application Announced that its first certified solution is available for Serve the store immediatelyThe integration with ServiceNow enables users to understand the technology cost structure of their organization in near real time. By combining ServiceNow’s best-in-class operational data with industry-leading Apptio software for IT cost modeling, IT managers can make informed investment decisions faster.

Nowadays, in a rapidly changing market, business decision makers must deal with challenges well and maximize investment. However, according to recent research by Harvard Business Review, many people have found that there is a clear gap between the importance of data and trust data when making budget decisions. Making quick decisions based on this data means solving the most complex challenge in IT financial management: understanding the type and overall cost of technology investments and measuring the return on those investments.

Apptio solves this problem with ServiceNow’s ability to automatically detect changes in IT assets and their interrelationships. This information enables Apptio to create detailed and accurate cost models that can be automatically updated at the same speed as business changes: Apptio and ServiceNow customers can now rely on the immediacy and reliability of data.

Among Apptio’s ServiceNow connectors, there are seven that can be used as authentication solutions in the ServiceNow store to pass information to Apptio, and a new connector publishes data to the ServiceNow dashboard. The inbound connector maps the ServiceNow data set directly to ApptioOne, which allows you to model costs based on consumption data to show reliable, timely, and accurate total cost of ownership. The egress connector then sends the integrated application TCO data from Apptio to the local ServiceNow dashboard, providing visibility to stakeholders across the enterprise. This new level of two-way integration allows users to view not only the operational data and metrics of key applications, but also the overall and constantly updated cost structure.
