Cloud cost management is not merely a technical challenge; it is a critical business reality. Imagine a company launching a new app only to watch cloud costs spiral out of control. With tighter budgets and a push for more sustainable resources, every dollar matters. Although cloud cost management and optimization (CCMO) tools are widely available, many companies still exceed their cloud budgets. Why is this the case? Forrester predicts that global public cloud spending will exceed $1 trillion by 2026, highlighting the urgent need for more effective CCMO strategies.
While 65% of organizations implement CCMO tactics early in their cloud development, most lack proactive approaches at the architectural level. What is missing? Integration. Disconnected systems and siloed data create an incomplete picture of cloud expenses. Initiatives focused on integration and modernization can help leaders manage spending productively before issues arise, enhancing ROI.
In our latest blog, learn how proactive cloud cost management begins with integration and modernization. Discover how Boomi iPaaS integration unifies your applications, data, and teams, turning the tide on cost control.
Cloud Cost Culprits: What’s Driving the Surge?
Managing cloud costs can be challenging, especially when unproductiveness creeps into cloud operations. In 2026, cloud workloads and costs are set to increase even faster. Here are key factors contributing to rising cloud costs:
- Inefficient cloud architecture: A poorly designed cloud infrastructure leads to underutilized resources and unnecessary expenses. With optimized resource allocation and performance tuning, organizations may spend on computing power that goes unused or underperforming applications that require more costly maintenance.
- Lack of integration strategies: 44% of leaders identify the absence of an integration strategy as a critical driver of rising cloud workload costs. Inadequate integration between cloud services and on-premise systems can cause redundancies and data silos. This results in inefficient data transfer processes, higher operational costs, and complex workflows. A clear, strategic integration plan can streamline operations and significantly reduce costs.
- Excessive storage and overconsumption of network bandwidth: As unorganized data grows, managing it becomes increasingly complex, making it harder to extract valuable insights and optimize processes. This inefficiency often leads to higher cloud costs. Similarly, excessive network bandwidth consumption—frequently caused by unoptimized data transfers or unnecessary workloads—adds to cloud expenses.
- Underused or underutilized resources: Many organizations provision cloud resources but fail to decommission unused instances or storage. Regular audits and automated resource management can help identify and eliminate these inefficiencies.
- Lack of cost monitoring and governance: Cloud usage can spiral out of control without proper governance and cost-tracking tools. Implementing cost management policies and monitoring tools can provide visibility into spending and prevent unexpected expenses.
