As enterprises accelerate investment in AI, cloud, and SaaS, the challenge is no longer just visibility

As enterprises accelerate investment in AI, cloud, and SaaS, the challenge is no longer just visibility, it’s about understanding, controlling, and optimizing the full economic lifecycle of the value of technology. MagicOrange joins the Governing Board at a time when organizations are increasingly looking to bring FinOps and ITFM practices together, combining financial accountability with operational insight across complex and dynamic technology environments.

“FinOps has evolved dramatically as organizations look to manage not just the value of cloud, but the full spectrum of technology spend including emerging value management areas such as SaaS, licensing, private cloud, data center, labor, and of course, AI.,” said J.R. Storment, Executive Director of the FinOps Foundation. “MagicOrange’s focus on connecting broader financial insight to operational decision-making is quite timely, and we’re excited to have their perspective helping contribute to the next phase of the convergence of FinOps with broader technology value .”

MagicOrange has long focused on helping organizations move beyond fragmented cost management toward a unified approach:  one that brings together financial planning, cost transparency, and operational accountability across all areas of technology spend.

“We’re excited to join the FinOps Foundation Governing Board at such a critical moment for the industry,” said David Harding, CEO of MagicOrange. “AI is fundamentally changing the cost dynamics of technology. Managing usage-based, unpredictable consumption requires more than traditional approaches—it demands a unified model for Technology Economics. FinOps and ITFM are coming together to meet that need—and vice versa—and we’re proud to help shape that future alongside the Foundation.”
