FinOps 101: Learn the Basics of Cloud Financial Operations in Our Upcoming Webinar

Think cloud financial management is just about lowering costs? Think again.

As cloud costs become an increasingly material expense, FinOps is gaining momentum as a critical initiative. FinOps, short for Cloud Financial Operations, is a practice that combines data, organization, and culture to help companies manage their cloud spend.

What does a FinOps practice include?

More than simply managing and monitoring costs, FinOps takes a holistic view of the cloud’s business value tied in with an organization’s objectives. An effective FinOps practice aligns advanced cost management metrics with business metrics such as revenue and profit; development schedules, requirements, and costs; business units and operations; growth projections; and other long-term analysis. 

Anyone can practice FinOps. A typical FinOps practice gathers stakeholders from the C-suite as well as leaders across technology, finance, and business to examine the data and make informed decisions that tie cloud usage to the objectives of the business.

There is no special training required to begin your FinOps journey. But the more tools and resources you have, the more chance you have of bringing FinOps success to your organization.

But first, you have to start with the basics…
