The adoption of cloud technology has been on the rise and for good reason - businesses streamline their operations, improve their agility, and reduce costs. However, with the increasing complexity of cloud environments, managing costs has become increasingly important.

This is where cloud cost management comes into play. It refers to the processes and tools used to control, monitor, and optimize the costs associated with cloud usage. With effective cloud cost management, you can maximize the value of cloud investments and achieve the desired outcomes.

Moving to the cloud can deliver strategic advantages in terms of cost and risk reduction while strengthening disaster recovery and delivering scalability in an uncertain business environment. But while the benefits of cloud adoption are inarguable, doing so at the right time is crucial to business success.

As with any new technology, migrating to the cloud in Saudi Arabia requires asking a few strategic questions.
