Companies migrating to cloud save 30% on IT costs

A Flexera report shows that organizations that strategically migrate to cloud save an average of 30% on IT budget. But the key word is "strategically" — a chaotic migration can increase costs by 35%.

Where do savings come from?

• Hardware elimination — physical servers, UPS, cooling, dedicated space
• Pay-as-you-go — pay only for what you use, scale instantly
• Reduced maintenance IT staff — cloud provider handles uptime
• Included disaster recovery — automatic backup, geographic failover

The trap: cloud sprawl

The #1 problem for companies in cloud is cloud sprawl — resources started and forgotten. Studies show 32% of cloud resources are wasted: idle VMs, unused storage, redundant licenses.

Pre-migration checklist

1. Application audit — what to migrate, rewrite, or keep on-premise
2. Cost estimation — 3-year TCO calculator (cloud vs on-premise)
3. Security assessment — access control, data encryption, GDPR compliance
4. Phased migration plan — not everything at once, app by app
5. Monitoring & alerting — cost dashboard with overspend alerts
