As part of the IBM family, we at Apptio, an IBM Company, were excited to participate in our first IBM Think. We rolled out lots of innovations to help you maximize the value of your tech investments. Take a closer look!
Innovations in FinOps
- IBM FinOps Solution
- Cloudability MSP
IBM brings a FinOps solution for all – all cloud providers, all cloud costs, all maturity levels, and all FinOps stakeholders. Backed by the power of Cloudability + Turbonomic, IBM offers a unified FinOps solution that gives practitioners the breadth and depth needed to succeed in FinOps and make cloud a competitive advantage.
At all three stages of FinOps – inform, optimize, and operate – you’ll find ways to drive value for every dollar spent while also ensuring that applications get the resources they need in any cloud environment.
Managed Service Providers: harness your cloud vendor partnerships and FinOps expertise to optimize business outcomes for your customers’ cloud deployments!
Cloudability MSP ingests, structures, and customizes billing data across the major cloud vendors to mirror MSP contract arrangements, and provides billing tools to streamline how customers are invoiced for their cloud usage. It has a rich set of interactive features that bring visibility to this spend and recommendations that improve the economics of running cloud.
Innovations in TBM
- Apptio Costing + Turbonomic
- Apptio + ServiceNow
- UX/UI Updates
- Sustainability Reporting
- Apptio AI Assistant
IBM Turbonomic is announcing the availability of Apptio TBM products as a new, fully-supported Target type. Apptio is also releasing a new component for Apptio Costing to support Turbonomic.
Native integration between Turbonomic and Apptio makes it possible to capture consumptive metrics to allocate shared service costs. This gives organizations the power to identify, quantify and action on continuous cost and performance optimizations for their hybrid cloud investments.
Apptio and ServiceNow revolutionize application portfolio management with a co-developed solution that integrates Apptio’s Application TCO into ServiceNow’s Application Portfolio Management (APM). This newly formed bi-directional flow of data provides organizations with a comprehensive solution to reduce costs, manage risks, and align tech investments with business goals.
By delivering a single source of truth for costing data and enabling real-time cost updates, the partnership unlocks faster decision-making and a more agile IT environment.
IBM Apptio is evolving with exciting UX/UI updates to help customers access information faster and get the most value out of the product. These enhancements mark the initial steps towards fulfilling our commitment to refine the Apptio experience, making a more intuitive and valuable tool for all your costing, planning, and billing needs. These are the first advancements of many that represent IBM Apptio’s continued investment in its products, and commitment to work with customers to better serve their needs, now and in the future.
Our new sustainability reporting solution allows you to view the entire IT carbon estate (cloud & on-prem), feed data into regulatory reporting requirements, and track progress against carbon goals. This Professional Services engagement calculates IT carbon metrics with existing Apptio Costing and Cloudability data. Additional modeling will offer a set of custom reports that provide actionable data across hybrid cloud.
Apptio’s new AI Assistant is a generative AI chatbot trained on TBM and FinOps domain. Supported by secure IBM WatsonX data, this initial release supports queries into support information and product documentation. The Apptio AI Assistant helps customers navigate Apptio products quickly and seamlessly and offers a faster, more intuitive, and accessible way to access information.
