FinOps: Current Ecosystem and State and Future Roadmap and Growth Opportunities


FinOps is an Emerging and Increasingly Important Concept that Facilitates Cloud Usage Optimization through Astute Cloud Financial Management.

Cloud has emerged as the most significant facilitating technological force behind digitalization efforts across industries and geographies. Owing to inherent benefits related to scale and flexibility, public cloud has witnessed rapid adoption and continues to enjoy increased uptake across enterprises and government entities.

Increased adoption of cloud services, in the form of complex hybrid architecture, has resulted in intricacies related to cloud financial management. This is where the FinOps concept and framework comes in to address the requirements of cloud financial management in a structured manner.

The global FinOps ecosystem is expanding fast, with large cloud service providers, technology giants, and innovative start-ups coming up with advanced tools and solutions that cater to cloud financial management needs. Consequently, the market is expected to grow at a high rate over the next 3-5 years, creating multifarious opportunities for all value chain stakeholders.

This Frost & Sullivan study delves deep into the FinOps framework and value chain and its constituents, and the aim is to unearth the key regional, sectoral, and technological nodes of the ecosystem and highlight the key organizations operating in it. The study also provides an overview of the future roadmap and growth opportunities.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
