Adapting to Mandates, Enhancing Cloud Transparency: Insights from the Apptio Summit

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the Apptio, an IBM Company Summit, where public and private sector leaders came together to explore how Technology Business Management (TBM) and FinOps can help organizations align IT strategy with mission outcomes.
