Organizations can optimize their on-demand tech investments by adopting a cloud-smart strategy aligned with business outcomes, engineering cost-aware architectures, expanding FinOps to cover all relevant technologies, and automating cost optimization through AI-driven tools. This holistic approach can help improve ROI while maintaining innovation.
What role does FinOps play in managing on-demand technology costs?
FinOps is crucial for managing costs related to on-demand technologies. While 76% of organizations are building FinOps teams, only 2% currently cover cloud, SaaS, and Gen AI comprehensively.
