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. A major theme of the event was the increasing urgency for agencies to adapt to mandates like the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE aims to drive greater accountability and efficiency in government spending, requiring agencies to demonstrate clear value from their technology investments. Apptio’s TBM and FinOps-based approach stood out as a key enabler for gaining visibility into cloud spending, identifying automation opportunities, and proactively preparing for audits.
