In my role at the accounting department, I primarily rely on the flexible analytics feature within IBM Apptio. This tool has been especially helpful in providing clear, easy-to-understand fiscal year financials. It also supports budgeting efforts by allowing me to quickly assess how much of a department’s budget has been utilized to date.

One example of IBM Apptio proving valuable is when reviewing the budget of a specific department or agency. The platform makes it straightforward to locate and access the financial information I need. However, when it comes to comparing multiple departments within the same agency, the interface presents a limitation—I’m unable to view them side by side. Instead, I must exit one view to access another, which can slow down the comparison process.
