What’s new
- Cloud costs (hosting, compute, storage) are inflating ~3% YoY.
- Despite hype, GenAI hasn’t yet become a major budget item in most enterprises.
Why this matters
This shows the tension between innovation and cost stability. Cloud cost creep eats into margins, while enterprises hesitate to fully fund GenAI at scale until ROI clarity emerges.
Atgeir’s viewpoint
- Cost modelling for analytics/GenAI is no longer optional.
- Phased, small pilots with transparent ROI are the way forward.
- Atgeir partners with clients to build TCO forecasts, guardrails, and hybrid architectures to hedge against inflation.
