IBM’s acquisition of Apptio can shine if IBM Software and IBM Consulting work together to deliver cost-managed innovation at speed
HFS believes this is a good deal for both IBM and Apptio. IBM didn’t have much spend data; therefore, there is little overlap in terms of products. The ambition is bold. But the Holy Grail of operations is having an operational single pane of glass that includes automation and AI.

Conversely, Apptio had hit a sales plateau as it struggled to scale its sales reach. Getting $4.6bn for hitting a plateau is too good an opportunity to turn down. Read More

However, rather than basing a deal's value on tangible cost takeout from onshore–offshore employee displacement, firms like Danske have to look to other metrics to justify the cost. Those metrics are tied firmly to the technology and talent (aka “digital”) capabilities Infosys can bring to the table to make Danske a more innovative, efficient, competitive—and ultimately profitable bank.
