FinOps Scopes are segments of technology-related spending to which FinOps Practitioners apply FinOps concepts. Scopes frame conversations and expectations about which Personas, Domains, and Capabilities are in-scope for the FinOps practice.
As FinOps Practitioners continue to build practices that deliver value from their organization’s investments in cloud, business Leadership now wants FinOps to apply this approach to other technology spending. They want to apply the same collaborative, data-driven practices to intersecting areas of technology spending, such as AI, SaaS and Data Center.
FinOps teams are well-equipped to manage Scopes of cost and usage data that mirror public cloud data, and can also bring their expertise in managing granular, real-time cloud data to less variable datasets.
