Case Study: a leading FMI company streamlines IT planning with IBM Apptio

Leading FMI Company streamlines IT planning with Apptio and manages 35,000 lines of actuals

A leading financial market infrastructure (FMI) company, with over half of its operating expenses tied to IT, faced a challenging and decentralized planning process. Its spreadsheet-heavy approach created inconsistencies and limited visibility, making it difficult to effectively budget for IT spend. To address this, the company turned to IBM Apptio to implement Apptio Planning.

The solution provided a single source of truth for IT costs, integrating with Oracle and ServiceNow to centralize data and streamline the budgeting process. Apptio Planning enabled the company to establish a clear budget structure tied to objectives, increase accountability, and foster better collaboration between IT and finance teams. This transformation provided leaders with detailed insight for analysis and decision-making, setting a new standard for financial transparency across the organization.
