The piece outlines how agencies can build cost, usage, ownership, and value evidence ahead of FY27 renewal decisions, and promotes Datadog Cloud Cost Management as a tool to unify AI and cloud spend data, attribute costs to teams, detect anomalies, forecast spending under new pricing, and evaluate operational value versus switching costs.
