Tangoe, a provider of technology expense management solutions, announced that its Tangoe One Cloud solution has been recognized by the FinOps Foundation as a FinOps Certified Platform. This validation indicates that Tangoe One Cloud meets the Foundation’s requirements across the FinOps Framework’s core Domains and Capabilities. Additionally, Tangoe introduced a new AI Cost Visibility Dashboard and expanded product support for FOCUS™, a technical specification designed to simplify data normalization and accelerate insight-to-action for FinOps practitioners.
The certification, new AI cost dashboards, and expanded FOCUS support demonstrate Tangoe’s focus on helping customers manage technology return on investment through data, automation, and governance.
Enterprise cloud bills show generative AI services as a fast-growing component, with Forrester projecting a 36% average annual growth rate through 2030. The FinOps Foundation’s 2025 “State of FinOps” report notes that 63% of FinOps teams manage AI spend, an increase from 31% a year ago. Tangoe’s research with Foundry indicates that organizations using AI-powered software with FinOps processes are 53% more likely to achieve over 20% savings on cloud costs.
Chris Ortbals, Chief Product Officer at Tangoe and Governing Board member of the FinOps Foundation, stated that achieving FinOps Certified Platform status and supporting it with AI cost dashboards and deeper FOCUS support demonstrates Tangoe’s expertise in providing customers with the data, automation, and governance needed to maximize technology investment ROI.
Steven Trask, Chief Operating Officer of the FinOps Foundation, commented that enhancements aligning with the FinOps Framework capabilities and supporting the FOCUS specification are being released by Premier Members like Tangoe. He noted that Tangoe’s certification and updated FOCUS support provide practitioners with another Certified FinOps Platform to accelerate FinOps adoption.
The updates in Tangoe One Cloud aim to deepen Tangoe’s alignment with FinOps practices and provide practitioners with more control over cloud cost drivers.
* **AI Cost Visibility Dashboard:** This new view allows users to visualize and isolate AI and machine-learning spend by cloud provider, project, and cost center. Trend analysis views can help identify usage spikes.
* **Expanded FOCUS Support:** Tangoe One Cloud now ingests, enriches, and reports on data sets that adhere to the FinOps Open Cost & Usage Specification (FOCUS). Functional updates are designed to keep metadata, allocation rules, and data exports consistent with the latest FOCUS schema, supporting informed decision-making about cloud resources.
Tangoe One Cloud plans to release platform support for modules covering Unit Economics, Cloud Sustainability, Forecasting, and Weighted Cost Distribution later this year. These additions will extend Tangoe’s coverage across FinOps Framework capabilities, which already include Data Ingestion, Allocation, Licensing & SaaS, and Workload Optimization.
Gartner estimates that enterprises overspend on cloud by as much as 70%, with this number increasing as AI workloads expand. Chris Ortbals added that Tangoe One Cloud is built to assist enterprises in managing this complex cost challenge. For channel, reseller, and systems integrator partners, it offers a solution for their FinOps-minded customers. AI-powered insights, FOCUS-aligned data normalization, and automation aim to reduce manual effort, enabling enterprises to manage spending and demonstrate ROI across multi-cloud environments, SaaS applications, and AI workloads that impact IT and innovation budgets.
