What is Apptio Cloudability?

Cloudability from Apptio, an IBM Company, is a cloud cost management and optimization tool that enables IT, finance, and business teams to optimize their costs and communicate the business value of the cloud. Cloudability is built to support the organizational adoption of cloud financial management - the process of bringing financial accountability to the scalable, variable, and distributed nature of the cloud.

Cloudability normalizes, and structures cloud billing and usage data from across public cloud ecosystems so that the user can actively manage spend and consumption to continuously improve the unit economics of cloud services, enabling teams to:
  • Fully allocate cloud spend, including containers and support charges, to ensure a full chargeback of cloud costs to the business.
  • Optimize cloud costs, leveraging rightsizing recommendations across major cloud service providers to reduce operating expenses and fund future innovation investments.
  • Make decisions with speed and confidence, enabling team ownership and accountability of cloud spend to better align cloud investments to business objectives.
  • Allocate shared costs, specialized technology and labor along with vendors to extend FinOps and accountability to the total cost of running cloud.

Apptio Cloudability Features

  • Supported: Visibility: Translates billing and usage data into a unified view to contextualize costs and govern cloud consumption.
  • Supported: Cost Optimization: Matches spend to needs, displays reservations and commitment based discounts, and identifies candidates for purchase and modification.
  • Supported: Efficiency: Continuously improves the unit economics of cloud with a shared understanding of costs and business value.

  • ApptioOne
Using ApptioOne to spread cloud costs like a Technical Support Manager, shared services, and other costs that are shared by multiple cost centers. That way FinOps teams don't have to eat that cost themselves, and instead can give those expenses to the teams using the services. Then with the modeling done in Apptio One, I help organizations visualize their costs in Apptio BI and ApptioOne reports.

We use TotalCost. Because Cloudability pulls in the big four or five cloud vendors, TotalCost brings in all of our cloud vendors that are even outside of AWS, Google, GCP, and OCI. So we get to see all of our total cost and then you can do your margin by product, by data center, by cloud vendor. So yes, you can do your margin analysis with TotalCost. We can see not only on a single pane of glass, our big cloud vendors, but with TotalCost we can see all of our cloud costs. So anything that falls outside of Azure, GCP, OCI, AWS, we still get that cost pulled into TotalCost, as well as we connect in our revenue by customer, by product, and do margins and custom goods sold in total cost.

You using these two products together enhances the benefits in terms of cost visibility and optimization and which makes it easier for organization to extend the functionality to other cloud providers and make data-driven decisions. Another useful thing is data integration using both of these tools together make it easier to consolidate and analyze information and remove manual intervention.

  • ApptioOne
It has actually been significantly difficult in my experience as I have been tasked at managing both in our organization, so I am Apptio Cloudability Admin and TBMA for our department trying to roll this out to users of both and help develop a TBM Office as well as a CCOE just seems like it should be discouraged to the buyers of the product.

Using the whole Apptio suite has helped us to provide Transparency of costs in mutiple areas (not only on Cloud). We have used ApptioOne for Cost Transparency, Cost allocations, Bill of IT and Consumption based analysis for our global operations.
