About this event

As technology and customer expectations continue to evolve, understanding how ITAM and FinOps can best collaborate and support each other can be the key to unlocking business success.

For most organisations across the globe, hybrid infrastructure that is both on-premises and in the cloud is the way forward. Both areas have their own specialisations, quirks, and growth paths – ensuring you are combining all the available resources, knowledge, and skills within your organisation is how you can realise the maximum savings, growth, and advancement.

Join ITAM ReviewSnow Software and the FinOps Foundation in this free Tech Talk series of 3 x 20 sessions as we bring you insights from FinOps practitioners, data on focus areas, and a breakdown of key topics such as Unit Economics, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement.

 

Tech Talk Part 1: When ITAM met FinOps
Our speakers discuss how ITAM and FinOps can support each other to grow and succeed as inter-dependent business units. They cover topics including governance, cloud marketplaces, BYOL, defining ROI on cloud migration projects, managing vendor relationships as a team, and shared goals. This Tech Talk is now live – Listen Now! 

Tech Talk Part 2: ITAM + FinOps: Greater than the sum of their parts
ITAM & FinOps share many goals and, in this session, our speakers look at how joint efforts can lead to greater success across areas such as forecasting, container management, and breaking down silos. They also consider how FinOps brings new opportunities through speed, scale, and specialization. This Tech Talk is now live – Listen Now! 

Tech Talk Part 3: Look who’s talking Unit Economics
In this session our speakers discuss Unit Economics: what is it and why does it matter to ITAM, to FinOps, and to the wider business? While it may be new or unfamiliar terminology, they consider whether ITAM is already doing it without knowing it and how to elevate the practice alongside FinOps? This Tech Talk is now live – Listen Now!
