Themed “Redefining IT Investments with Apptio,” the event convened C-level IT and Finance leaders to explore how IT Financial Management (ITFM) and FinOps are reshaping enterprise decision-making.

IBM Apptio Director – Solutions Consulting Eugene Tay delivered key insights on: ITFM for Business Value: Enhancing visibility into technology costs, aligning spend with business outcomes, and enabling smarter budgeting and FinOps as a Strategic Lever: Transforming cloud spend into a competitive advantage through cross-functional collaboration and financial accountability.

IBM Regional Director Vijay Balan joined DMS Software Technologies Director/CEO Lasantha Bogoda to spotlight DMS FinOps Services—a scalable support model tailored for Sri Lankan enterprises, powered by IBM Apptio’s proven platform.
