Noah Trevor - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Unilever Inc.
Improved financial transparency has driven data-based decisions and optimized IT service costs
Apptio Costing offers exceptional reporting features that are second to none, showing companies what data to collect and how to go about creating and collecting consistent data, providing visibility into the IT department unlike any other software, and always improving and getting better. The reporting feature is second to none. The standard out-of-the-box reporting shows incredible insights and gives the information executives need to make the correct decisions easily. Service costing is another valuable feature. If you have to buy any module, this will be it. Comprehensive bottom-up service cost analysis and reporting is excellent. Apptio Costing has positively impacted my organization in every way. It has been beneficial to each and every customer, and its relatively quick implementation process saves time. The savings that are provided by finding unnecessary servers, expensive storage, or even phone bills that are not being utilized but paid for is incredible. Employees can make better decisions based on facts and not on assumptions about the unknown benefit of the IT department. Our IT department is now treated as an asset to the business and not just an expense. Our company can now make better technical investments and also increase productivity by a larger margin. Specific outcomes and metrics include an improvement in productivity from 40 to 55 percent improvement. Cost reduction has been significant, where we have reduced cost from 45 to 25 percent.
