Technology Business Management

A management discipline that connects technology cost, consumption, and investment to business capabilities, services, and outcomes.

Why it matters

TBM matters in AI because it gives leaders a way to understand whether platform cost, model usage, and shared services are supporting business capabilities in an economically coherent way.

TBM is especially helpful when AI costs are dispersed across cloud, vendors, platforms, and functional teams. It provides a structure for turning that complexity into a decision-ready view.

For the broader domain, see TBM & AI.
