Today, the cloud is the basis of modern IT strategies - scalable, dynamic and driven by innovation. But as flexibility increases, so do the challenges: Complexity is increasing, new services are emerging daily and traditional procurement processes are no longer effective.
Analysts expect global public cloud end-user spending will reach $723.4 in 2025. However, many companies lack the necessary transparency to manage this expenditure effectively.
IT budgets under pressure - 30% of cloud spending is wasted
Current studies show: Around a third of cloud costs are used inefficiently. Common causes are a lack of cost control, a lack of accountability and a lack of transparency in usage.
Public cloud providers offer numerous optimization options - but without clear processes and a holistic understanding of the consumption model, savings often remain theoretical.
FinOps: The operational lever for your cloud governance
FinOps (Financial Operations) creates the bridge between IT, finance and business. It is not just about reducing costs, but about a structured framework for managing cloud expenditure - in real time, collaboratively and based on data.
For IT decision-makers, this means regaining control over cloud budgets, increasing forecasting reliability and strengthening their position in the strategic dialog with management.
