Technology business management software firm Apptio is planning an IPO with an initial raise of $75m.
The US based software developer filed a prospectus with Nasdaq.
Apptio helps firms manage IT spend through solutions which provide insight and management on hardware, software cloud expenditure through visibility and analytics.
The firm said: “Our cloud-based platform and SaaS applications enable IT leaders to analyze, optimize and plan technology investments, and to benchmark their financial and operational performance against peers. We empower IT leaders to transform IT into a service provider, to navigate the cloud transition, and to shift technology resources to drive more business innovation. Our TBM solutions consist of a powerful, cloud-based platform and a suite of SaaS applications: Cost Transparency, IT Benchmarking, Business Insights, Bill of IT and IT Planning. Our data and analytics platform leverages proprietary modeling capabilities, powerful self-service analytics and planning workflows to enable customers to make actionable, data-driven strategic and operational decisions.”
The firm has revenues of around $150m.
Apptio is seeking to develop Technology Business Management standards through the Technology Business Management Council.
Its stated goal is to empower CIOs to optimise IT investments through its cloud based platforms.
“Our platform automatically aggregates, cleanses and establishes relationships across large amounts of customer data from disparate sources and maps the data into our standard IT operating model. Our solutions are the business system of record for our customers’ IT organizations. We offer our solutions on a subscription basis, with subscription fees based on spend managed by our applications and the number of applications or capabilities for which the customer has subscribed. Our customers’ annual IT spend ranges from less than $10 million to billions of dollars,” it said.
