FinOps Assessment

Organisations aiming to optimise their cloud costs and improve financial accountability need a structured, insightful approach. The one-day FinOps Assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of your organisation’s maturity across all key FinOps capabilities based on the FinOps Foundation framework.

This assessment brings key stakeholders together to explore, evaluate, and prioritise improvements using the practical 'Crawl-Walk-Run' model.
