ITAM & FinOps: Collision or Collaboration in the Cloud?
FinOps has long focused on managing cloud spend—but that’s beginning to change. In this episode, AJ Witt speaks with Jennifer Kuvlesky at Flexera about the March 2025 FinOps scope expansions and what they mean for SaaS and data center environments. They explore why FinOps is broadening its horizons, how this shift impacts ITAM professionals, and what organisations should expect next.
“With cloud data, you can’t do your job without understanding where and how things are being used—it’s essential for managing spend and securing value.” – Jennifer Kuvlesky at Flexera.
