FinOps
Driving smarter cloud investments with data-driven insights.
What is FinOps?
FinOps, short for Financial Operations, is a strategic framework that integrates finance, technology, and business teams to manage and optimise cloud spending.
It focuses on real-time cost visibility, promoting collaboration across departments to ensure data-driven decision-making that maximises business value.
Key FinOps Concepts

Detects inefficiencies and anomalies in spending, enabling corrective actions before costs escalate.
2. Collaboration Between Finance, Engineering, and Operations
Encourages cross-functional collaboration to align cloud spending with business objectives.
Bridges the gap between financial goals and technical execution, ensuring efficient and effective resource management.
