IBM Apptio, Turbonomic, Targetprocess, Instana, Cloudability, and Kubecost

Join Episode 1 of our TBM C-Suite Series featuring Wayne Kaplan, IBM Americas Sales Leader. This live LinkedIn webinar will explore how leading organizations are using TBM to improve IT cost transparency, reduce waste, and connect technology spend to business value. Learn practical ways to respond to cost pressure and improve ROI visibility across IT and finance. Register now to join the live session.

Quickly see where your PPM investment is creating value and where it’s falling short. The 321Gang PPM Value Assessment Calculator gives you a fast, data driven snapshot so you can prioritize what matters and drive better outcomes. Try it for instant clarity.

IBM Instana ranks #1 in the G2 Spring 2026 reports, a strong signal from real users that it delivers reliable, real time observability and faster issue resolution.

IBM Cloudability Advanced Containers combines Cloudability and Kubecost to bring Kubernetes cost visibility into FinOps, helping teams see, optimize, and manage container spend while aligning engineering and finance with real-time insights. Here>>>

AI cost transparency is even harder than Kubernetes because there is no shared model for ownership, usage, or pricing. Costs show up fast but lack context, making it difficult to track what is driving spend or how to control it. Read>>>
