Case Study: Fortune 100 Telecommunications Company achieves $10B in savings with Shibumi

How a Fortune 100 Telecommunications Company Uses Shibumi to Save $10 Billion in Costs

a major telecommunications company sought to implement a zero-based budgeting (ZBB) program to realize significant cost savings but struggled to synthesize data from hundreds of spreadsheets across its four business units. This lack of a centralized view left leadership confused and prevented them from achieving a holistic transformation. They turned to the Shibumi platform to address this challenge.

Shibumi provided a single source of truth, eliminating spreadsheets and creating real-time visibility into spending. The solution was configured to identify needlessly inflated budgets and duplicate expenses, enabling the successful shift to ZBB. By managing over 5,000 initiatives within Shibumi, the company achieved $10 billion in savings, which were then funneled into innovation-driving projects.
