Case Study: Siemens optimizes cloud spend with IBM Cloudability

Siemens optimizes cloud spend across 7,000 accounts with Apptio

Siemens, a global technology conglomerate, faced a significant challenge managing its rapidly growing public cloud infrastructure. With roughly 7,000 accounts across multiple hyperscalers and spending increasing 30% annually, the company needed a robust solution to distinguish productive growth from inefficiency and optimize its cloud spend. To address this, Siemens selected Apptio's IBM Cloudability for its superior multi-cloud capabilities and proven success.

Apptio's IBM Cloudability provided Siemens with a single-pane-of-glass view for comprehensive cost visibility across all its cloud accounts. The solution enabled sophisticated commitment management, accurate showback to business units, and data-driven optimization recommendations. As a result, Siemens gained the enhanced visibility and robust reporting needed to identify cost-reduction opportunities and meet ambitious productivity targets, all while ensuring a smooth and friction-free transition to the new platform.
