As an IBM Platinum Business Partner, Clear Technologies helps enterprises deploy and operationalize IBM Apptio, the Technology Business Management platform that turns IT spend into cost transparency your CFO can act on. We do more than resell licenses: we design your cost model, map spend to the applications and services that consume it, and make Apptio Costing and Planning the system of record for IT financial decisions. And because cloud is only part of the bill, we pair Apptio with Cloudability and Hybrid FinOps so finance sees the full estate, not a slice of it.
Our consultants stand up Apptio’s cost model, data ingestion, and reporting views in weeks, not the quarters teams typically lose building a TBM practice alone. You start answering cost questions sooner.
We build the cost model, mappings, and allocation rules that tie every dollar of IT spend, including hardware, software, labor, cloud, and services, to the business units that consume it. Showback and chargeback reflect reality.
Clear Technologies has run enterprise infrastructure and IT cost engagements for three decades. Your Apptio implementation inherits that depth, not a junior bench.
Apptio models the dollars. We add infrastructure-level visibility across on-prem and private environments through Hybrid FinOps, so cost accountability covers the entire estate.
Cost transparency only pays off when budget owners act on it. We operationalize monthly cost reviews, budget variance workflows, and planning cycles so Apptio drives decisions, not just dashboards.
One relationship for licensing, deployment, cost-model design, training, and ongoing optimization, backed by 30+ years of enterprise infrastructure experience. Not a hand-off to a support queue.
Tell us where IT cost visibility breaks down today. A Clear Technologies consultant will follow up within one business day.
You get the same platform plus an implementation partner who owns the outcome. We design the cost model, integrate your financial and operational data, train your teams, and extend visibility across hybrid infrastructure, work a license transaction does not include. One accountable relationship, faster time to value.
Apptio manages total IT spend through a Technology Business Management lens: hardware, software, labor, cloud, and services mapped to the applications and business units that consume them. Cloudability is the FinOps layer for public cloud billing detail. Many enterprises run both, and we implement both, connecting them so cloud detail rolls up into the full IT cost model.
Yes. Modeling on-prem cost is core to Apptio's TBM approach. Where teams need utilization-level detail underneath the dollars, we pair Apptio with Hybrid FinOps to bring on-prem and private infrastructure into the same accountability model as cloud.
It depends on data readiness: your GL structure, asset and labor data, and how granular your service costing needs to be. Typical initial cost-transparency builds deliver early reporting value within weeks and a working cost model within a few months. We scope it precisely before we start.
Cost model design, data integration from your GL, CMDB, and billing sources, allocation and showback setup, planning and budgeting configuration, team enablement, and ongoing optimization reviews. We can also connect cloud spend through Cloudability so it lands in the same model.
Yes. Apptio ingests cloud billing, and paired with Cloudability it adds rightsizing and commitment detail for AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, including GPU and AI platform spend. We configure the pairing so cloud and AI costs appear alongside the rest of IT, not in a separate silo.
