 Back by popular demand, our team is offering a no-cost evaluation to organizations trying to determine how to best control and optimize their spend in the public cloud. This complimentary scan provides an expert-led review of your client’s cloud environment, designed to identify inefficiencies, misconfigurations, and potential savings – often up to 30%.

From there, if desired, clients can choose to move into a paid, more in-depth Cloud Cost Assessment, through which TierPoint engineers confirm savings that can be implemented safely, without introducing downstream risk.

These steps are the perfect starting point for cost optimization, a top priority for enterprises, according to the 2025 State of the Cloud Report from Flexera, p. 25. (Learn more about the Flexera report in the next article.)

Why this matters for partners: Our Public Cloud team consistently sees these initial evaluations lead to follow-on projects, wherein we work with partners and their clients to implement savings strategies and provide ongoing optimization through TierPoint’s Professional managed services bundle.

The latest edition of this closely followed annual report offers a number of helpful insights into today’s cloud marketplace, including these facts.

• Public cloud spend is increasing, p. 15.  This finding tracks with TierPoint’s own experience. Year-to-date, we’ve set records for the best month (March), quarter (Q1), trailing six months, and trailing 12 months since launching our public cloud practice in mid-2022.
• 60% of companies use an MSP for managing some or most of their public cloud usage, p. 34.
• Managing cloud spend was the #1 challenge for both enterprise and SMB respondents to the survey, followed by security, p. 38.
• With spend management topping the list of cloud challenges, it should be no surprise that Financial Operations (FinOps) managers are more actively involved in cloud buying. To illustrate: 13% of survey respondents were from FinOps in the latest report, up from 5% in the prior report, p. 84. And Flexera expects this representation to further increase in the future.
