FinOps for Software as a Service (SaaS)
Use this Paper to better understand the intersection of FinOps and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and how to apply FinOps principles and best practices to track, report, and optimize SaaS cost and usage.
FinOps Practitioners have successfully built practices that that deliver value from their organization’s investments in cloud. Business Leadership is now asking FinOps teams to apply their collaborative, data-driven practices to intersecting areas of technology spending, such as AI, SaaS and Data Center.
FinOps teams are well-equipped to manage Scopes of cost and usage data that mirror public cloud data, and can also bring their expertise in managing granular, real-time cloud data to less variable datasets.
The FinOps Foundation’s Technical Advisory Council has approved the addition of FinOps Scopes to the Framework to capture the different types of technology cost and usage data FinOps Practitioners are managing.
