Governing AI in the Cloud: The Convergence of FinOps and ITAM

Technology spend has become the second-largest expense line item for enterprises — surpassed only by people. Yet as artificial intelligence rapidly proliferates across cloud environments, organizations face a critical gap: traditional FinOps teams optimize cost, while ITAM teams ensure compliance and visibility. These disciplines operate in silos, leaving shadow AI systems untracked and uncontrolled. The shift is inevitable: FinOps and ITAM must converge into a unified function that delivers both financial rigor and governance discipline. 

One-third of IT decision-makers have placed AI integration at the top of their strategic agenda, with 94% actively embedding AI into their technology stacks. Yet 36% of organizations believe they are overspending on AI — a gap that reveals the cost of fragmentation. Departments deploy generative AI tools, machine learning pipelines, and agentic AI systems without registering them in ITAM inventories or routing them through FinOps cost controls. 

As agentic AI moves from concept to production, organizations will need a unified discipline that combines asset governance with cost optimization — precisely where FinOps and ITAM intersect.

Leaner Smarter EUC for Modern Enterprises

If you run end user computing (EUC) at scale, you’ve probably lived this story: a project spins up, a cohort of contractors arrives, or a seasonal peak hits, so you provision more virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) capacity “just in case”. Three months later, half those desktops sit idle, but the licence meter keeps running and the operational drag (patching, directory dependencies, image sprawl, support tickets) never really goes away.
