We all know that sigh. You know exactly which one. The report that keeps loading. The error you click away. The Excel sheet that's "just temporary" and has been patching a gap since 2019.
At Cloudar, we call it the sigh surcharge. The cost that never shows up on an invoice, but gets paid on the work floor every single day. Jarne Luckx and Arjan Timmers dug into what's really hiding behind that little sigh. And why the cheapest IT choice often turns out to be the most expensive one.
Spoiler: the real ROI isn't speed or savings. It's silence.
