Control Software, Cloud, and AI Costs by Integrating ITAM and FinOps
“Through 2028, organizations that integrate ITAM and FinOps practices to manage software as a service (SaaS) and cloud-based AI will reduce their AI expenses by 30%.”1
Managing SaaS and Cloud spend is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations across the globe. That difficulty is reflected in the following two statistics:
- Since 2021, SaaS spend per employee has increased 55%. That number is only projected to increase.
- Currently, 27% of cloud spending is estimated to be wasted across enterprises’ extensive, complex, and dynamic environments.
To address these challenges, this research from Gartner® suggests that organizations should prioritize the creation of an integrated ITAM and FinOps framework, mandating collaborative processes and shared goals.
