Apptio has partnered with KPMG Singapore to help enterprises manage technology spend.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apptio<\/a>, a leading provider of technology business management (TBM) solutions that help organizations analyze, optimize and plan technology spend, has entered into a strategic partnership with KPMG Singapore to help enterprises manage technology spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership will benefit enterprises that want to digitize highly complex and manual processes to achieve enhanced efficiency and greater transparency into their IT costs across all business units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe role of the CIO has evolved to that of a strategic partner to the business and managing costs is a key part of that role,\u201d said Juvanus Tjandra, Partner at KPMG in Singapore. \u201c<\/strong>Yet enterprises often lack oversight into the minutiae of IT spend, how it correlates to the services delivered, or how to derive value from IT services. Our partnership with Apptio has helped businesses make informed decisions and better optimize their technology investments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apptio found that many enterprises feel pressure to reduce IT spend, with as many as 63% of those surveyed stating that they need new IT capabilities and better financial management to optimize their costs and make better strategic decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While KPMG provides strategic counsel on cost flow management across an organization\u2019s IT infrastructure, together with Apptio\u2019s solutions, an enterprise can build a digitally \u2018fit\u2019 organization to manage technology costs and implement digital-first strategies through the implementation of the Technology Business Management (TBM) framework, which provides technology and business leaders with the transparency and actionable insights needed to drive business value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, a multibillion dollar vertically integrated engineering group, whose business units cover aerospace, electronics, land systems and marine sectors, engaged KPMG for strategic counsel and implemented Apptio\u2019s solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Government-linked corporation (GLC) wanted to digitize their highly complex and manual IT chargeback process, so KPMG worked with Apptio to analyze the existing business structure and chargeback rules set for 20,000 global employees, who work in 100 subsidiaries and associated companies spread across 24 countries. Together, they configured the conglomerate\u2019s existing systems to match how consumption of services, budgeted consumption, trend reporting and variance analysis would be managed in a digital sense, before overseeing the implementation of the digital system of chargeback management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor more than a decade, Apptio has enabled leading enterprises to get a real-time, fully cost view of all their technology investments,\u201d said Owen Gan, Regional Vice President of Southeast Asia, Apptio. \u201c<\/strong>Ensuring these investments are defendable and fully aligned to business goals has never been more crucial. The criticality of technology planning is compounded with the explosion of cloud computing and lean-agile innovative practices. Our partnership with KPMG enables enterprises in the region to fully leverage the value of the cloud and modern development practices to minimize costs and differentiate their businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe TBM framework with Apptio\u2019s solutions combine to help CIOs build trust within their teams, organization and customers,\u201d said Craig Wishart, CIO, KPMG Australia and Head of ASPAC Technology Services Group at KPMG and Executive Advisory Board Member for the TBM Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCredibility is strengthened through service cost and investment transparency. More than ever, technology and business leaders have to traverse technology, operations and finance with confidence and thus with Apptio. IT leaders can build a clear path with well understood T&Cs \u2013 that is, trust and credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
