    We are thrilled to announce the general availability of IBM Apptio Billing Essentials and the IBM Apptio Essentials suite-a landmark achievement for IBM Apptio. This release marks a significant step in our mission to deliver comprehensive IT Financial Management (ITFM) solutions that meet organizations where they are, whether they're just getting started or looking to take their ITFM practices to the next level. 

    What's New? 

    IBM Apptio Billing Essentials completes our Essentials suite and offers foundational billing capabilities for organizations that are new to chargeback or only need basic billing for certain IT services. Key features include: 

    • Simple chargeback: Generate and send monthly bills for IT services consumed by business units 

    • Simplified billing methodology: Bill based on unit price and consumption volume (PxQ) 

    • Easy reconciliation and adjustments: Easily make changes to current period bills 

    • Basic compliance and audit support: Reconcile and export chargeback journal entries to your financial system 

    With Apptio Billing Essentials, IT leaders can move away from manual billing processes, increase efficiency, and improve the credibility of IT teams by demonstrating the value of IT to the business. 

     

    With the IBM Apptio Essentials, you gain the full stack of foundational Essentials solutions for Costing, Planning, Billing and Benchmarking (as part of Costing Essentials), designed to deliver value quickly and without the need for a dedicated TBM office or complex onboarding.  

    These solutions are tailored for organizations with smaller budgets or those new to ITFM. These solutions provide the clarity and insights you need to make proactive, data-driven decisions. You'll better understand your IT costs, align IT investments with business priorities, and ultimately deliver more value to your organization. 

    With the inclusion of Turnkey Admin Services (TAS) with IBM Apptio Essentials, you'll benefit from seamless onboarding, continuous maintenance, and month-end close processes, making it even easier for your team to see the value of ITFM. 

     

    Additionally, the following product have been renamed in this release: 

    • IBM Apptio Billing has been renamed to IBM Apptio Billing Standard 

    • IBM Apptio Costing & Planning has been renamed to IBM Apptio Costing & Planning Standard 

    There are no feature/functionality changes for Billing and Costing & Planning customers.
