For years, platforms like SolarWinds have been a standard in IT environments. They helped teams answer a fundamental question: are systems up or down? That approach worked well when environments were more contained and predictable. The challenge is that most environments no longer operate that way. Hybrid infrastructure, cloud services, and tightly interconnected applications have changed what “visibility” needs to mean.

The expectations placed on infrastructure leaders have shifted in a way that is subtle on the surface but significant in practice, and much of that shift comes down to infrastructure cost visibility. Reliability and performance still matter, but they are no longer the differentiators they once were. Most enterprise environments are stable by design, and uptime is assumed. What has changed is the level of scrutiny around cost and decision-making.

A practical discussion with infrastructure leaders on how visibility is shaping cost control, renewal planning, and financial accountability across hybrid environments. Runtime: 41:32 The conversation around infrastructure has shifted. IT teams are no longer measured only on uptime or performance.

IT organizations are being asked to reduce costs, manage risk, and maintain performance at the same time. Meanwhile, infrastructure complexity continues to grow, and vendor pricing changes are reshaping budget assumptions. Too often, an IT cost optimization strategy is shaped by incomplete data around sizing, licensing, refresh timing, and platform decisions. That uncertainty leads to overprovisioning, budget surprises, and reactive operations. Observability changes that equation.

ATS Group and Galileo are pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Wojnarek as Chief Technology Officer. Andy’s appointment reflects the evolution of a technical leadership role he has developed over more than 16 years with the company, grounded in hands-on expertise, cross-functional influence, and a sustained focus on solving complex infrastructure and observability challenges for clients.

Observability pricing often seems reasonable at the outset, but many organizations discover their real complexity only as environments scale and usage patterns change. As environments grow more complex and hybrid by default, many organizations struggle with rising costs, fragmented tools, and pricing models that complicate cost predictability and long-term planning.

As IT organizations enter 2026, many of the assumptions around monitoring and observability have already been tested. Throughout 2025, infrastructure teams made it clear that visibility alone is not enough. Alerts without context, short data retention, and fragmented tools limited teams’ ability to explain behavior, validate changes, and plan with confidence. This article looks at what emerged from those experiences and how observability expectations continue to shift.

FinOps insights for IT leaders often focus on cloud spend, but IT leaders know that real cost drivers extend across hybrid environments. Achieving clarity requires more than budget reports. It requires understanding how workloads behave over time, how performance and capacity shift, and where visibility gaps hide operational and financial risk. To support those efforts, we sat down with Tim Conley, creator of Galileo, to explore practical FinOps insights for IT leaders.

FinOps continues to grow in importance as organizations balance cloud services with on-prem systems, legacy applications, and evolving business demands. Many teams want to manage their costs more effectively but are unsure how to apply a FinOps strategy for hybrid IT outside the cloud.

This year at IBM TechXchange 2025, we had the privilege of not only attending but also sponsoring the event and hosting a booth in the expansive expo hall. From the moment we arrived, it was clear: IBM’s ecosystem is thriving once again. Between the buzz of innovation, the depth of technical sessions, and the sheer energy of the crowd, TechXchange 2025 stood out as one of the most impactful IBM events in recent memory.
