In our commitment to help customers maximize their business value with Google Cloud, we are excited to announce that Google Cloud has been officially certified as a FinOps Certified Service Provider by the FinOps Foundation. This certification recognizes Google Cloud’s commitment to helping organizations manage their cloud costs effectively. We have done this successfully for many organizations including General Mills, OpenX and PayPal, to name a few.Â
Our work in this space is guided by Cloud FinOps, an operational framework and cultural shift that brings technology, finance, and business together to drive financial accountability and accelerate business value realization through cloud transformation. By implementing cloud FinOps capabilities, we help customers on their cloud transformation journey from strategy through implementation, enabling sustainable business outcomes that drive financial accountability, optimize cloud spend, and realize business value.
Our Cloud FinOps Global Practice is a virtual team of engineers, consultants, value advisors, and product experts organized to deliver a unified cloud experience to customers.
