Where Deep Expertise Meets Integrated Technology Value
At It’s Value, we do not treat TBM as a standalone framework. We position it as the central value engine, powered by connected standards that bring structure, consistency, and clarity to technology data. By integrating ITFM, FinOps, and Strategic Portfolio Management, we create one unified model that strengthens decision-making across teams and business units.
This integrated approach delivers three essential advantages:
- Consistency: a shared language and taxonomy across the organization
- Data Integrity: structured, reliable input that supports stronger decisions
- Actionable Insight: technical data translated into financial and strategic value
As a result, organizations move beyond basic cost visibility. They gain the ability to answer meaningful, value-focused questions such as the true cost of an application or feature, how cloud investments compare with on‑premise environments, and which technology initiatives deliver measurable business value.
What is TBM?
Technology Business Management (TBM) is a value management framework that helps businesses integrate IT into their operating processes. It’s the discipline for managing IT as a business, designed and maintained by companies who are member of the worldwide TBM Council.
TBM consists of a Framework, a Model, a Taxonomy and Metrics to support data-driven decisions. Build and maintained by over 5.000 companies, it is viewed as the worldwide best practice for managing IT spend and performance.

TBM Framework
The TBM Framework shows the four types of Value conversations between IT and Finance from a Run and Change perspective:
- Cost for Performance
- Business-Aligned Portfolio
- Investment in Innovation
- Enterprise Agility
The value conversations support the ongoing IT operations and grow or transformation of the business.
TBM Model
The TBM Model gives a standardized cost flow model to support several IT-Finance processes:
- Calculate unit costs
- Cost price calculation
- Budgeting and Forecasting
- Service rate definition
- Show-back or Chargeback
The model supports the allocation of Infrastructure, Cloud, Application, Service and Project costs to fuel the above processes.
TBM Taxonomy
The TBM Taxonomy delivers a standardized view on your IT spend from different views:
- Financial View: how much are you spending on IT and on what cost categories, known as Cost Pools in the Taxonomy
- IT View: which IT assets are present, what are their (unit) costs and how are they combined into your IT services? The IT Tower standardization gives a continuous benchmark opportunity
- Business View: what and how many services are consumed? How to optimize the supply to the demand?

What is FinOps?
FinOps is a collaborative, operational practice that enables organizations to govern, manage, and optimize cloud and technology spending while maximizing business value. It brings together finance engineering, product, and business teams to make timely, data-driven decisions that balance cost, speed, and performance. FinOps is not just cloud cost control; it ensures cloud investments directly support strategic outcomes.
Why FinOps Matters
Cloud fundamentally changes how technology is consumed and paid for. Costs are no longer fixed, centrally procured, or predictable by default. Instead, they are variable, decentralized and driven by daily decisions made across engineering, IT and the business.
FinOps provides a structured way to manage this reality. It enables organizations to create transparency, assign accountability and make deliberate trade-offs between cost, performance, risk and business value.
For leadership, FinOps is not about tooling or cost cutting. It is about decision-making discipline in a variable cost environment.
