FinOps | Essential IT language
| IT was once a staff department that managed their affairs to a large extent independently with their own budget. Nowadays IT often touches the core of an organization while integration with various other functions within the company is still insufficient. The financial aspects of IT in particular are difficult to understand. Conversation with the technical colleague is often also made more difficult because he speaks a 'different language'. |
| |
| A good and practical understanding of the technical terms is crucial because as a finance or IT professional you are responsible for IT investments, analyzing movements in costs and giving a sustainable judgment about the reliability of the IT systems. |
