Reporting & Analytics

Reporting and analytics turns FinOps data into views that stakeholders can use: high-level trends for executives, detailed breakdowns for FinOps and engineering teams, and exportable reports for finance and BI. This section explains how to use Cloudaware analytics to build and share cost dashboards, track key FinOps KPIs, and integrate with external tools.

Use these guides together:

• KPIs – common FinOps metrics and how to interpret them.

• Dashboards – standard dashboards and persona‑specific views.

• Exports – ways to share data and reports with external systems.

Cloudaware FinOps builds on the same underlying capabilities as standard Salesforce reports, but uses cost, allocation, and optimization data instead of (or in addition to) inventory data.

Goals

With Reporting & Analytics you can:

• Provide consistent, role‑appropriate cost views across teams and clouds.

• Track trends for cost, allocation quality, commitments, and optimization over time.

• Support budget, forecast, and anomaly workflows with clear, visual context.

• Feed finance and BI tools with the same curated dataset used inside Cloudaware.

Dashboards and reports are most effective when ingestion, allocation, and budgets are already in place.
