A cloud migration can look affordable on paper and become expensive later through oversized resources, forgotten storage, licensing overlap and services nobody owns. It seems like cost governance needs to begin before the first workload moves, not after the first alarming invoice.
When comparing cloud support from 24×7 IT Solutions or another managed provider, which reporting and cost controls should a small business insist on receiving every month?
