Case Study: E.ON Digital Technology GmbH achieves IT cost transparency with Apptio

E.ON Digital Technology GmbH improves IT cost transparency across 250 legal entities with Apptio

E.ON Digital Technology GmbH, the IT and digital unit of international energy company E.ON, faced a challenge in managing the significant complexity and increasing number of IT projects across its many legal entities. They needed a standardized solution for IT cost transparency to better manage consumption, allocate costs, and track savings. To address this, they implemented Apptio and its Technology Business Management (TBM) framework.

Apptio provided E.ON with a clear taxonomy and a standardized Bill of IT, enabling effective cost allocation and chargeback to over 250 business units. The solution improved communications with stakeholders by creating a common language and allowed for the definition of key performance indicators. Apptio also serves as the cost engine for E.ON's enterprise architecture platform, integrating with LeanIX to provide accurate cost data that informs critical architectural and investment decisions.
