In today’s digital first world, enterprises are under relentless pressure to do more with less. Whether it’s controlling cloud costs, justifying technology investments, or proving ROI to the business; the old silos between IT finance and engineering no longer work. The convergence of IT Financial Management (ITFM) and FinOps has become essential for organizations that want to drive transparency, efficiency, and value across their technology estate.
The Cost Visibility Gap
ITFM has long served as the financial lens through which organizations plan, budget, and track technology spend. It also provides structured frameworks for allocating costs to business units, modeling service TCO, and aligning IT with financial governance.
Meanwhile, FinOps emerged in response to a new challenge: the real-time, elastic, and decentralized nature of cloud spend. With engineering teams now driving purchasing decisions through cloud providers, traditional finance tools alone can’t keep up.
This disconnect leads to a visibility gap. ITFM sees the “what” and “how much,” while FinOps sees the “when” and “why.” But neither can provide full context without the other.
