Vantage is now a FinOps Certified Platform by the FinOps Foundation

Today, we’re excited to share that Vantage has earned the distinction of being a FinOps Certified Platform, as recognized by the FinOps Foundation. This isn’t just a badge—it’s a signal of trust and maturity. Being a FinOps Certified Platform means that we’ve demonstrated alignment with the FinOps Framework, made meaningful contributions to the FinOps community, and equipped practitioners with the tools they need to drive cloud financial accountability.

The FinOps Certified Platform certification is awarded by the FinOps Foundation only to software platforms that meet rigorous criteria around functionality, expertise, and engagement. For enterprises evaluating FinOps platforms, our new certification provides confidence in two critical dimensions:

• Depth of Capabilities: Vantage delivers features directly aligned with the FinOps Framework that support core personas—whether you’re in engineering, finance, procurement, or leadership—seeking cross-functional visibility, cost allocation, forecasting, or budget control.
• Commitment to the Community: This certification also reflects our investment in building FinOps knowledge internally, sharing practical thought leadership, contributing to community assets, and being active in channels like the FinOps Foundation Slack, blogs, and various case studies.

Vantage also now appears on the official FinOps landscape and various member directories. For more information, see Vantage’s profile and certification details on the FinOps Foundation’s website. Expect Vantage to continue its involvement in the FinOps Foundation and Community.
