ServiceNow Integration
The enterprise data and business processes in IT service management are often used for critical data insights and actions in Technology Business Management and FinOps. Not surprisingly, many customers want the Apptio and ServiceNow platforms to integrate more easily to share and automate key data insights and actions. Apptio today announced two new integrations with ServiceNow that deliver unparalleled visibility and analytics to joint customers.
- Bi-Directional Data Flow: ApptioOne technology costing data can now flow back into ServiceNow. This integration brings the fully burdened cost structure of applications to other ServiceNow data, combining operational and financial metrics into one view.
- FinOps Automated Workflow Management: Apptio also announced new Cloudability integration with ServiceNow, enabling end-to-end workflow management of rightsizing recommendations in public clouds. This allows customers to automate workflows for cost saving opportunities identified in Cloudability with tickets created and assigned to the relevant engineers in ServiceNow.
Extended Multi-Cloud Support
As organizations seek a more unified and consistent view of their costs and usage across cloud providers, Apptio has added support for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in its Cloudability platform. This gives Apptio partners more flexibility in their marketplace offerings, allowing their customers to manage spend in these platforms alongside Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Apptio plans to extend support to IBM Cloud in 2024.
Cloudability MSP
Apptio is announcing the beta availability of its new set of Cloudability MSP services. Cloudability MSP gives managed service providers a powerful billing portal for customer cloud invoicing and unified cost visibility across the major public clouds with interactive features that enable teams to own and optimize their cloud spend. End customers receive direct access to the market-leading cloud cost management capabilities of Cloudability while being able to work with their preferred service provider.
Targetprocess Solutions Library for Partners
Apptio is opening its Targetprocess solutions library to partners, allowing them to create, share and deploy new or customized solution templates in Targetprocess. With general availability planned for 2024, this enables partners to better serve their customers with differentiated or fit-to-purpose solutions, resulting in higher customer satisfaction and faster time to value. The Targetprocess library is an out-of-the-box toolset that enables organizations to rapidly configure, implement, and customize deployments.
