Licensing Requirements & Dependencies
Creation of reports that include a defining characteristic of another module requires a license to that other module. Please see the following
page for specific examples intended to provide clarity around the differences between the Apptio Cost Transparency modules and Apptio
Business Insights modules.
Module
Defining Characteristic
Report Example
Apptio Cost Transparency Foundation
• Any IT Costs
• Total Cost of All Servers
Apptio Cost Transparency Applications & Services
• Cost of Individual Applications or Services

• Cost of Mfg. Division
Apptio Infrastructure Insights
• Non-Cost Metrics
• Utilization of Capacity
• Cost of Unallocated vs. Allocated vs. Used
Storage

• Performance: % of Servers Virtualized
• Quality: Cost by Average Age of Servers
• Power: Cost per KWh Used
Apptio Application Insights

• Infrastructure Utilization by Application
• Cost of Unused Licenses
Apptio Bill of IT
• Apptio User Logins for BU Employees
• Price* Quantity-based, Plan-based, or Hybrid Bill
• Cost Recovery or Revenue
• Budget Remaining per BU
Apptio IT Planning Foundation
• Create Budgets or Forecasts
Further, each Apptio module is pre-loaded with standard application elements, such as a pre-defined cost model, taxonomy, data model, and
reports. The majority of these elements may be configured or extended at the Subscriber’s election without requiring the customization of the
module. If a Subscriber would like to make customizations, they must subscribe to an additional Custom Model Add-On for that module (in
addition, possibly incurring additional Professional Service fees both upon deployment and perhaps upgrades). The following pages provide
further clarity on what is and is not a “customization” for purposes of determining whether the Add-On is required or not.
Lastly, in certain exceptionally large deployments, our Subscribers require more than 1,000 users or 1TB of source data to support the
optimal functioning of the Application Domain. Apptio will notify any Subscriber that exceeds this amount and discuss with them strategies
for reduction of compute consumption. If actual usage exceeds these levels Apptio may require at its discretion that Subscriber subscribe to a
Capacity Add-On for its Application Domain.

Cost Transparency vs. Business Insights Reporting
Each application and module provides distinct rights to perform certain types of reporting or analysis as highlighted generally below. For
illustration, Apptio Cost Transparency Foundation permits a fully loaded cost view of a service category and insight into the cost drivers (e.g.,
TCO of storage or applications), as well as an average unit cost view. Apptio Cost Transparency Applications & Services empowers a deeper view
into those fully loaded costs by enabling a per-application and per-service reporting perspective (e.g., TCO of applications in the service library).
Additionally, the user may better demonstrate efficiency, justify investment, or accelerate decisions through use of the Apptio Business Insights
applications. Business Insights unlocks a reporting view into breakouts by individual asset (e.g., by specific Server ID number), the relationship
of the asset to other services and utilization (e.g., the relative cost impact of the utilization of that asset, and the relative burden of such asset
on related cost drivers, such as storage), and by attribute (e.g., analyze server cost by class/tier or even OS type). The following is a partial
list provided to better understand the value and differences of the reporting capabilities between and amongst the Cost Transparency and
Business Insights modules and applications.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of common actions taken by Subscribers with respect to the Application elements with guidance as to
whether such action is a “customization” requiring subscription to the Custom Add-On or not.

As is likely provided in your agreement with Apptio, “Annual IT Spend Under Management” is the total annual operating expenses managed by
the Apptio TBM solution during the applicable twelve (12) month period.
The following is provided to better clarify how operating expenses are calculated. “Operating expenses” (OpEx) means all amounts
characterized as expenses by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These
are expenses that are represented on a company’s income statement (not balance sheet) in a given period. It excludes capital purchases made
during the period but includes the in-period depreciation and amortization related to capital purchases made in current or prior periods. For
example, if a company’s annual IT OpEx (inclusive of depreciation and amortization) are $100M, and $25M of capital purchases were made
during the period, only the $100M of OpEx are captured in our calculation of spend under management. OpEx and capital expenses will not be
added together.
