Blog post: FinOps - What is it?

In our blog, we give you all the basics on the subject of FinOps: What is FinOps? Why is it worthwhile? What are the challenges of using the cloud?

FinOps - Manage cloud costs optimally

FinOps, or Cloud Financial Management, is primarily concerned with how companies get maximum value from cloud costs incurred. However, FinOps goes far beyond the pure cost issue, because it can be seen as an effective operating model for the cloud. 

Centralization

Centralize cloud services costs within a central organization in the enterprise

Rate optimization

Reduce the rates you pay for individual services, e.g. through discounts.

Simplification

Simplify your cloud cost management, through effective and efficient reporting

Consumption optimization

Adjust the consumption to the actual required power, this can happen among other things by right-sizing

Transparency

Understand what costs are involved, what services you get in return, and whether the cost-benefit ratio is right

Future orientation

As more and more workloads are moved to the cloud, FinOps helps you position your business for future developments

We can help you to realize the maximum return on cloud costs sustainably.

Our certified experts have many years of experience in deriving and implementing FinOps services in international corporations and medium-sized companies. We have the necessary certifications and experience to implement FinOps optimally for you.

Together, we analyze the current maturity of your FinOps or cloud implementation. In doing so, we look at various areas to create a holistic picture.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) & Archiving

With Enterprise Content Management (ECM), all data, information and documents are stored, archived and managed in a context-related manner on a single platform. ECM systems offer numerous advantages for managing the increasing number of (un)structured electronic documents and data.

We optimize the costs for these cloud providers:

We are completely independent of the various cloud service providers.

TIMETOACT has been represented on the market for years in the area of software asset management (license management). In addition to the commercial knowledge, we as TIMETOACT GROUP had specialists who are specialized in the individual cloud manufacturers in the technical area. These include Microsoft Azure, the Google Cloud and Amazon Webservices. 

Commercial and technical consulting

The TIMETOACT FinOps team combines competences in both areas, which enables us to be active for our customers both commercially and as technical consultants and to achieve the optimal result. Due to the complexity and the large scope of the topic, this interaction is the prerequisite to be able to offer the topic FinOps holistically.

With us, you get everything from a single source: This set-up distinguishes us from our competitors, who are often either too focused on the technical side (IT infrastructure, IT administration) or the commercial side (IT license management, IT controlling).
