Beyond Spreadsheets: Modernizing IT Financial Management

For ITFM leaders, maintaining clarity as IT complexity accelerates is challenging. Spreadsheet-based IT financial management quickly breaks down as hybrid IT, cloud services, SaaS, and AI investments expand. Numbers stop aligning, insights arrive late, and confident decision-making becomes harder.

This ITFM Insights podcast brings leaders back to the fundamentals of strong IT Financial Management. Through real-world examples, it explores why spreadsheets fail, how financial fog forms across hybrid IT environments, and why total cost visibility is essential for effective tech cost management and ITFM maturity.

If your ITFM practice feels reactive or fragmented, this episode helps you refocus on building a trusted cost foundation; improving cost transparency, aligning IT spend to business outcomes, and enabling IT to operate as a strategic partner, not just a reporting function.
