Overall Satisfaction with ApptioOne
We were in need of a forecasting tool to replace an archaic spreadsheet process. ApptioOne filled that need, allowing over 100 users simultaneously to review and update forecasts with greater accuracy and simplicity. The abilities to quickly review past month's spend, project labor and nonlabor spend for future months, and to used named resources for labor are outstanding. As a manager of ApptioOne and Forecasting this tool has helped provide simplicity and organization to a process involving lost of people.
- Providing visibility into IT Spend from the GL
- Securing data by Department, Portfolio, or Business Unit
- Quickly comparing plans month over month or year over year with IT Planning
- More automation and better integrations between IT Planning and Cost Transparency Reporting
- Easier look and feel for IT Planning and Forecasting interfaces
- The ability to add more complete metadata when planning, including custom fields
We currently use many of the features that allow us to daily ingest database and spreadsheet info (financial and other) into ApptioOne and flow it through a model. Sad to say we use dozens of spreadsheet imports still along with many formalized Oracle and SQL Server database pulls directly into Apptio TBM Studio. Manual integrations would be very painful, but ApptioOne makes these simple and easy to automate. We also use great features to pull finalized data via APIs for in-house reporting.
- Visibility and customized reports have allowed us to run ad-hoc analysis in a fraction of the time it previously would take to pull together all the data needed.
- Our ability to manage shared resources and view and project work allocations to projects has increased dramatically.
- Our monthly forecast process has reduced to days rather than the constant throughout the month updates previously done.
- Cloudability
