Enterprises today struggle to define, measure, realize, and refine value from their cloud investments, leading to increased dissatisfaction among cloud-consuming businesses. The gap between cloud promises and the reality highlights fragmented cloud cost management and misaligned strategies. As a result, FinOps has become a key enterprise imperative to navigate the cloud-centric IT landscape. Using FinOps ensures enterprises optimize their cloud budgets through data-driven decisions and maximize cloud RoI.
Enterprises seek FinOps products that enable business-driven cost decisions, offer strong financial visibility, role-based access, guaranteed savings, foster cross-team collaborations, and cost intelligence. In response, FinOps cloud cost management providers are improving their product functionalities and investing in next-generation technologies to enhance their capabilities across cloud cost reporting, optimization, automation, governance, and security.
