Case Study: National Grid achieves $47M in annual savings with Apptio TBM

National Grid saves $47M annually with Apptio

National Grid, a major utility company, faced pressure to reduce IT costs while undergoing a digital transformation and managing acquisitions. To increase customer value and meet regulatory needs, they needed greater transparency into their technology spend and ways to optimize it. They turned to the vendor Apptio and its Technology Business Management (TBM) solutions, including ApptioOne Plus and ApptioOne Benchmarking.

Apptio's solution enabled National Grid to establish a TBM office and implement a data-driven, use-case approach. This provided the transparency needed to identify specific savings opportunities. As a result, in the first year of a three-year program, Apptio helped National Grid achieve $47 million in annual savings through initiatives like application rationalization, cloud cost optimization, and identifying stranded costs during divestitures.
