In this episode, Ryan Stefani speaks with Tamara Lajara, FinOps Team Lead at Crayon about the similarities and differences between ITAM and FinOps. Spoiler alert - there are more similarities than differences.

Yes, ITAM and FinOps may look the same and share common goals, but you wouldn't use a hammer to cut a piece of wood. The answer to the question above will tell you which tool you need.
