Innovation in Action: FinOps, TBM Conference, and Embedded World 2025

Happy August!

This summer has been full of innovation, connection, and meaningful conversations. We attended a successful GitLab event, enjoyed inspiring trips to Colorado, and strengthened our relationships with customers and partners.

And the momentum continues! Here’s where you can still catch us in action:

TBM Conference 2025

Dive into “TBM by Design” where strategic leadership, FinOps craftsmanship, and portfolio innovation meet to unlock the full potential of technology investments.

Embedded World Conference North America 2025
