Cloud Cost Optimization 2.0

From FinOps to financial engineering, why managing cloud costs now requires architectural strategy

John Doyle
Senior VP of Cloud Ops & Security, Accelya Group

Our AWS rep actually recommended RapidScale. RapidScale provides that bench of expertise to augment and really hyperfocus on specific projects that we need to move the business forward.

If cloud spend is becoming harder
to predict, justify, or scale,
this session is for you.

You’ll gain clarity on:

How the cloud landscape
is changing due to
multi-cloud and
AI-driven workloads

Why FinOps struggles to control cloud spend and where disconnects happen

How to build more mature cloud financial strategies that tie infrastructure decisions directly to business outcomes

Meet the speakers:

Ryan Paul
Practice Lead, Cloud Economics | RapidScale
Ryan works at the intersection of cloud architecture, economics, and business strategy. He helps enterprise organizations design cloud environments that scale efficiently—financially and operationally—across complex, multi-cloud ecosystems.

Why this matters now:

• Managing cloud spend is the #1 challenge in modern cloud environments
• 84% of organizations struggle to control cloud costs
• Nearly 30% of cloud spend is wasted due to architectural inefficiencies

Cloud cost has become a financial risk:

Our partnership with
RapidScale continued to grow this last year. We had a lot of proof of concept when it came to Al, cloud solutions, [and] rebuilding platforms.

Arnold Fletcher
Senior VP of Cloud Ops & Security, Director of IT, 1st Lake Properties

Because of the relationship we have with RapidScale, I rest better now. Whether it's an attack from outside or a fire or a flood, because I know our data can easily be restored. Knowing that I have a team behind me if something happens.

WEBINAR

Cloud environments have grown more complex, fundamentally changing how costs behave—and how quickly they can spiral.

Traditional FinOps approaches deliver visibility, but visibility alone no longer delivers control.

Organizations that fail to evolve their approach remain stuck in reactive mode.

Those that do gain predictability, control, and confidence at scale.

In this session, RapidScale leaders break down what’s changed and what to do next.

Thursday, May 21st | 2 pm ET

Who should attend:

This webinar is designed for leaders responsible for cloud strategy and financial accountability, including:

• CIOs and CTOs
• Cloud and infrastructure leaders
• Finance and technology executives managing cloud spend at scale
• Organizations navigating multi-cloud or AI-driven environments

If your cloud costs are rising faster than your confidence, this session will resonate.

Zach Bosin
Head of Solutions Marketing | RapidScale
Zach brings a strategic, client-first perspective to cloud solutions, translating technical complexity into business value. He partners closely with cloud leaders to align infrastructure decisions with growth, resilience, and measurable outcomes.

Together, Ryan and Zach bring real-world insight from helping organizations optimize cloud environments where cost, complexity, and scale collide.

Join RapidScale for a clear-eyed, practical discussion on what cloud cost optimization 2.0 really requires—and how to build cloud financial strategies that keep pace with modern complexity.
