FinOps for Hybrid IT: Extending Visibility Beyond the Cloud

Controlling IT spend used to mean managing cloud invoices. Today, it’s far more complex. Modern enterprises run workloads across multiple platforms — cloud, virtualized, and on-premises — each with its own cost structures and dependencies.
