6 Tips For Controlling Cloud Spend In A Migration
Tierpoint, Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025
Cloud migration can offer a lot of benefits for your overall IT budget. On-premises IT environments largely operate on a capital expenditure (CapEx) model, where businesses must invest in significant hardware, maintenance, and physical space.
Adopting the cloud shifts IT spending to an operational expense (OpEx) model, allowing businesses to upgrade, scale, and allocate resources more flexibly. Cloud migrations also provide an opportunity to upgrade legacy systems, improving integrations and automations.
In the long term, these shifts can reduce expenses-a key goal of technology investments for 38% of IT leaders. But if left unattended, cloud spend can pile up, reducing its budgetary benefits. By knowing what's included with cloud spend and how to control it, you can learn to anticipate issues before they break the bank.
