Greg Holmes, field CTO at IBM-owned Apptio, explains why AI's consumption-based pricing is forcing organisations to rethink ROI, and outlines how CIOs can avoid AI bill shock.
AI's pricing model has changed, and many IT leaders - and business executives - have been caught flatfooted. In this episode Greg Holmes, field CTO at Apptio, an IBM company, discusses the changing economics of enterprise technology. From AI spending and consumption-based pricing to FinOps and value measurement, he explains why CIOs can no longer treat ROI as a one-time exercise. Instead, they need continuous visibility into both costs and outcomes.
As well as costs, governance and sovereignty, Greg also discusses the growing importance of Chief AI Officers and the skills technology leaders will need to develop as AI becomes embedded across the enterprise.
