Apptio Technology Business Management is being used as our internal infrastructure billing and reporting system. We are working to complete our install of the ITP Planning and forecasting tool as well. We have also created a special module to handle our transfer pricing and allow international users access to chargeback details. The system is available to all users in the organization but mainly focuses on the IT users and application owners. Chargeback and cost transparency is the main reason why we are using Apptio Technology Business Management.
- Apptio Technology Business Management is easy to use from a reporting standpoint. Reports can be created quickly and end users can filter as needed to retrieve the desired data.
- Apptio Technology Business Management has been able to eliminate manual processes that involved numerous Excel spreadsheets. This enables the users to spend more time on analytics and less time on data manipulation.
- The transparency that Apptio Technology Business Management provides at the click of a button helps reduce the number of questions that the IT area receives. When questions are raised they are more focused and easier to understand.
- Apptio Technology Business Management struggles with some of the report formatting. We are using it in place of Excel and simple things like freezing the header and the left column are not available in Apptio Technology Business Management.
- Reports can become very large and the scroll bars on the page will impact users. When creating a report, the monitor size is very important. If you are working on a big screen the reports will be difficult to use on a smaller laptop screen.
- The refresh or warming time can become an issue based on the number of reports and the amount of data that you have in the system. Being able to identify reports that are driving this up are not easily identified.

- Service Costing – if you have to buy any module, this would be it! Comprehensive bottom up services cost analysis and reporting.
- Bill of IT – Great module if you do charge backs. Can also help with Show Back of costs to the business.
- Vendor Management – Manage SLAs and align those with vendor performance. While there are other products in the market that provide better functionality, this would be for a novice in this space.
- Service Costing – Clean up the inference engine. The inference engine helps automatically map relationships between data. It is however, prone to error.
- Application performance – Apptio was plagued by terrible application performance and response. They ned to work on this aggressively if they aspire to be the market leader.
- Application Lifecycle – This is an area that changes constantly and the company needs to really address it. A normal DEV to STAGE to PROD would suffice. Not the current mix of backwards and forwards environment copies which are tedious and confusing.
