You have a precarious balance to maintain. On the one hand, you must be able to deliver to your users the cloud-based tools they need to do the best possible versions of their jobs. On the other hand, you must do so within the budgetary constraints of your business. To compound your challenge, almost any connected user in your business can easily purchase a service on any of a number of public cloud platforms. Which means you must manage the costs of resources that can change at any time, with or without your knowledge or consent.
