Case Study: FactSet advances FinOps and boosts cloud cost transparency with IBM Cloudability from Apptio

FactSet boosts RDS coverage from 40% to 90% with Apptio

FactSet, a financial data and software company, faced challenges managing costs across approximately 3,000 cloud accounts. Their internally built cost management tool lacked the transparency and actionable insights needed for effective FinOps, making it difficult to empower engineers and optimize spend. They turned to Apptio's product, IBM Cloudability, for a more capable solution.

Implementing IBM Cloudability provided FactSet with superior cost visibility and allocation capabilities. The solution enabled engineers to take ownership of spend and doubled their RDS commitment coverage from 40% to 90%, significantly optimizing cloud costs. Apptio's tool also strengthened collaboration with finance and provided the foundation for advancing toward unit economics.
