It plagues organizations, creating unnecessary expenses and reduced efficiency. To address this, organizations have turned to traditional cloud cost management tools that focus primarily on identifying idle resources and underutilized instances. Frequently, the recommendations from these tools result in either downsizing or termination; their scope is limited, which in turn limits the savings their users can achieve.Traditional, current cost management tools are limited...Mon, 28 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://www.pointfive.co/blog/deepwaste-detection-a-revolutionary-approach-to-cloud-cost-optimizationhttps://pages.matillion.com/rs/992-UIW-731/images/Matillion_VBSurveyDataReport_v2.pdfMon, 28 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://pages.matillion.com/rs/992-UIW-731/images/Matillion_VBSurveyDataReport_v2.pdfhttps://www.pointfive.co/blog/introducing-pointfive-the-new-leader-in-cloud-efficiencyToday, we announced that PointFive has emerged from stealth.Over the past decade of working together, Gal Ben David, Amir Hozez, and I witnessed firsthand the pressing need for organizations to effectively manage cloud costs.

Research expects the global IT outsourcing market to grow to more than a billion dollars within the next decade, prompted by the benefits of outsourcing — decreased onboarding and recruitment costs, increased delivery speed and filled talent gaps.

Since the 1980s, researchers have found that fixing an issue after delivery can be 100 times more expensive than identifying and addressing a bug early on. Twenty years later, the National Institute of Standards and Technology estimated that bad code post-deployment costs 30 times more. In 2024, bad code continues to plague companies, a critical problem as businesses rely on the power of their software to meet their goals and remain competitive.

The simple answer: Because there is so much opportunity.
