AI is evolving fast, and so are expectations for business value and ROI as leaders balance investing in new technologies and scaling existing programs. But sprawling pilot projects, complex cost drivers, and unclear definitions of value make it difficult for leaders to understand what they’re spending and the business value being delivered. To successfully navigate this critical transition to an AI-first enterprise, leaders need strategies for scalable AI cost and value management.

Join Apptio and IDC Vice President Jevin Jensen for an actionable discussion on the changing economics of AI and the frameworks organizations need to separate AI scale from AI sprawl. Learn how leading enterprises are gaining visibility into AI total cost of ownership (TCO), understanding AI economics, and making smarter investment decisions based on measurable business outcomes.

Explore:
  • A practical framework for evaluating AI costs, impact, and business value
  • Why AI ROI expectations are changing and what that means for business leaders
  • How to distinguish productive AI scale from costly AI sprawl
  • The emergence of Tokenomics and how smarter consumption visibility and governance help to control costs
  • How to achieve comprehensive visibility into AI TCO, including tokens, GPUS, vendors, labor, and data centers
