IBM Rolls Out Tool to Track AI Spending and Business Results

IBM has introduced Apptio AI Value & ROI to help technology and finance executives track AI initiatives across revenue, cost, speed, productivity, and risk. This new set of capabilities connects AI spending, including token costs, to measurable business outcomes.

The tool centralizes AI initiatives and tracks metrics across various categories, providing visibility into the connection between AI investments and business results. IBM Cloudability provides visibility and attribution of token spend, while Apptio AI Value & ROI connects that spend to business outcomes.

According to Gartner, 84% of finance leaders have not been able to measure the ROI of AI initiatives. This highlights the need for a governed, repeatable approach to measuring AI value and informing investment decisions.
