In the era of artificial intelligence innovation, it is extremely difficult to keep track of tech budgets. Many of the organizations overspend just to make sure everything goes well as expected.

To maximize your organization's cloud business value, it is imperative to implement FinOps best practices successfully that support cloud cost management and optimization.

What is FinOps?

According to the FinOps Foundation, “FinOps is an operational framework and cultural practice that maximizes the business value of the cloud, enables timely data-driven decision-making, and creates financial accountability through collaboration between engineering, finance, and business teams.”

As the name suggests, FinOps (Financial Operations), empowers teams to work faster, and promotes a cross-functional conversation about where and when to invest.
