Apptio

Apptio is a provider of SaaS-based Technology Business Management (TBM) solutions for managing businesses in the IT field. In practice that means turning data into dashboards and reports people actually read.

Who is it for? Mostly analysts and leadership teams. They also list Analytics and Business Process Automation (BPA), so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a large product team themselves (1,001 to 5,000 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Bigger vendor, more process. Budget time for procurement.

Apptio is based in Bellevue, Washington and founded in 2007. You can read more at apptio.com.

Things worth asking about: data connectors, modeling layer, and viewer pricing. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.
