IDC MaturityScape: FinOps 1.0

This IDC MaturityScape helps CIOs, senior IT executives, FinOps executives, line-of-business (LOB) executives, and finance executives rethink their approach and maximize the business value of technology across their enterprise and its ecosystems. IDC would like to recognize the efforts and best practices put forward by the FinOps Foundation, especially its "crawl, walk, run" maturity concepts. IDC made every effort to remain compatible with these concepts while expanding these domains and adding new subdomains for enterprises to leverage via this IDC MaturityScape."AI is resetting technology economics, and FinOps is becoming the discipline that translates technology spending into business value," said Serge Findling, adjunct research advisor, IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP). "Nearly 90% of Global 2000 enterprises now have a FinOps practice. However, maturity, not adoption, will define competitive advantage," said Jevin Jensen, research vice president, IDC Infrastructure and Operations. "The next phase of FinOps is about aligning technology investment with measurable business value across the ever-broadening FinOps scope of private cloud, AI, SaaS, platform as a service (PaaS), IT asset management (ITAM), and beyond."
