In today's rapidly growing landscape of software and cloud expenditures, effective consumption management and optimization are paramount. Despite their interdependencies, SAM and FinOps often operate independently, in different silos and with limited resources, eroding their value-maximization potential.

FinOps and SAM are kindred spirits; although founded from different eras of technology adoption, their disciplines share objectives. Their frameworks exploit many of the same cost-efficiency principles and capabilities, incorporating a combination of consumption, rightsizing, optimization and mitigation management fundamentals. Discover why executive leaders must establish an integrated SAM and FinOps unit with the mandate to maximize value while eliminating wasteful consumption and unproductive costs.

By reading this Gartner® report, we believe you will:

  • Understand how SAM and FinOps are two disciplines with overlapping goals.
  • Recognize the detrimental impact of a siloed approach on cost increase and waste.
  • Learn how a unification maximizes visibility, security and value while minimizing wasteful consumption and less productive costs.

This Gartner report, “Target Software and Cloud Costs by Uniting Software Asset Management and FinOps” provides actionable recommendations on successfully consolidating SAM and FinOps. We believe it is a valuable resource for C-Level Executives, SAM & FinOps teams, and IT managers.
