FinOps
Our Cloud Financial management services will help you understand your needs, optimize your costs, and provide continues operational support to help optimize your costs while allowing your business to thrive.

1. ASSESS
  • Identification– Identify actual usage, needs and analyze current invoicing
  • Mapping – Map costs to workloads and organizational structures
  • Accountability–Cost awareness & accountability

The first step is to gain continues visibility into your cloud environment based on individual, team, division or organizational usage. The objective is to allow visibility into current spend and allocation by providing stakeholders real-time or on-demand information providing them with team accountability and accurate costs allowing them to make agile and intelligent decisions concerning their actual needs as well as budgeting and forecasting.

2. OPTIMIZE
  • Over usage – Eliminate overprovisioning
  • Awareness – Create a culture of cost awareness & optimal resource provisioning
  • Balance – Balance fluctuating computing resource demands and costs

The beginning of optimization comes with using resources optimally. Once you are actively monitoring your cloud infrastructure identifying unused infrastructure or resources becomes apparent. Eliminate an oversized infrastructure with unused resources. Optimizing spend is important but needs to be balanced with actual service loads and possible resource intensive peaks throughout the year.
3. MANAGE
  • Forecasting – Efficient cost predictability and spend prioritization
  • Governance – Improve cloud efficiency through process implementation
  • Strategy – Establish long term cloud strategy based on actual data and business needs

Effectively managing your cloud infrastructure is a combination of people, processes and technology. Organizations need to set governance in place to allow business needs and IT infrastructure to function at the expected rate and allow business owners to plan, budget and monitor their spend and ROI but also allow to efficiently procure new systems when needed.



WHY FINOPS?

With the correct insight into your OSS component usage the following risks can be avoided:
