Budgeting and Forecasting:
How Budgeting Relates to your Cost Models for Better Planning and Transparency

Step through the budgeting lifecycle, with details on how to incorporate expense line items, headwinds, tailwinds and project budgeting. You then gain an understanding of how to align budgets to products and services that are consumed by your business units.

As consumption data is captured, actual usage can be compared back to budget. This enables an IT organization to look at trends for better forecasting and planning. The entire process can be facilitated by employing the right technology for automation.

Apptio's Budgeting and Forecasting solution provides visual modeling to help align budgets to products and services. A riveting case study is shown in which a Shared Services Provider used Apptio's solution to create a cloud model for IT services. The model was further applied to budgeting and demand planning.

This is the fifth webinar in the 2011 series, "Understanding and Leveraging IT Financial Transparency to Improve Business Alignment." Join experts from SteelGlass Consulting, leaders in IT transparency professional services, for this complimentary educational webinar series brought to you by Apptio.
