The high cost of ungoverned enterprise AI
As enterprises rapidly integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) and autonomous AI agents across engineering, IT, and business teams, a financial crisis has taken shape in the background: unmanaged AI spend.
Today, acquiring access to models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, or Google Gemini often happens through informal channels. A developer sends a Slack message asking an admin for an API key, and an admin generates the key directly in a vendor portal and drops it into a chat window.
While this unblocks innovation in the short term, it creates long-term operational and financial risks:
- Lack of spend visibility: Financial oversight is fragmented across dozens of individual vendor dashboards (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI).
- Runaway agentic consumption: Autonomous AI agents executing complex multi-step workflows risk running infinite loops without budget guardrails.
- No financial attribution: Finance teams cannot attribute token consumption back to specific clients, internal departments, or billable projects.
- Security vulnerabilities: Manual API key distribution leads to credential sprawl, untracked access, and potential security leaks.
Organizations need a way to empower developers with self-service AI access while giving IT Operations and FinOps teams centralized control, hard budget caps, and real-time visibility.
Introducing FinOps for AI by Isos Technology
To solve the enterprise AI governance bottleneck, Isos Technology is proud to announce FinOps for AI, a turnkey solution designed to bring financial clarity, automated access governance, and security to your enterprise AI stack. FinOps for AI converts unstructured, ad-hoc API key requests into policy-driven, auditable workflows directly inside Jira Service Management (JSM).
Built as a native Atlassian Forge application connected to an open-source LLM proxy (LiteLLM), FinOps for AI sits between your service desk and multi-vendor AI APIs. It automates the entire lifecycle of LLM access, from request and approval to provisioning, usage tracking, and automated key revocation.
Key capabilities
Unlike standalone API gateways that require teams to adopt entirely new administrative platforms, FinOps for AI embeds governance into the Atlassian tools your teams already use every day.
1. Unified multi-model governance
Manage spend across Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, and Gemini from a single control plane. Custom fields automatically pull approved vendors and models into JSM request forms using Atlassian Assets, eliminating manual endpoint tracking.
2. Project-level cost attribution
Track token consumption not just by the individual requester, but by the specific Jira Account or Work Item. FinOps teams can accurately allocate monthly token spend back to specific client accounts, billable projects, or cost centers.
3. Automated budget caps & one-time key security
Enforce custom rules based on monthly budget ceilings, duration limits, and user group permissions. Once approved, the system automatically provisions a scoped key. To maintain strict security, credentials and pre-formatted cURL scripts are displayed to the requester strictly one time inside JSM before being permanently purged from display.
4. Built-in AI Rules Wizard
To prevent logic flaws in complex governance policies, the solution includes a native AI Rules Wizard. The tool evaluates your configuration in plain language, flagging unintended overrides (such as an OR condition accidentally bypassing a $20 monthly budget cap) before rules go live.
Our AI governance framework
FinOps for AI is delivered as a fixed-fee, 90-day packaged engagement led by Isos Technology. We don’t just hand over software; we establish your operational AI Center of Excellence (CoE).
