Google Cloud is officially a FinOps Certified Service Provider

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. 

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. As such, we offer a wide range of cloud FinOps tools and differentiated offerings to help customers across key strategic areas of cloud FinOps, including:

• Cloud billing budgets and alerts

• Cloud cost management tools

• Cloud FinOps strategy and design

• Cloud cost optimization analysis

• Transparency and value realization

Google Cloud is also a premier member of the FinOps Foundation, which is a non-profit organization that promotes the adoption of FinOps practices.

We strive to help our customers manage their cloud costs effectively. The FinOps Certified Service Provider certification is a testament to our commitment to FinOps and our dedication to helping our customers succeed with their cloud investments.

Later this month, we’ll be participating in the FinOps X Conference, a two-day event focused on helping organizations get the most out of their cloud investments.
