Apptio Tailors BI Software for the IT Department
by Alex Woodie
One of the problems with the way IT is managed at many shops is the lack of clarity into how much is spent, on everything from servers and software to salaries and electricity. While IT is very good at analyzing company-wide spending, when it comes to IT, things are usually tracked on messy spreadsheets or an in-house product somebody hacked together.

'We could have a tornado, a hurricane, or an airplane that lands prematurely,' he says. 'A 747 would make a real mess to try and recover records.' Thanks to the use of i365's online backup and recovery service, the county's property tax records would survive a calamity, even if the iSeries server on which they're stored does not. READ MORE >
