FinOps and Apptio Cloudability: A Strong Partnership in Cloud Financial Management

Companies are increasingly looking to implement a new Cloud Financial Management strategy. Why? The cloud enables entirely new, decentralized forms of procurement—up to the almost proverbial individual employee who buys with the company credit card. In this scenario, traditional controlling mechanisms are no longer adequate. Consequently, cloud costs often spiral out of control.

FinOps is a Cloud Financial Management strategy that addresses new requirements and, most importantly, paves the way for innovation. At its core, FinOps integrates business and technological approaches. Thus, choosing the right tool is crucial for effectively implementing a FinOps strategy. Ideally, you should select a tool designed specifically for FinOps implementation from the outset, such as Cloudability from Apptio, an IBM subsidiary.

For years, Apptio and SoftwareOne have maintained leading positions at the FinOps Foundation. This neutral organization developed and continually enhances the FinOps methodology by collaborating with numerous experts.

What you can expect in the webinar

Strategy and tools are the topics of the webinar that is to be hosted by experts both from IBM-Apptio and SoftwareOne. 

In the first part of the webinar, an expert from SoftwareOne will explain the idea behind FinOps and how this methodology can be implemented, including: What prerequisites must be met? Which best practices have proven most successful in the past?

Afterward, a partner from Apptio will demonstrate Cloudability through a live demo, demonstrating its use at SoftwareOne as an example.
