Adapt The FinOps Maturity Model To Supercharge Your ITAM Strategy & Operations
As IT organisations strive for greater financial accountability, the FinOps Framework offers a clear path from basic cost tracking to strategic value creation. This webinar will guide you through the key principles of FinOps, showing how to move through its three foundational phases — Crawl, Walk, Run — and build a mature, value-focused approach to IT financial management.
We’ll explore how to assess your organisation’s current FinOps maturity, implement practical strategies to optimise and forecast spend, and overcome common roadblocks — particularly where FinOps intersects with ITAM. You’ll learn how real-time cost data and cross-functional collaboration can shift your IT financial practices from reactive cost-cutting to proactive value delivery.
Why Attend:
Tap into expert insights: Gain perspectives from industry leaders at the forefront of FinOps and ITAM, as they share proven approaches, common pitfalls, and what they’ve learned from real implementations.
Explore smarter ways to manage IT spend: Walk away with practical guidance to help you move beyond basic cost tracking—improving forecasting, optimising spend, and aligning financial practices with broader business priorities.
Get tailored advice: Take part in a live Q&A session and get direct answers to your questions, with advice you can apply to your own organisation’s journey.
Keep your strategy future-ready: Learn how FinOps is evolving and how to stay ahead by combining ITAM, real-time data, and cross-team collaboration to deliver greater business value.
