The integration of IT Asset Management (ITAM) and FinOps Consulting represents a comprehensive strategy aimed at maximizing the efficiency and security of IT operations while optimizing the associated costs. The two disciplines complement each other and offer organizations the opportunity to take a holistic approach to managing their IT resources and finances. The topic of sustainability in IT is also becoming increasingly relevant alongside the rise in cloud costs. Our experts are also happy to support you in the implementation of Green IT.
ITAM & Compliance
IT asset management is crucial for an efficient IT strategy. By comprehensively managing the entire lifecycle of hardware, software and licenses, ITAM not only helps to minimize costs and risks, but also to optimize the performance of IT resources. A key benefit of ITAM is its support in meeting compliance requirements imposed by various regulatory authorities and software manufacturers. This avoids fines, legal disputes and potential reputational damage.
In addition to proprietary software products, we can also provide comprehensive support for open source license models.
FinOps Consulting & IT Cost Optimization
In parallel is FinOps, an approach that brings together finance and IT teams to efficiently manage and optimize cloud spend. FinOps aims to improve the transparency and management of IT costs arising from the use of cloud technologies. This is achieved by implementing best practices and KPIs that enable precise tracking and optimization of cloud spend.
Synergies between ITAM and FinOps
The synergy between ITAM and FinOps stems from the common goal of increasing visibility and control over IT spend while ensuring compliance and performance. ITAM provides the basis for a detailed inventory and assessment of IT assets, which is a critical prerequisite for effective FinOps. By ensuring that each asset is properly licensed, used and maintained, ITAM lays the foundation for FinOps to identify potential savings and optimize the total cost of IT usage, as well as save CO2.
