Case Study: Northwell Health achieves faster, more transparent IT financial planning with Apptio

Northwell Health cuts IT budget prep time by 30-50% with Apptio

Northwell Health, New York State's largest healthcare provider, faced significant challenges in managing its IT finances. The organization relied on manual, spreadsheet-based processes that were time-consuming, prone to error, and hampered its ability to provide timely, actionable data to business stakeholders. To overcome this and become a more strategic partner to the business, Northwell turned to Apptio's Financial Management solution.

By implementing Apptio, Northwell Health established a single source of truth for its IT spend, replacing its legacy spreadsheet system. The Apptio solution streamlined data aggregation, enabling the IT finance team to shift its focus from data wrangling to analysis. This resulted in time savings of 30-50% in preparation efforts, eliminated a multi-day validation process, and significantly reduced budget variance. The transparency and agility provided by Apptio allowed IT to earn the trust of the business and demonstrate its value as a strategic partner.
