Do you know what each IT service really costs you?
If the answer is 'more or less', you have a governance problem. You can't optimize what you don't know you're spending — and the CFO wants numbers, not quarrelsome-spreadsheet estimates.
From cost to value: Technology Business Management
Apptio takes raw costs — infrastructure, licenses, staff, cloud — and translates them into business language: by service, by application, by business unit. The CFO sees what 'the CRM' or 'the ERP' costs, not 'the servers'. Showback and chargeback make consumers accountable.
It's the standard (ATUM model) that makes costs comparable and decisions — renew, migrate, consolidate — informed.
Multi-provider cloud under control
Cloudability allocates every cloud euro to teams and projects, spots waste (orphan instances, unused reservations) and forecasts AWS, Azure and Google spend in one view. Typical recovery on identified waste: -20%.
Together, Apptio and Cloudability give the CIO the end-to-end view of spend and the FinOps team the tools to act — not just to watch.
