"You can't optimise cloud spend if you don't know where it's coming from." In this clip from Future Ready with Bechtle, Kyle van der Linde explains how underutilised and misunderstood cloud resources can continue generating costs long after teams believe they've been removed. As cloud environments become more complex, visibility becomes essential. Kyle discusses how tagging, governance and cost management tooling can help organisations identify wasteful spend, improve accountability and better understand which cloud investments are delivering genuine business value. ▶️ Full episode: Cloud cost optimisation and smarter technology investment  https://lnkd.in/ekGKSMnR #FutureReady #Azure #FinOps #CloudComputing #CloudGovernance #CloudCostManagement #DigitalTransformation #CIO #ITLeadership #BechtleUK

New episode: Cloud cost optimisation and smarter technology investment Cloud platforms have transformed how organisations scale, innovate and deliver services. As cloud estates grow and AI adoption accelerates, gaining visibility and control over technology spend has become a critical business priority. In the latest Future Ready with Bechtle episode, Stephen Harley sits down with Kyle van der Linde, Senior Azure Consultant at Bechtle UK, to explore the realities of FinOps, cloud cost management and why cloud spend should be treated as a deliberate business decision rather than an uncontrolled operational expense. The conversation examines how organisations can improve visibility into cloud consumption, strengthen governance and build accountability across technology teams. Stephen and Kyle also discuss the growing impact AI services are having on cloud costs and why operational discipline is becoming more important than ever. The episode covers: Why cloud spend is driven by decisions rather than simple business growth The challenges organisations face managing cloud costs at scale The importance of accountability and governance in cloud environments How tagging and cost allocation improve visibility into cloud spend Identifying wasteful and underutilised cloud resources The role of FinOps in managing SaaS, AI and cloud consumption Why continuous optimisation is replacing retrospective cost reviews How organisations can align cloud spend to business value The growing impact of AI services and token consumption on cloud costs If you're responsible for cloud strategy, FinOps, technology governance or managing the growing impact of AI on your cloud estate, you can take notes here. ▶️ Watch the full episode: Cloud cost optimisation and smarter technology investment https://lnkd.in/ekGKSMnR #FutureReady #BechtleUK #Azure #FinOps #CloudComputing #CloudGovernance #DigitalTransformation #ArtificialIntelligence #CIO #ITLeadership

How do you turn Microsoft licensing from a complex operational challenge into a strategic business advantage? That's exactly what Forsters LLP, a leading UK law firm, set out to achieve when reviewing its licensing approach. Rather than continuing with a traditional transactional model, the firm wanted a trusted partner that could provide greater visibility, optimise costs and deliver strategic guidance across its Microsoft estate. By working closely with Bechtle, Forsters LLP benefited from a tailored licensing strategy built around consultancy, commercial modelling and licence optimisation. The result was improved cost efficiency, reduced administration for IT and procurement teams, greater governance and compliance, and a stronger foundation for future growth.

Q-Day won't come with a warning. In this clip from Future Ready with Bechtle, Lee Alesbrook explains why organisations can't afford to wait for a clear deadline before preparing for the impact of quantum computing. The challenge with Q-Day is that there may be no advance notice. One day, today's encryption standards could be protecting your data. The next, sufficiently powerful quantum computers could render many of those protections ineffective. Lee shares why quantum readiness is becoming an important long-term security consideration and why organisations should be assessing their strategy now, rather than waiting for the technology to arrive. ▶️ Full episode: Quantum computing, Q-day and protecting data for the future https://lnkd.in/eT9h3vrw #FutureReady #QuantumComputing #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #Encryption #QuantumSecurity #HybridInfrastructure #ITLeadership #FutureOfIT #BechtleUK

The quantum security challenge has already begun. In this clip from Future Ready with Bechtle, Lee Alesbrook explains the concept of "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks and why organisations should be paying attention today. Sensitive data can be collected and stored now, with the expectation that future quantum computers may eventually be able to break the encryption protecting it. For organisations handling regulated, confidential or long-term information, waiting until "Q-Day" arrives may be too late. Lee explains why quantum readiness should be viewed as a long-term security strategy and why organisations need to start preparing now for the future of encryption. ▶️ Full episode: Quantum computing, Q-day and protecting data for the future https://lnkd.in/eT9h3vrw #FutureReady #QuantumComputing #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #Encryption #QuantumSecurity #HybridInfrastructure #ITLeadership #FutureOfIT #BechtleUK
