How Orange uses agents to make FinOps everyone's responsibility
Orange implemented "FinOps Clean Days" and a Community of Practice to make cloud spend management a shared responsibility among its engineers. This approach combines gamification and AI agents to move from cloud cost awareness to active remediation.
Why it matters
Many organizations struggle to get engineers to take action on cloud spending. This model provides a framework for building accountability and using AI to automate cost-saving tasks across large technical teams.
The big picture
This article expands on the practical application of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, which was previously noted as being used by Deutsche Bank.
The details
- Orange's FinOps community of over 100 people achieved a Net Promoter Score above 70. - The approach aligns with McKinsey's four building blocks of organizational change. - The Gemini Enterprise App offers a no-code environment for creating FinOps agents. - Google Cloud Consulting supported the creation of Orange's FinOps Community of Practice.
What's next
Organizations are encouraged to first establish a community practice before introducing read-only agents and eventually deploying agents that can execute changes.
