Accenture and Apptio announced that they are working with PPL Corporation to transform how the company prioritizes and manages technology spending--all in support of delivering safe, reliable, affordable, sustainable energy and a better customer experience. As part of this effort, Accenture is delivering a new technology financial management platform for PPL, powered by Apptio's solutions. This includes shifting to cloud-based infrastructure, expanding the use of AI, automation and advanced analytics and better integrating systems to support real-time decision-making.
By evolving its IT financial management tools into a scalable FinOps capability early in its IT transformation, PPL is improving visibility into hybrid cloud environments and investments, identifying efficiencies and accelerating innovation across its operations. Across industries, organizations are facing growing pressure to manage technology investments more effectively, while continuing to invest in technology that drives business value and growth. Traditional finance tools often fall short in tracking decentralized, usage-based technology spending.
Accenture's Pulse of Change research shows that 85% of C-suite leaders plan to increase technology spending this year, making financial discipline and transparency more important than ever. This work with PPL is supported by an expanded Accenture and Apptio business partnership focused on accelerating technology financial management adoption, specifically with clients in North America. The collaboration aims to help organizations advance financial operations maturity and reduce unnecessary technology costs.
Together, Accenture and Apptio will provide clients with integrated solutions and tools, such as the Accenture myNav FinOps Maturity Assessment, which helps organizations evaluate their FinOps capabilities. Accenture's strong alignment with Apptio has been key in earning Apptio's Americas ITFM Partner of the Year 2025 award. Accenture's experience in technology financial management builds on a consistent track record of innovation in the field, supported by the recent acquisition of Maryville and prior acquisitions of Advocate and Strongbow, as well as partnerships with ecosystem providers like Apptio.
