Who it is for.
For an organization that buys public cloud, SaaS, software licenses, hardware and AI services and sees each through a different system. The design joins those feeds into one cost-and-usage model, allocates spend to owners, holds the license position, plans refresh from end-of-support dates and reports to finance. Sized for 4,000 employees, 5,500 endpoints, 700 servers, about 220 SaaS applications.
What is in, what is out.
In: the FinOps Framework's own technology categories: public cloud, SaaS, data platforms, private cloud, licenses, data center and AI. Out: selecting the winning product, done in the comparison, and executing disposal.
