Abstract


This IDC Perspective covers the impact of the continued growth of SaaS and IaaS on IT operations and finance and the move toward digital business. IT automation is essential as enterprises report they are concerned about the high cost of cloud (IaaS) and are often unaware that SaaS spending is often higher. Tools to manage and optimize both are critical to the success of FinOps teams. However, FinOps is more than just a new tool. It encompasses a culture change of accountability, collaborations between business units and departments, and maturity toward cloud unit economics. The mindset and reinvestment in operations staff through training will move an organization forward. Only then can the promise of a successful digital business be realized.

"The growth of SaaS and IaaS shows no signs of slowing down, even in a year of tightening IT budgets," says Jevin Jensen, research vice president of Intelligent CloudOps Markets at IDC. "Enterprises need to refocus on IT cloud automation, invest in their staff training, and evaluate SaaS management platforms to deliver results for a digital business."
