line item. They show up as quiet, compounding financial pressure — the kind that's hard to trace and even harder to defend in a budget review
Join Silk for the third session in our Forrester Total Economic Impact™ series, looking at how enterprises are closing that gap — improving utilization, cutting infrastructure waste, and strengthening cloud ROI without touching performance. Using findings from Forrester's independent TEI study, we'll break down what's actually driving measurable financial outcomes, not theoretical savings.
What we'll cover:
- The hidden financial impact of infrastructure overprovisioning
- How to improve utilization without increasing operational risk
- Strategies for reducing cloud waste at scale
- How organizations are improving ROI from cloud investments
- Financial outcomes from the Forrester TEI study
