Break Free from Spreadsheets Chaos: Transform IT Financial Management with Control, Transparency, and Confidence Still relying on spreadsheets to manage your IT budgets? You are not alone – but the risks are
significant: limited visibility, version control issues, restricted user access, and inaccurate forecasts.
M&G PLC faced these exact challenges—until they adopted IBM Apptio.
In this session, hear how M&G transitioned from reactive, spreadsheet-driven costing and planning to a strategic, low-risk, and collaborative approach to IT Financial Management.
They realized measurable benefits within months and continue to expand their ITFM capabilities.
Discover how M&G empowered finance, technology, and business leaders with real-time cost visibility, improved forecasting accuracy (reducing variance from 20% to just 3%), and full
control over labor, rate cards, and budget assumptions.
This approach also enables M&G to facilitate advanced capabilities like AI Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Product TCO, providing deeper insights for strategic decision-making.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Eliminate inefficiencies and risk from spreadsheet-based planning
- Improve forecasting accuracy and reduce budget variance
- Align finance, procurement, vendor management, and IT around shared data
- Drive cost transparency and better vendor oversight
Why attend? If your organization is burdened by manual budgeting, siloed planning, or limited insights into IT or vendor spend, this session will show you what’s possible — and how IBM Apptio can help you get there.
