Case Study: Exelon achieves $150M in run-rate savings with Apptio IT optimization

Exelon delivers over $150M in run-rate savings with Apptio

Exelon, a Fortune 100 energy company, faced the challenge of managing and optimizing its complex IT ecosystem following a major merger and years of acquisitions. Their IT costs lacked transparency, making it difficult to allocate spending and achieve the expected synergies. To address this, Exelon adopted Technology Business Management (TBM) principles and deployed Apptio to gain control over its IT assets and services portfolio.

By implementing Apptio, Exelon integrated its IT financial data with application and service portfolios, creating unprecedented cost transparency. This allowed the IT organization to reorganize as a shared services organization, directly charge business units for consumption, and launch targeted optimization programs. The solution delivered over $150 million in run-rate savings by 2018, including $24 million from contractor rationalization, while also enabling Exelon to efficiently manage cloud costs and make data-driven decisions on future technology investments.
