Add Additional Rightsizing ROI Metrics to ApptioBI Metrics

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Our end users would like their potential rightsizing savings and realized savings metrics added to their base ApptioBI reports. Since Cloudability has the Rightsizing ROI report trackingr realized savings, why can't the realized savings metric also be available in ApptioBI? Additionally, it would be nice to run some numbers as it realates to snoozed recommendations at a tag level rather than just filtering on snoozed recommendations in the Rightsizing tab.

    Hi Jamie, thanks for submitting this request. One of Apptio BI's primary goals is to serve as the unified reporting layer for all data across Apptio and Cloudability. We are committed to working with product teams to make their data available in Apptio BI.

    Currently, ROI data (e.g., realized savings) is not on the 2025 roadmap, but we've received similar requests from multiple customers, so there is potential for a shift in priorities. Also, maybe you can use a Calculated Metric in Apptio BI to view realized savings, e.g., take the difference between Cost (List) and Cost (Net Amortized).

    That said, we do plan to support snoozed recommendations this year.
