Cloud Consumption On-Demand

What’s the cost of a click?

Optimise costs and elevate the value of On-Demand technology across public cloud, Software as a Service (SaaS), and generative AI.

On-Demand technology spending is multiplying. The shift from Capital Expenditure (CapEx) to Operating Expenses (OpEx) means every organisation must find a way to gain transparency and control. With Cloud Consumption On-Demand by Capgemini, we’re supporting our clients to find value enablement and cost reduction – because every click counts.

Take control of cloud consumption

What is On-Demand technology?

Spanning public cloud, Software as a Service (SaaS), and Gen AI, On-Demand technology enables businesses to scale rapidly while working securely.

We’ve witnessed a move from centralised IT procurement to a democratised state where every member of the workforce is a buyer. Now technology is provided and charged at the point of need, instead of through fixed, committed contracts.
All this is available with the simple click of a button. Each click of these services is a micro-cost – with thousands of clicks every day, costs can aggregate quickly.

More than a quarter of IT budgets are currently allocated for cloud computing on demand. The costs for cloud, SaaS and Gen AI technology are forecasted to double in the next four to five years.

With every click, organisations can experience an increasing lack of transparency and control over their technology services. When surveyed, CIOs said their number one concern is cost control, whereas in the past it used to be security.1 CFO budgets are getting used up on unforeseen On-Demand technology costs which diminish free cash flow and block strategic initiatives that could create value.

● 66% of cloud projects do not deliver the expected results (Source: Red Hat, 2022)2
● 85% of AI and machine learning projects fail to deliver ROI for their organisations (Source: Gartner, 2018)3
● 32% of cloud spend is waste (Source: Flexera, 2022)5
● 49% of SaaS licenses are not used (Source: Zylo, 2024)4

We can solve this challenging puzzle together. Reducing costs by 20-40% and delivering consistent business value.

Successfully managing On-Demand technology solutions is often seen as an activity for C-Suite executives, but the responsibility lies at every level of the business. That’s why we believe that the winning solution must take a holistic approach, arriving at technology cost optimisation that spans the entire organisation.
As experts in On-Demand technology, Capgemini have implemented industry best practices solutions for high profile clients across multiple industries. With Cloud Consumption On-Demand, we harness our broad set of expertise to bring together several technology cost management disciplines and develop specific assets and accelerators to deliver impactful results.
We work with three levers across public cloud, SaaS, and Gen AI:
● Challenge usage versus cost
● Optimise your digital and Gen AI stack
● Operate a future-proofed model
