According to Flexera's 2026 State of the Cloud Report:

📊 ~29% of cloud infrastructure spend is now wasted — the first increase in five years, driven largely by unmanaged AI workloads Flexera

The takeaway? "Set it and forget it" cloud strategies are quietly draining budgets.

At AIS, optimizing cloud spend is part of how we deliver Forward-Thinking Innovation Driving Efficiency — cloud readiness assessments, governance frameworks, and utilization analysis that turn a fuzzy monthly invoice into clear, controllable decisions.

Efficiency isn't about spending less on technology. It's about spending right.
