Case Study: Jabil achieves 25% ITFM productivity gain with IBM Apptio

Jabil boosts ITFM productivity 25% with Apptio

Jabil, a global manufacturing solutions provider, faced challenges with its manual IT financial management processes. These inefficient methods, reliant on spreadsheets, led to slow planning cycles, a lack of cost transparency, and difficulty demonstrating the value of IT investments. To modernize its operations, Jabil chose to implement IBM Apptio.

By adopting IBM Apptio, Jabil automated its financial planning and chargeback workflows, integrating the solution with its existing systems. This provided greater cost visibility and enabled continuous, data-driven planning. The results included a 25% productivity gain, a reduction in month-end close by one day, and significant cost savings, including renegotiating a software contract to save $1 million annually. IBM Apptio transformed Jabil's ITFM into a streamlined, transparent discipline.
