FutureCIO, September 19,2025
Most (94%) IT leaders are facing challenges to optimise cloud costs, according to a recent research commissioned by Crayon.
The report by Sapio, which surveyed about 2,300 IT decision-makers across the US, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific region, also shows that 41% of IT budgets are now being directed toward scaling cloud capabilities, primarily to support AI workloads.
Some 40% say that AI will be the top IT cost challenge they face over the next three years, even though the majority (60%) are already using AI to automate IT processes.
