What is FinOps?

“FinOps is an evolving cloud financial management discipline and cultural practice that enables organizations to get maximum business value by helping engineering, finance, technology and business teams to collaborate on data-driven spending decisions.” -  definition by the FinOps Foundation Technical Advisory Council

What is changing in finance with the advent of cloud?

In today's cloud-based reality, there are many more technical, service and product teams, and in addition, they have the ability to create infrastructure and establish services automatically or from the console level. This means almost instant access to money. This can cause many difficulties for the finance team who no longer can plan, control and keep a track of the budget accordingly.

Deloitte’s approach

Deloitte’s approach for cloud cost optimization solutions includes a deep analysis and a detailed cost saving opportunity report followed by a knowledge transfer workshop. The focus areas are cost awareness, governance, cloud estate restructuring, waste management, consumption management and purchase tactics.
