In an important milestone for financial and IT operations, Visual One Intelligence has been awarded the prestigious FinOps Certified Platform status by the FinOps Foundation. This recognition is not just a badge of honor; it represents a commitment to delivering a robust Hybrid FinOps™ and IT Operations Management solution tailored for today's mixed technology environments that include on-premises systems and cloud services.
The FinOps certification process emphasizes a platform's alignment with the FinOps Framework, which is crucial for organizations looking to optimize their financial operations in the cloud and beyond. To qualify for this certification, Visual One Intelligence demonstrated a measurable and public alignment to the FinOps capabilities, effectively surpassing a threshold of 90% across multiple weighted criteria. Additionally, the platform maintained a well-trained team of FinOps Certified Practitioners—essential for delivering industry-leading insights and operational effectiveness.
Phil Godwin, President and COO of Visual One Intelligence, highlighted a significant challenge IT leaders often face: "Organizations do not operate entirely in the public cloud; they manage a blend of hyperscalers, private cloud, colocation, and on-premises resources. Traditional FinOps solutions focusing only on public cloud limits visibility into overall technology spending and can result in inefficient budget decisions."
Recognizing these complexities, Visual One Intelligence built its platform to encompass the entire environment that their clientele navigates daily. Developed with a focus on hybrid coverage, the platform facilitates operational insights that are far-reaching—bridging the gap that typically leaves teams relying on cumbersome manual reconciliations to track spending accurately. This innovative approach demonstrates that there is no need for organizations to sacrifice depth in reporting for FinOps rigor.
Through rigorous evaluations across the FinOps Framework capability domains, such as data ingestion, cost allocation, anomaly management, and reporting analytics, Visual One Intelligence has solidified its position as a key player in the FinOps space. This comprehensive evaluation not only verified its capabilities in these areas but also ensured adherence to the Foundation's criteria for extending FinOps practices beyond mere public cloud services.
"FOCUS support and framework alignment are integral to how we build our products," noted Jeff Symons, Senior Vice President of Product at Visual One Intelligence. "By ensuring that on-premises capacities and cloud expenditures are structured in the same FOCUS-conformant schema, our customers can effectively query their spending without navigating multiple disparate reports. This unification of reporting enables a more nuanced understanding of technology costs across their entire operations."
Visual One Intelligence’s dedication to innovation and excellence in hybrid financial operations is further exemplified by its position in the FinOps Foundation member directory and its visibility in the FinOps Landscape. As organizations increasingly seek comprehensive visibility into their infrastructure costs, having a certified platform like Visual One Intelligence becomes not only a strategic advantage but also a crucial necessity for informed decision-making.
