Stop guessing where your AI and cloud budget is going

As AI scales across the enterprise, the way organizations manage technology spend is fundamentally changing.

In this IBM Technology Summit episode, industry experts Bill Lobig, VP of IBM® Apptio®; Philip Alfano, Field CTO, Apptio; and Jason Hargenrader, GM of IT Services, Infrastructure & Cyber at Treasury Wine Estates, explained why AI workloads behave differently from traditional cloud. While AI offers significant benefits, it can also accelerate cost growth, fragment teams and make business value harder to track.

They explored how financial intelligence and FinOps help organizations adapt by connecting spend to outcomes, improving collaboration across teams and enabling faster, better decisions. The session also showed how IBM Cloudability® delivers real-time insights, predictive forecasting and built-in governance—helping teams identify cost drivers earlier and align investments with business priorities.

Watch the on-demand episode to see how leading organizations apply FinOps to AI to increase visibility, strengthen accountability and turn complex AI and cloud spend into measurable business value.
