Case Study: Lowe’s achieves faster speed to market and greater productivity with IBM Targetprocess

Lowe’s uses IBM Targetprocess to become more agile and increase speed to market

Lowe’s, one of the world’s largest home improvement retailers, needed to modernize its technology organization to move faster, improve strategic alignment, and shift from project-based funding to a more value-driven operating model. Using IBM Targetprocess and IBM Apptio, the company aimed to gain clearer visibility into tech spending and better align teams, products, and delivery work with business priorities.

IBM implemented IBM Apptio and IBM Targetprocess to combine financial and operational data, improve work and portfolio management, and support a product-focused agile approach. The results included faster speed to market, greater team productivity, simplified forecasting, and a 10% reduction in legacy applications, along with a 25% reduction in cloud costs through rightsizing.
