Case Study: Reckitt reduces cloud spend with IBM Cloudability from Apptio

Reckitt cuts cloud spend by 25% with Apptio

Reckitt, a global leader in consumer health and hygiene products, faced a challenge in managing and optimizing its rapidly scaling cloud spend after a large-scale migration. With usage expanding across diverse teams, the company needed stronger financial visibility, governance, and accountability. To address this, they turned to Apptio and implemented its IBM Cloudability solution to power a formal FinOps strategy.

The solution from Apptio involved integrating IBM Cloudability with Reckitt's Azure and LeanIX data to automate reporting and provide actionable insights. This enabled trusted cost allocation and empowered product teams. As a result, Reckitt reduced its overall monthly cloud spend by 25% and slashed Reserved Instance wastage by 97% within six months, establishing Cloudability as the single source of truth for cloud financial operations.
