Lost in Cloud

The journey to the cloud starts with a vision of flexibility, scalability, and faster innovation, but in practice, companies often face higher costs, fragmented environments, and a lack of governance and automation.

Typical “Lost in Cloud” Symptoms

Many companies eventually realize they have deviated from their original plan. The most common issues are:

  • Uncontrolled costs and budget overruns
  • Fragmented identities and tenants
  • Lack of governance and standards
  • Shadow IT outside central oversight
  • Incomplete or failed migrations
  • Weak monitoring and reactive support
Illustrative diagram showing the typical symptoms of being “Lost in Cloud” and the return to the right path through assessment and review, governance and security, FinOps and cost optimization, and effective operations and support.

Companies often start with a clear cloud strategy, but over time it gets disrupted by new projects, exceptions, and rising costs. The result can be a state we call “Lost in the Cloud” – an environment without control, visibility, or a clear operating model.

Service Catalog

Our service catalogue includes all necessary services for strategy, analysis, design, development, and operation of the cloud environment. This is complemented by services for managing the entire cloud transformation process and IT security services that protect the environment and data against security threats.

What our customers ask us (FAQ)

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about topics related to the cloud journey.

How can we find out which cloud services we are actually using and paying for?
Many organizations gradually lose visibility into their cloud resources, especially when multiple teams or departments are involved. Proper cloud management provides a centralized view of services, costs, and ownership, making it easier to manage resources efficiently and maintain control.
Why are our cloud costs increasing faster than expected?
Rising cloud costs are often caused by unused resources, improperly configured services, or a lack of consumption monitoring. Regular optimization and continuous oversight help identify cost-saving opportunities and ensure better budget control.
How can we ensure security and compliance in a cloud environment?
A secure cloud environment requires clearly defined policies, access management, continuous monitoring, and compliance controls. With the right governance framework in place, organizations can significantly reduce security risks and operational issues while meeting internal and regulatory requirements.
How can we gain better control over a cloud environment used by multiple teams?

Cloud environments should be managed through consistent policies and processes. Establishing standards for resource management, cost control, security, and accountability helps improve transparency and enables effective collaboration across the organization.

What should we do if we feel “lost in the cloud”?

When cloud environments grow faster than the processes used to manage them, it may be time for a comprehensive review. Assessing cloud services, costs, security, and operational practices can help identify gaps and create a clear roadmap for more efficient and sustainable cloud management.
