Background

The executive team of Apptio has over 50 years of experience in the IT infrastructure and systems management market from Mercury, HP, Microsoft, Citrix, Opsware, Compuware, and IBM. Co-founder and CEO Sunny Gupta was the former EVP of Products at Opsware and previously co-founded and grew iConclude to become a pioneer in the IT runbook automation market and led it to its acquisition by Opsware.   Coming off of the Opsware and HP acquisitions the founding team worked broadly with Enterprise IT customers to understand deeply, and begin defining a solution for, one of their greatest pain points – getting better transparency into the costs of IT.  With development underway in late 2007 the team raised an initial round of funding, began product development, and has been experiencing significant traction with early customers from across the Global 5000.
