?? Announcing 2025 FinOps Framework??? The FinOps Framework has been updated to reflect the present-day practice of #FinOps - https://lnkd.in/gXSvpAvf. The 2025 revisions are driven by the addition of FinOps Scopes as a core element of the Framework, with small updates to the definition of FinOps and the language used to describe the Principles, Domains, and Capabilities so they align with the addition of Scopes. To celebrate this milestone and the new Cloud+ era, we are offering 25% off on all self-paced + exam certification courses with code framework2025 (valid until March 28, 2025) -?https://learn.finops.org/

This past week in Brussels, the FinOps Foundation supported — as the only non-governmental organisation invited to attend — the “FOCUS on FinOps” event organised at the European Parliament, as the EP looks to further adopt FOCUS. Over 300 practitioners from European Union Institutions, Agencies and Bodies gathered for a full day of #FinOps sessions covering the main topics: leveraging the FinOps Framework as a set of best practices and discussing FOCUS as an open specification for billing data. Our own?Ruben Vander Stockt and Dean Oliver were there to help educate on FinOps and FOCUS. A great mix of inspiring insights from senior leadership, interesting talks by practitioners sharing their experiences in FinOps and in-depth conversations and discussions! Thanks to?Julian Radu, Drs. and Neven Drljevi? for inviting the FinOps Foundation to this inter-institutional event!

?????? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ???? ???????? -?https://data.finops.org/ FinOps is as important as ever for delivering value from cloud—and increasingly—from other technology investments, with the majority of practices beginning to manage SaaS spend, and nearly half managing licensing. Some FinOps practices have begun to apply their capabilities to private cloud and data center scopes of spending in a?“??????????+”?approach to FinOps. While optimization continues to remain a top priority for cloud spend,?Understanding Costs?and?Quantifying Value?(budgeting, forecasting, allocation, etc.) are being applied first to other?Scopes of technology?before?optimization?as companies look to get improved predictability and understanding of technology spend in addition to Cloud. AI spending is now managed by the majority of respondents (63% up from 31% last year) and is expected to impact all but a few FinOps practitioners in the coming year in line with the large amounts of additional investment coming across cloud, SaaS and in data-centers. Practitioners are now also being asked to do more with their current resources, and increasingly those running related technology management practices are merging their work with FinOps.There is a risk of being stretched thin without additional investment in areas such as upskilling, automation or staff augmentation as organizations look to increase productivity within FinOps Capabilities. ?????? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ???? ???????? -?https://data.finops.org/ #FinOps #AI #Cloud #SaaS #Licensing
