Intro: how FullStackS Sustainably Operationalizes the Topic of “FinOpS” in Companies.

Many companies recognize the importance of FinOps, but the real challenge lies in its implementation. Theory and practice often diverge: processes are not established, responsibilities are unclear, and cloud costs are difficult to track. FullStackS closes this gap with a proven approach to the sustainable operationalization of FinOps. Our structured FinOps Maturity Assessment provides a clear roadmap and helps companies establish FinOps as an integral part of their cloud and cost management.

What Challenges Do We most Often Encounter in FinOps Implementation?

Before FinOps can be used effectively in operations, some hurdles must be overcome – we often encounter the following hurdles / challenges:

  • Lack of responsibilities: Who bears the cost responsibility for cloud/infrastructure resources?

  • Non-transparent expenses: Without clear allocation of costs, potential savings remain unused.

  • Lack of automation: Manual evaluations make quick decisions more difficult (Goal: Data-driven real-time decisions)

  • Resistance in the teams: FinOps is perceived as control or additional “do-ing” instead of an enabler.

The FullStackS FinOps Maturity Assessment as the Key to Operationalization

With its FinOps Maturity Assessment, FullStackS offers a well-founded and standards-based method for evaluating the maturity of FinOps processes in companies and deriving targeted measures for optimization.

Deliverables of the Assessment:

  • Result Summary: Transparent presentation of the current FinOps maturity level.

  • Insights & Impediments: Identification of challenges and obstacles.

  • SWOT analysis: Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks in the context of FinOps implementation.

  • Capabilities Assessment: Assessment of existing capabilities and necessary improvements.

  • Roadmap & Target Image Operationalization: Individual, concrete plan for the implementation of optimizations.

  • Assessment process & project governance: Clear responsibilities and scheduling.

  • Communication plan: Ensuring internal acceptance and cooperation.

FullStackS as an Enabler: our Operational Approach

1. Establish FinOps as a lived practice

FinOps is not a one-time initiative, but a continuous process. FullStackS supports companies in forming an interdisciplinary team and strengthening cooperation between management, IT, finance and business.

2. Work data-driven: Transparency through metrics and analyses

  • Identification of all relevant data sources for cost, usage and efficiency data.

  • Automated analysis and reporting structures for cost control.

  • Use of FinOps KPIs to evaluate and optimize cloud usage.

3. Tooling & Automation

The key to successful FinOps lies in automation:

  • Selection and implementation of the right FinOps tools.

  • Introduction of tagging strategies for granular cost control.

  • Use of analytics for proactive optimization e.g. with our Splunk App based on FOCUS

4. Enablement & Training: Anchoring FinOps in the company

  • Development of a structured training program for all relevant personas.

  • Interactive workshops to impart best practices and promote cultural change.

  • Anchor FinOps as part of the corporate strategy to achieve long-term effects.

Conclusion: from a One-Time Project to a Continuous FinOps Process

FinOps is more than just cost control – it is a strategic lever for efficiency, transparency, sustainability and innovation in the private, public or hybrid cloud. With its FinOps Maturity Assessment, FullStackS provides the perfect basis for sustainable operationalization and helps companies to systematically and measurably increase their FinOps maturity.
