Executive Summary
The IRS TBM initiatives combine a technical administration activity includes a comprehensive TBM Roadmap to streamline cost transparency and optimize IT financial management. Leveraging the IBM Apptio Cost Transparency module integrated with the Treasury Apptio system and advanced automation like Generative AI, this unified approach enhances data analysis and resource management. Aligned with modernization goals, it standardizes processes and drives data-driven decision-making across the agency.
Challenge: The IRS faces significant challenges in achieving financial transparency and cost optimization due to disjointed TBM processes and the absence of a unified roadmap. Manual management of TBM reports—such as identifying and de-obligating excess funds—is inefficient and error-prone. These issues hinder strategic decision-making and impede alignment with the agency’s modernization goals.
Solution: The solution involves collaborating with IT executives, staff, and key stakeholders to integrate technical administration activities with a refined TBM Roadmap. It leverages the IBM Apptio Cost Transparency module and advanced automation tools like Generative AI, while implementing standardized processes to streamline TBM reporting and data analysis. This integrated approach delivers clear recommendations, continuous optimization, and improved financial management across the IRS.
