According to a 2023 IDC European CloudOps survey (https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.idc.com%2Fgetdoc.jsp%3FcontainerId%3DEUR150410823&esheet=53750390&newsitemid=20231107801232&lan=en-US&anchor=2023+IDC+European+CloudOps+survey&index=1&md5=7fd400fa81821708279889fbf9aa68a7), approximately 60 percent of organizations surveyed are spending two-to-three times more in the cloud than they had originally budgeted.
