Driving Business Value by Optimizing the Cloud

Delivering sustainable economic growth
May 05, 2025 | MIT Technology Review

To deliver maximum value from the cloud, companies must strike the right balance between cost, security, resilience, and innovation, suggest André Dufour, Robert Ford, and Joseph Wagner in their article for the MIT Technology Review. Allowing users to access IT systems from anywhere in the world, cloud services also ensure that solutions remain highly configurable and automated. At the same time, hosted services like generative AI and tailored industry solutions help companies quickly launch applications and grow the business. To get the most out of these services, companies are turning to cloud optimization - the process of selecting and allocating cloud resources to reduce costs while maximizing performance. But despite all the interest in the cloud, many workloads remain stranded on-premises, and many more are not optimized for efficiency and growth, greatly limiting their forward momentum. https://ter.li
