The State of FinOps 2021: How to Build Out a FinOps Practice

Here Technologies, the world’s leading location data and technology company, has a multi-cloud strategy and scale that is central to delivering on its major business objectives. Even though cloud billing at this scale and with this number of stakeholders is extremely complex, doing the work to surface the exact cloud costs consumed per business deliverable or metric leads to informed teams and actionable insights. Watch this joint webinar between the FinOps Foundation, Here Technologies and Apptio to explore how establishing and communicating unit cost metrics with FinOps can drive trusted cloud investment decisions.

How Unit Economics is Central To The FinOps Practice at HERE Technologies

CIOs and other tech executives are asking big questions: Is our technology investment delivering business value? Where should we invest in areas that can drive the highest ROI and where can we stop waste?

Technology Business Management (TBM) is the best way for technology leaders to get answers to those questions. It is a framework that defines the tools, processes, data, and people needed to manage the business of technology and translates those into value that the overall business understands. Through the Apptio TBM Unified Model (ATUM), a proprietary model of implementing TBM that combines cost data from corporate finance with data about IT and business products and services, technology leaders are enabled to make better, faster decisions about their IT investments. Many leaders are using ATUM to transform their IT models and evaluate how technology is prioritized, funded, planned for, and measured.

Watch this webinar to discover the TBM Taxonomy and learn how ATUM helps organizations address the fundamental shifts taking place in IT, including the adoption of agile, product-oriented development methods and the migration to public or hybrid cloud.

This episode of Cloudbusters features John Enoch, Customer Success, Google Cloud, discussing Cloud Cost Management & FinOps with Mallory Beaudreau and Alex Hullah.

Cloudbusters: Google Cloud Cost Management (Ft. John Enoch, Google Cloud)

In this episode Anders Hagman, Senior Manager of Cloud FinOps and Technology Procurement - Spotify, discusses the benefits and challenges of the Agile model in relation to Cloud Management.

Cloudbusters: Agile – can the Spotify model work for everyone?

Cloud adoption is no longer a matter of “why” but of “when”, with Forrester predicting that organizations are expected to be running up to 75% of their workloads in the cloud by 2022, in search for scale, elasticity and business agility.

However, this rush to the cloud can often be delayed by cost overruns, I&O leaders missing a unified view of their on-premises costs and CIOs and CFOs lacking visibility into progress of their cloud migration strategy.

During this exclusive discussion guest speakers from Forrester and Thebes Cloud Management will share actionable insights on cloud migration and financial management, such as:
- How to predict risk, avoid unexpected expenses and accelerate time to business value by building certainty in your migration plan
- How to track progress and costs against plan, and create accountability to stay on time and within budget
- Financial management practices, tooling and skills needed to effectively measure and right size multicloud and SaaS spend and usage across your entire organization.

Realising Value on your Journey to Cloud Ft. Forrester & Thebes Cloud Management

L’adoption du cloud ne se pose plus en termes de pourquoi mais plutôt de quand et de comment.

D’ici 2022, Forrester prédit qu’environ 75% de la charge de travail des entreprises s’exécutera dans le cloud, dans une optique de recherche d’évolutivité, d’élasticité et d’agilité commerciale.

Cette ruée vers le cloud pourrait être freinée par des dépassements de budgets. Les responsables Infra & Opérations manquent d’une vue unifiée de leurs coûts on-prem et les DSI et directeurs financiers manquent de visibilité quant aux progrès de leur stratégie de migration vers le cloud.

Au cours de cette discussion, nos panélistes – tous issus du monde du Cloud – partageront leurs points de vue d’une migration vers le cloud réussie, et notamment de sa bonne gestion financière:

- Prédire les risques, éviter les dépenses imprévues, accélérer la création de valeur économique.
- Suivre les progrès et les coûts par rapport au plan, créer une culture de responsabilité des délais et des budgets.
- Bonnes pratiques de gestion financière: outils et compétences nécessaires pour mesurer et redimensionner efficacement les dépenses, utilisation du multicloud et du SaaS dans l’ensemble de votre organisation.

Comment valoriser votre parcours vers le Cloud

Many technology leaders want to transform their current project model into a product-centric model, and build product-aligned teams that are faster, more iterative and better at managing uncertainty.

However, this presents funding challenges, and these conversations sit squarely with you as an IT Leader to ensure that new IT models are fully steered for maximum business impact.

This event explores how IT and Finance leaders can move technology funding from rigid project-based models to product-level funding that promotes innovation, Agile Continuous Delivery and close stakeholder engagement.

Value-centric Budgeting and Lean Portfolio Management

According to a recent survey by HBR-AS, in efforts to thrive on the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic, many companies have accelerated their digital transformation and invested in innovation. However, some of them lack sufficient trust in the data about their technology spending and the business value digital initiatives generate.

During this webinar, HBR-AS will lead a discussion about the importance of visibility into technology spending and business value with three experts on digital transformation: RJ Hazra, Senior VP and CFO of Equifax Global Security and Technology; Mark Schwartz, enterprise strategist at AWS; and Sunny Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Apptio. They will share their perspectives on the survey results and will discuss:

- How the pandemic has affected technology budgets
- Why companies often lack visibility into how technology spending drives business value
- What organizations can do to improve data for business decisions
- How companies can improve their trust in data about technology spending, decision- making, and business value

How Transparency in Technology Spending Can Drive Business Value

Organizations that are going digital are making the shift to agile. In order to effectively scale agile across the enterprise, being able to track, measure, and communicate the value of these portfolio investments becomes even more critical. During this panel, we’ll discuss the business decisions leaders made during their agile adoption journeys and how they think about business agility.

- How value stream management helps to align strategy with execution and managing investments
- Why tracking value across portfolio, program, and team level is critical for success
- How SAFe enables organizations to increase business and technical agility and deliver value faster
