We transform raw, messy IT cost data into a clean, structured, decision-ready TBM model aligned to industry-standard ATUM taxonomy. Give your CFO and CIO the financial clarity they need to make smarter technology investments.
Technology Business Management (TBM) is a globally recognised framework that helps organisations understand the cost, quality, and value of the technology services they consume and deliver.
TBM bridges the gap between IT and Finance by providing a common vocabulary, standard cost taxonomy, and structured allocation model - so every stakeholder can have an informed, evidence-based conversation about IT spend.
TBM is governed by the TBM Council and codified in the Apptio Unified Taxonomy Model (ATUM) - the global standard for IT cost transparency adopted by thousands of enterprises worldwide.
Labor, Software, Hardware, Telecom, Facilities, and External Services.
Compute, Storage, Network, End User, and IT Management.
Business units, departments, products, and projects.
Without proper TBM data curation, even the best tools give you noisy, untrustworthy data. Here's what we see - and how we fix it.
Our TBM practice is built around three core service pillars - each designed to give your organisation a deeper level of financial control over your technology investment.
We map raw General Ledger, CMDB, contract, and HR data precisely to the ATUM taxonomy. Every cost gets a home. Every IT tower gets fully populated.
We build the allocation rules, drivers, and models that flow IT costs all the way from infrastructure to the business units, departments, or products that consume them.
We bring FinOps discipline to AWS, Azure, and GCP environments with TBM-aligned cost governance.
Certified Apptio expertise - from greenfield implementations to rescuing struggling existing deployments.
Executive-ready dashboards and operational reports from board-level summaries to drill-down operational views.
Structured training programmes for IT Finance teams so they can own and operate the model confidently.
A structured, repeatable process that takes your organisation from data chaos to full cost transparency - in as little as 90 days.
We audit GL, CMDB, HR, contracts, cloud billing, and every relevant data source to identify what exists, what is missing, and what quality issues need resolving.
We cleanse duplicates, resolve inconsistencies, normalise naming conventions, and validate completeness before modelling begins.
We map costs, resources, towers, applications, and services to a defensible model aligned to the ATUM taxonomy.
We define and validate allocation rules and cost drivers that explain how technology is consumed throughout the business.
We deliver clear reporting, enable your team, and support continuous improvement as your estate evolves.
Discovery, source mapping, and data-quality assessment.
Cleansing, normalisation, and ATUM mapping.
Allocation model design and validation.
Reporting, handover, training, and optimisation plan.
For organisations with accessible source data, we can typically deliver a first trusted model in approximately 90 days.
Our models are designed to connect with the systems that already hold your financial, operational, and cloud-cost data.
TBM data curation is the process of cleansing, normalising, classifying, and mapping IT financial and operational data into a trusted model aligned to the ATUM taxonomy.
For organisations with accessible source data, a first trusted TBM model can typically be delivered in about 90 days. The exact timeline depends on data quality and scope.
No. We can build the taxonomy, source mappings, allocation logic, and reporting foundation whether you are implementing Apptio, improving an existing deployment, or starting with another reporting environment.
Yes. Our FinOps service covers tagging strategy, cost allocation, waste identification, reserved-instance optimisation, and business-unit showback or chargeback.
