Start from Here: FinOps KPIs is The New Standard for Cloud Governance

August 4, 2025

Many companies want to adopt FinOps (Cloud Financial Operations), but are you only receiving monthly reports on cloud costs?

“The cost goes up every month, but I don’t know why.” “They say to optimize, but I don’t know where to start.” “There are so many reports, but what am I supposed to do with them?”

Many companies using the cloud are experiencing these same concerns. Now, you need to be able to clearly see why costs are occurring, which metrics are inefficient, and what actions to take. Traditional cloud cost management often ends with just “checking the total amount.” But beyond simple cost reports, it’s time to shift from cost management to performance management with OpsNow FinOps KPIs.

Real Challenges Companies Face When Adopting FinOps

  • Lack of a shared language: The finance team reviewing costs and the engineering team operating the cloud use different metrics and units. When "costs are high" and "resources are lacking" don't mean the same thing, decision-making inevitably gets delayed.
  • Difficulty in setting quantitative goals: If the goal is “cost savings,” there are no numeric standards for how much to reduce or in which areas. In the end, adjustments are made based on gut feeling and repeated without structure.
  • Lack of performance tracking and improvement cycles: It’s difficult to track what actions were taken and how much actual impact they made. Operating based on measurable, repeatable results becomes a challenge.

That’s why OpsNow has released FinOps KPIs to address these issues and provide a data-driven framework for true FinOps execution.

Three Key Features Provided by FinOps KPIs

This menu is not just a simple report generator. It is designed to realize a positive cycle of “goal setting → metric tracking → execution → validation.” The limitations of traditional methods can be improved through the core features of FinOps KPIs.

1. Goal setting and tracking based on KPIs
Instead of just setting a budget, you can define and manage KPIs aligned with your organization’s business goals. You’re not just checking for budget overruns, but setting and tracking targets based on a variety of metrics such as optimization opportunity cost, storage efficiency, and the rate of unused reserved instances. This makes it easier to understand what costs are being wasted and where.

2. Expert-level KPI items and Insight recommendations
You can select only the necessary metrics from a curated set of KPI items selected by FinOps experts.  An AI-based recommendation feature helps configure metrics suited to your environment, and users can create and monitor KPI groups based on their own criteria. This enables clear cost optimization through team and organization-level accountability and benchmarking comparisons.

3. Actionable dashboards
Provides customized dashboard templates optimized for various organizational personas such as Finance, Engineering, and Leadership. You get visualized insights such as cost trends over time and cost comparisons by group, and everything is ready to run without separate configuration.

To help you get started without complex configurations or concerns, OpsNow provides a practical and structured FinOps Kickstart KPI standard.
Based on the KPI framework presented by the FinOps Foundation, we have selected and implemented 17 realistic and effective KPI metrics that can be tracked right away.

Example metrics include the following:

  • Effective Savings Rate Percentage
  • Percentage of oversized instances
  • Average price per hour of compute
  • Cloud Cost as a Percentage of Spend
  • Budget vs Actual CSP Cloud Spend
    *The full list can be found in the Goal Setting tab within the menu.

These metrics are designed so that finance, engineering, and business teams within a company can use them as a shared language. We will continue to support more CSPs and expand the list of KPI metrics going forward.

Can These Metrics Really be Trusted to Get Started Right Away?

OpsNow is the first platform in Korea to receive official FCP (FinOps Certified Platform) certification from the global FinOps Foundation. This means OpsNow has been internationally recognized for reliably providing the functions needed to execute FinOps. Rather than just aggregating costs, the platform is designed to support real cost savings and operational efficiency, and the core of this feature is that it provides AI-driven insights based on actual execution data.

If you’re an OpsNow user, you can access the FinOps KPIs menu and get started right away. With an intuitive interface, KPI recommendation guide, and actionable dashboards, you can begin executing FinOps immediately using trusted metrics—no complex setup required.

From Strategy to Execution: Get Started with a Simple 3-Step Setup

You want to optimize your cloud costs, but don’t have time for a complex setup process, right? That’s why we’ve designed a fast, clear, and flexible setup process. It helps turn scattered data into a clear story so each team can confidently take action and easily understand how their decisions impact costs.

1. Set goals based on the metrics provided by OpsNow
Select KPIs that reflect your organization’s priorities, such as rate optimization or workload efficiency, and set target values.  To set your target values, just remember two things. Compare the current baseline suggested by AI advice, which is based on real user data analysis, with OpsNow’s pre-filled default target value to configure realistic goals suited to your environment.

2. Focus on achieving goals based on your role
Group KPIs using persona-based templates for reuse. For example, the engineering team can focus on workload optimization, while the finance team focuses on rate optimization.  This approach helps each team concentrate on its role without repetitive checks or micromanagement, improving work efficiency.

3. Grow through team-level accountability and KPI comparisons
When you assign persona-based KPI templates to specific teams, each team now has clear responsibility for its KPIs. The entire organization can share a common performance language, making collaboration and execution smoother. Those with higher-level permissions can analyze and compare team performance by reviewing the Best Top 5 and Worst Top 5 KPI achievements, identifying weak points, and making improvements together.

This feature automatically analyzes KPI data, explains the root causes of problems, suggests next steps, and generates shareable reports for stakeholders. With this, teams can turn data into actionable decisions quickly and move forward with greater confidence.

Cloud Cost Optimization — Act on Data, Not Guesswork

As cloud adoption becomes mainstream, many organizations are facing the same challenge. They want to reduce costs but don’t know where to start. Now is the time for business decision-makers, finance teams, and operations managers to speak and act based on clear metrics and evidence. FinOps KPIs provide clear standards and proven impact. Cloud governance is no longer just about seeing, it’s about executing. With the newly released FinOps KPIs from OpsNow, it’s time to shift your cloud governance to a data-driven approach.

Unclear cloud management is a thing of the past. Start setting clear goals and see for yourself whether they’re achieved — and optimize along the way. With FinOps KPIs, a new era of transparent, actionable cloud governance begins.
