Case Study: The University of Texas at Arlington achieves IT cost transparency and faster budgeting with Apptio

The University of Texas at Arlington shortens IT budgeting by 67% with Apptio

The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) faced a challenge with fragmented and decentralized IT services, lacking visibility into its costs. This made it difficult to provide colleges and departments with a clear understanding of service expenses. UTA implemented Apptio's suite of solutions, including Cost Transparency and IT Planning (now part of ApptioOne), to gain better financial control and support its strategic vision.

Apptio provided UTA with cost transparency, simplifying budgeting, forecasting, and ad-hoc reporting. The solution delivered significant results, shortening the annual budgeting process by 67% and allowing the team to answer ad-hoc questions 94% faster. Apptio also automated 98% of reports for the CIO's office, freeing up staff for other tasks and improving cross-departmental relationships through accurate, timely data.
