FinOps – Keeping Cloud Costs Under Control
In the past, procuring new tools, software and hardware was primarily the role of the procurement and finance departments. Now that employees have the option of booking cloud resources themselves quickly and easily in the cloud, however, specialist departments and especially the IT management are increasingly confronted with the need to be involved.
But this approach comes with risks: A lack of transparency on costs can cause uncontrolled or unauthorized spending (e.g., through the deployment of shadow IT). Furthermore, such practices can result in compliance violations. Using FinOps minimizes these risks by allowing dynamic cloud costs and use to be considered in detail. An end-to-end organizational method, FinOps helps to depict all cloud costs in a visible, calculable and scalable manner.
FinOps – your road to cloud cost optimization
As an end-to-end framework, FinOps includes a wide range of ways to begin optimizing costs for cloud resources and services. We start by analyzing your unique status quo together and support you every step of the way.
FinOps workshops
Our introductory workshops support you in your first steps towards FinOps implementation. In particular, we help you to understand the basics of cloud services, familiarize yourself with the best practices, define KPIs and tackle the challenges in handling cloud environments.
Maturity analysis
Our maturity analysis provides a comprehensive assessment of the current state of your current cloud computing strategy. To do this, we analyze your company’s requirements and goals and how you currently use the cloud. The result is an assessment of your maturity and recommendations for architecture design, resource and cost optimization, processes and technologies.
FinOps implementation
Taking your business goals and requirements into account, we focus on processes and technologies. The goal is to optimize cloud infrastructures, resources and costs, thus creating the basis for continuous monitoring.
