Framework / FinOps Scopes / Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
In the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Scope, the challenges of managing public cloud spending are mirrored in the proliferation of SaaS resources across organizations via decentralized, individual-level procurement and corporate-credit-card-funded purchase orders, resulting in limited organizational visibility into cost and usage. Pricing models vary from license-based SaaS, to variable-spend models such as per user/device, tiered, consumption-based, flat rate, and feature add-ons. By iteratively applying Framework Capabilities, financial transparency and accountability can be established for SaaS spending alongside public cloud spending.
A FinOps Scope is a segment of technology-related spending to which FinOps Practitioners apply FinOps concepts. Business and technology strategy drives the context that determines which Personas, Domains, Capabilities, KPIs, datasources, and metric thresholds included in the FinOps practice profile.
