Technology Business Management – The Way IT Was Meant To Be

At Apptio, we focus on turning every IT organization that we work with into a more efficient and effective partner with the business. Apptio's Technology Business Management (TBM) solutions enable IT leaders to clearly articulate the value of IT to their business peers in order to reduce IT costs and make ROI-optimized decisions.

A smarter approach to managing the business of IT

From the beginning, we set out to create a purpose-built, easy-to-use solution designed specifically to manage the cost and value of IT services. In just a few years, Apptio has become the established leader in delivering Technology Business Management solutions to some of the world’s most recognized brands. There are several factors that make Apptio’s approach to this emerging market unique, including:

A Comprehensive Approach to Managing the Business of IT:

Apptio was built from the ground up specifically targeting the financial management requirements of enterprise IT organizations. Apptio's suite of Technology Business Management applications deliver a comprehensive solution from basic budgeting, forecasting, and planning to robust Activity Based Costing (ABC) of IT services – all of which enables IT leaders to effectively communicate the cost, quality, and value of IT services to the business in a language they understand.

Flexibility to Handle Whatever Data You Have, Wherever You Have It:

The Apptio system seamlessly integrates with your current ITSM and corporate financial systems and can maintain key rates and assumptions that otherwise exist only in spreadsheets. With support for both “Top Down” and “Bottom Up” (activity based) financial modeling and patent-pending data inference technology that automatically identifies the relationships in data between otherwise disparate sources, Apptio works with your data today and helps mature them to into TBM processes tomorrow. No upgrades required!

Intelligent Software that is Easy to Use:

The Apptio platform delivers innovation that works hard, so you don't have to. From our slowly changing data schema to a powerful visual modeler and customizable, interactive reports, the Apptio system is designed to automate data integration and generate allocation models that adapt over time. Since allocation strategies and rules are often specific to IT, unwanted changes by any user can be rolled back with only a mouse click.

Low Upfront Investment and Fast Returns:

Apptio's On Demand solution requires no upfront hardware and software investment. By leveraging out-of-the-box domain accelerators and intelligent data inference technology, customers can quickly improve financial transparency across their organization. Many Apptio customers realize cost savings of 10-15% within the first six months of deployment.

Democratization of Business Intelligence:

Whether it’s called Next Generation BI or customer-focused development, Apptio is designed to empower every decision-maker in IT with the knowledge to make better choices and investments. Our easy-to-use reports provide domain experts early alerts to increasing cost trends and a deeper understanding of their fundamental cost drivers. “What If” scenario planning helps analyze the ROI of new initiatives, providing the justification needed to push smart projects forward. These tools allow for cost optimization to start at the grass roots level, generating significant and lasting organizational change.
