The last 18 months has seen massive acceleration taking place in how technology has been adopted, procured and deployed.  Traditional cost and risk governance models  struggle to keep up with this transformation. The consequence is increasing costs due to “all in” cloud and licensing contracts, commercial complexity and unmanaged consumption.
