FOCUS™ is a technical specification and toolkit to build and maintain an open standard for cloud cost, usage, and billing data across all major cloud service providers.
The FinOps Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS™), delivers consistency and standardization to cloud cost data, enabling companies to better visualize the value of cloud. Transform complex cloud billing data into a simple standardized schema.
Simplify multi-cloud billing data and improve reporting consistency between multiple vendors. Remove complexity and overhead from processes such as allocation, chargeback, budgeting, forecasting, and the other FinOps capabilities.
