ROI vs. a comparable Apptio investment
How A Global Medical Technology Leader Replaced Apptio
A medtech enterprise operating in 190+ countries unified budgeting, billing, and cost modeling on the platform it already trusted.
The company was managing IT finance the hard way: budgeting in disconnected spreadsheets, billing running through Apptio and external vendors, and cost modeling with no unified hierarchy or governance.
Partnering with brightfin, they moved their entire ITFM practice onto ServiceNow in a phased, low-risk path — budgeting first, then billing, then cost modeling. No risky “big bang” transformation.
Billing was migrated off Apptio into one ServiceNow-native solution, surfacing cost-recovery gaps and feeding clean files straight into SAP. Today, IT and Finance work from the same real-time source of truth.
Why Are Organizations Leaving Apptio?
The market is evolving, and agility wins. Legacy systems like Apptio often create more friction than clarity: long deployments, disconnected data, and complex upkeep that delays value. CIOs and CFOs are choosing Brightfin because it delivers the same outcomes faster, cleaner, and natively within ServiceNow
