CDK Global · FinOps Profile

Cdk Global Finops

FinOps view of CDK Global is dominated by long-term DMS contracts (per-rooftop subscription with per-module add-ons) plus, on the Fortellis side, an ISV/marketplace pricing surface (platform subscription + per-transaction API fees). CDK does not publish a public rate card for either surface; cost-engineering teams must request a custom-quote and reconcile invoices against per-rooftop and per-API-transaction line items. The June 2024 ransomware outage exposed a material business-continuity / FinOps risk — ~$605M in dealer losses across roughly two weeks of degraded availability.
