In today’s rapidly accelerating digital transformation in business and the advent of cloud services models encompassing infrastructure (IaaS), Platform (PaaS), and Software (SaaS), IT operational cost has dramatically increased.   Unlike financial accounting for traditional IT systems, the bulk of which are fixed costs, spending models for these new platforms are variable (on an as-needed basis).  The challenge for IT leaders is to bring financial accountability to these variable spending models and how to better articulate business trade-offs as we move to the cloud

 

During this session, we will provide a quick overview of Technology Business Management (TBM), a value management framework for decision-making by CIOs, CTOs, CFO, and their teams. TBM defines the tools, processes, data, and people needed to manage the business of technology. We will showcase an example of a TBM application for FinOps and how, when used carefully, it can bring better visibility to IT spending.
