The Hidden AI Tax: IDC Research Reveals Nearly All Organizations Lose Cost Control When Deploying GenAI and Agentic Workflows at Scale

By / Blog / ,

IDC survey reveals 96% of organizations deploying GenAI and 92% with agentic AI face unexpected cost overruns. 71% lack control over these expenses. Early movers embedding governance and cost visibility gain competitive advantage, as pilot phase firms risk heavy costs without ROI. The report highlights unseen costs from inference, token use, and management of multiple tools. Enterprises with over 75% AI deployment use six vendors on average, straining IT resources. Organizations that embrace comprehensive governance and unified platforms achieve greater success with GenAI.

The Rise of Centralized IAM: Managing Identities in a Digital World

By / Blog / , ,

Centralized Identity and Access Management (IAM) is crucial for managing both human and Non-Human Identities (NHIs) in a fast-evolving cybersecurity landscape. Common myths, such as a single IAM platform's inefficacy, NHIs' lack of need for IAM, and the belief that unified IAM sacrifices security for convenience, are debunked. Modern centralized IAM can effectively manage all identities, ensuring secure access and compliance with regulations. Advanced IAM technology integrates management of NHIs, utilizing best practices like secure credential storage and least privilege access to enhance security while simplifying processes for administrators.
