SUMMARY:Live webcast: AI Costing Foundations: How to Capture the True

 _source=brighttalk-transact\n\nPresenter: Trae Baker, Principal Strate
 gic Advisor, TBM and FInOps, at Rego Consulting featuring James Pearso
 n, Technology Cost & Value, at Yarken\n\nAI spend is moving out of the
  innovation playground and onto the operating budget. As leadership as
 ks what business value these tools are delivering, many Finance and IT
  teams are finding that raw vendor bills don't tell the full story. Di
 sparate data sources, mismatched reporting cadences, and token usage a
 re only part of the puzzle.  Finding out the real cost of AI spans inf
 rastructure, facilities, internal labor, and vendor commitments.\n \nJ
 oin Rego's Trae Baker, alongside special guest James Pearson from our 
 partner at Yarken, as they share how to pull these scattered cost driv
 ers out of separate systems and into a unified model.\n \nIn this sess
 ion, you’ll learn how to:\n• Map Your True AI Footprint: Look beyond b
 asic API token bills to capture all five cost drivers: compute, tokens
 , software licenses, development labor, and vendor contracts.\n• Conne
 ct Disparate Cost Data: Walk through where each driver lives and how t
 o handle fixed vs. variable data frequency.\n• Attribute Cost to Actua
 l Work: Combine cost allocation with basic telemetry to link spend dir
 ectly to specific applications, business units, and operational tasks.
 \n• Make Practical Portfolio Decisions: Use your data to build straigh
 tforward, defensible recommendations on which AI initiatives to expand
 , optimize, or retire.\n \nThis session is geared toward FinOps and IT
 FM leaders taking on the added challenge of governing enterprise AI co
 sts alongside traditional cloud spend.  Instead of just asking "what d
 id we spend on AI?", you will learn how to build a repeatable framewor
 k that answers "what work was performed, by whom, at what cost, and fo
 r what actual value?"
