- October 7, 2021
The pandemic forced companies to quickly shift to support a remote workforce and digitally engaged customers. That shift resulted in an increasingly multi-cloud world that has led organizations to establish common ways of understanding cloud cost data to bring financial accountability across clouds.
If your company is dealing with similar challenges, you won't want to miss this year's Technology Business Management (TBM) Conference 2021, hosted virtually October 11-13. We put together a list of cloud-specific sessions to look forward to at this year's event.
