Tangoe One Cloud Achieves FinOps Certified Platform Status, Delivers New AI Cost Visibility and Enhanced FOCUS Support

New Capabilities Help FinOps Teams Tame Runaway AI and Cloud Spending

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tangoe, a leader in technology expense management solutions for more than two decades, today announced that its Tangoe One Cloud solution has been recognized by the FinOps Foundation as a FinOps Certified Platform – validating that it meets the Foundation’s rigorous requirements across the FinOps Framework’s core Domains and Capabilities. Additionally, Tangoe introduced multiple updates in Tangoe One Cloud, including a new AI Cost Visibility Dashboard and expanded product support of FOCUS™, a technical specification designed to simplify data normalization and accelerate insight-to-action for FinOps practitioners.

Growing Cloud and AI Costs Demand Certified, Purpose-built Tools

Generative-AI services are the fastest-growing component of enterprise cloud bills, with Forrester projecting a 36% average annual growth rate through 2030. The FinOps Foundation’s 2025 “State of FinOps” report echoes the urgency, noting that 63% of FinOps teams now manage AI spend – up from 31% a year ago. And yet the positive impact of AI to enable FinOps and find efficiencies is unmistakable. Tangoe’s own research with Foundry shows organizations that use AI-powered software with FinOps processes are 53% more likely to save over 20% on cloud costs.

“When cloud, SaaS and AI are left unchecked, innovation can become a blank-check liability,” said Chris Ortbals, Chief Product Officer at Tangoe and Governing Board member of the FinOps Foundation. “Achieving FinOps Certified Platform status – and backing it with AI cost dashboards and deeper FOCUS support – proves both Tangoe’s commitment and world-class expertise to arm customers with the data, automation and governance they need to maximize the ROI of their technology investments.”

“It’s exciting to see Premier Members like Tangoe releasing enhancements that align to the FinOps Framework capabilities and support the FOCUS specification,” said Steven Trask, Chief Operating Officer, FinOps Foundation. “Tangoe’s certification, coupled with its updated FOCUS support, gives practitioners another Certified FinOps Platform to accelerate FinOps adoption and advance their practice.”

New Additions to Tangoe One Cloud

The latest updates in Tangoe One Cloud introduce significant enhancements that deepen Tangoe’s alignment with FinOps best practices and give practitioners more control over the most volatile cloud cost drivers.

• AI Cost Visibility Dashboard – A new, purpose-built view provides users with an easy way to visualize and isolate AI and machine-learning spend by cloud provider, project and cost center. Trend analysis views can help practitioners spot usage spikes.
• Expanded FOCUS Support in Tangoe One Cloud ingests, enriches and reports on any data set that adheres to the FinOps Open Cost & Usage Specification (FOCUS). New functional updates eliminate tedious file re-mapping and are designed to keep metadata, allocation rules and data exports in lockstep with the latest FOCUS schema, to support informed decision-making about cloud resources.
• Coming SOON! New Modules for Advanced FinOps – Later this year, Tangoe One Cloud will release platform support to include modules covering Unit Economics, Cloud Sustainability, Forecasting, Weighted Cost Distribution and more – extending Tangoe’s coverage across FinOps Framework capabilities that already include Data Ingestion, Allocation, Licensing & SaaS, and Workload Optimization.

“Gartner estimates that enterprises overspend on cloud by as much as 70%, and that number only climbs as AI workloads expand unconstrained,” added Chris Ortbals. “Tangoe One Cloud is built to help enterprises take control of this complex cost management challenge. For channel, reseller and systems integrator partners, it also provides a proven solution for their FinOps-minded customers. AI-powered insights, FOCUS-aligned data normalization, and automation eliminates manual effort, empowering enterprises to tame spending and demonstrate ROI across multi-cloud environments, hundreds of SaaS apps, and growing AI workloads that are inflating IT and innovation budgets.”
