Financial Management
Apptio’s Financial Management solution allows IT Finance leaders to establish an accurate, efficient, and accountable budgeting, forecasting, and spend analysis process that reduces planning time by up to 80 percent, shrinks budget variances, drives accountability, and provides deep analysis of labor, assets, and vendor contracts.
Automate the planning process, move faster, and gain accuracy
Analyze labor, asset, and vendor spend for cost-saving opportunities
Optimize by adjusting resources as business needs dictate
Cloud & Hybrid
Apptio’s Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure solution is a cloud cost management and optimization software that reduces cloud costs and increases the speed and success rate. Our solution uses machine learning to identify optimization opportunities, while surfacing utilization, capacity, and total cost of on-premises infrastructure—empowering cloud leadership to rein in excessive cloud usage and spend.
Stop hiding the unified view of your cloud spend in static bills from multiple CSPs
Reject a cloud migration strategy not built on a unified view of hybrid IT
Stamp out indefensible cloud Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculations based on guesswork, not data
Apps & Services
Apptio’s Applications & Services solution enables IT leaders to articulate the true cost and business value of their application, service, and product portfolios. It leverages a single source of truth that provides self-service analytics to business users and enables the redeployment of unlocked resources to dramatically increase funding for growth and transformation projects.
Understand and optimize the cost structure for the apps and services that power the business
Only spend money on the applications that matter to your business
Redeploy unlocked resources to dramatically increase funding for growth and transformation projects
Vendors & Suppliers
Apptio’s Vendors & Suppliers solution provides IT finance leaders with visibility into the entirety of their external technology spend. It combines contract, purchase order, accounts payable, and invoice data into a single system so IT finance leaders can understand each contract’s business value, recommend adjustment or cancellation of contracts prior to renewal, reallocate unused and open purchase orders, and optimize contracts with managed service providers (MSPs).
Eliminate fragmented vendor spend and drive economies of scale
Prevent misuse of spend and free funds tied up in unnecessary commitments
End overpayment of MSPs
Agile & Projects
Apptio’s Agile & Projects solution leverages activity data from Project Portfolio Management (PPM), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Financial Management systems to plan the optimal mix of portfolio investments, continuously understand value delivery and shift resources between Agile products and Waterfall projects.
Build business cases for investments across agile product & traditional product delivery methods
Plan, track, and adjust teams to ensure value delivery across products and the project portfolio
Shift funds and resources between products and projects based on business performance
Business Value
Apptio’s Business Value solution calculates IT bills using your service catalog, service rates, and business consumption data. The outcome is better conversations with the business about the consumption that drives IT’s rates as well as reduced time spent answering questions about those charges.
End indefensible and uninformed allocation of IT costs
End even-spread cost recovery that punishes optimization and rewards waste
Avoid unfair pricing strategies that fail to drive behavior through chargeback
