Technology Business Management (TBM) is a strategic discipline that connects technology investments to business outcomes. It helps IT leaders measure, manage, and optimize the cost, quality, and value of their technology services across the enterprise.
TBM provides a structured framework that brings together financial data, operational systems, and business context to create a common language between IT, finance, and executive leadership.
Before organizations can align IT investments with business goals, they need a clear, shared framework. TBM delivers this through four foundational principles that ensure transparency, accountability, and measurable impact.
In a landscape where technology drives business value, TBM ensures that every investment is purposeful, measurable, and strategically aligned.
Organizations adopting TBM are better equipped to:
TBM enables companies to measure the true impact of technology — not just what it costs, but what it delivers.
As IT organizations evolve toward cloud-native, agile, and product-centric models, TBM adapts to provide structure and financial clarity across these fast-moving environments. It brings consistency to how teams measure value, allocate costs, and prioritize investments in a landscape of constant change.
TBM helps unify these practices into a single financial and operational strategy.
While TBM sets the strategic framework for technology value management, organizations need practical tools to put those principles into action. CloudThrottle bridges that gap by delivering real-time controls and visibility that align cloud operations with TBM objectives.
