The methodology that connects them is what makes the outcomes stick. [Explore Our Offerings](https://www.matternenergy.com/solutions#offerings) [Schedule a Call](https://www.matternenergy.com/discovery) [Home](https://www.matternenergy.com/) / Solutions [01 AI Adoption & Productivity Agentic workflows, AI governance, and measurable productivity — from pilot to enterprise production. →](https://www.matternenergy.com/solutions/ai-adoption-productivity) [02 Technology Value Management TBM-aligned cost visibility, planning, and value realization that IT and Finance both trust. →](https://www.matternenergy.com/it-financial-management) How We Work ## One delivery model *behind both offerings.* Agile execution, TBM standards and AI frameworks run every engagement, whichever offering you start with. [See how we deliver →](https://www.matternenergy.com/services) The Offerings ## Choose the entry point that matches where your organization has the most urgent need. Both connect to the same outcome. 01 — AI Adoption & Productivity ## From AI experimentation to *enterprise-wide intelligent automation.* Most programs have AI running somewhere. Few can show what it’s returning. We deploy intelligent automation using Agile delivery cycles and structured AI frameworks that move from pilot to production with defined productivity baselines, governance controls, and the financial accountability that makes every AI investment defensible. CIO / CTO CFO / Finance IT Director Program Manager Federal Agency CIO 01 **Agentic workflow design and deployment** — Autonomous AI agents designed for your operating environment, not a sandbox. Role-based adoption programs and enablement built in from sprint one. 02 **AI governance and risk frameworks** — Accountability controls, model monitoring, audit trails, and regulatory alignment built into architecture from day one. Not layered on afterward. 03 **Productivity measurement and ROI confirmation** — Baselines established before deployment, 30- and 90-day productivity reports produced on schedule, ROI documentation structured for board and finance review. 04 **SDLC acceleration** — AI-assisted software delivery across the full development lifecycle. Faster time-to-production, measurable quality improvements, and team capability uplift that persists after engagement close. [Explore AI Adoption & Productivity](https://www.matternenergy.com/solutions/ai-adoption-productivity) [Talk to Our Team](https://www.matternenergy.com/discovery) Outcomes 16% Of AI initiatives have scaled enterprise-wide, according to CEOs surveyed by IBM (2025). We are built to close that gap. 68% Of AI-first organizations report mature data and governance frameworks, vs. 32% of others (IBM). We build governance in from the first sprint. Agreed Measurement checkpoints: productivity measures and reporting milestones set in each SOW against an agreed baseline. Who it’s for CIO / CTO “We’ve run AI pilots. None are in production at scale. I need an execution model that actually lands.” CFO / Finance Leadership “AI spend is accelerating. I need ROI documentation that connects investment to a measurable return — before the next budget cycle.” Federal Agency CIO “Our AI deployment is outpacing our governance framework. I need both moving in parallel, within our contracting timeline.” 02 — Technology Value Management ## Full-spectrum visibility into what technology costs — *and what it delivers.* Technology Value Management is how we put Technology Business Management (TBM), the TBM Council's standard for managing technology as a business, to work, delivered through our Technology Spend Intelligence (TSI) solution. Technology budgets are complex, fragmented, and often invisible to the people who need to act on them. We apply TBM standards and Agile program management to connect every dollar of IT investment to a business outcome — giving finance and technology leadership a single model they can both trust and act on. CIO / CFO VP Finance IT Finance Director FinOps Lead IT Strategy Lead 01 **Cost visibility and taxonomy** — TBM-aligned cost model mapping every IT investment to business towers, services, and cost centers your stakeholders recognize. Ad-hoc cost questions answered from one validated model. 02 **Planning and forecasting** — A live planning model that updates when the business changes. What-if analysis without the spreadsheet chaos. 03 **Value realization** — Run / Grow / Transform allocation for strategic portfolio conversations. Every major initiative tracked against its business case. Promised returns tracked to delivery. 04 **Cloud cost optimization and FinOps** — Cloud spending brought into full financial context. Waste identified, rightsizing modeled, and optimization roadmap produced with finance-ready documentation. [Explore Technology Value Management](https://www.matternenergy.com/it-financial-management) [Talk to Our Team](https://www.matternenergy.com/discovery) Outcomes 21–50% Estimated cloud waste. In Stacklet's 2024 survey of 315 U.S. cloud professionals, 78% of respondents estimated that 21–50% of their organization's cloud spending was wasted. [Source: Stacklet, State of Cloud Usage Optimization 2024](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241008442795/en/New-Survey-Finds-Cloud-Waste-is-On-the-Rise---Driven-by-Preventable-Mistakes-Inefficiencies-and-New-AI-Initiatives). Respondents' estimates. Who it’s for CIO “I can’t answer a basic cost question without two weeks of analysis. I need visibility that’s always current.” CFO / VP Finance “IT and Finance are working from different numbers. I need a cost model we can both trust and defend to the board.” FinOps / IT Finance Lead “Cloud costs are growing faster than our visibility into them. I need a FinOps model with actual governance behind it.” Why Both ## The programs that deliver *durable outcomes* treat these as one problem. AI programs that lack financial visibility end up with governance gaps and ROI claims nobody believes. Technology Value Management programs without AI adoption frameworks stall in spreadsheet maintenance. The organizations that close the execution gap run both offerings together — because the data, the governance, and the measurement model are shared. Most engagements start with one offering. They deepen into the second because the connection becomes obvious once the first is working. ◎ Shared data model AI cost tracking requires the same cost taxonomy as TVM. When both run on TBM-aligned architecture, AI investment shows up in the IT portfolio alongside everything else — with the same allocation methodology and the same audit trail. ◈ Unified governance posture AI governance and IT financial governance answer to the same oversight bodies. Building them in parallel — rather than sequentially — means controls are aligned from the start, not reconciled after the fact. ⬡ ROI that finance will accept AI productivity returns are credible when they’re expressed in the same cost and value framework the business uses for every other technology investment. TVM provides that framework. AI delivers the numbers that go into it. Who We Work With ## The buyers who get the most from these offerings. CIO / CTO ### Accountable for both AI delivery and IT financial performance The CIO sits at the intersection of both offerings. AI adoption without financial visibility creates undefendable investment cases. Financial management without AI adoption frameworks means cost reporting that doesn’t connect to the transformation agenda. We help CIOs run both in a way that reinforces each other. AI Governance IT Portfolio Visibility Value Realization CFO / Finance Leadership ### Needs ROI documentation that holds up to scrutiny Finance leadership is increasingly in the room for AI investment decisions — and they arrive skeptical. We give CFOs and VPs of Finance a cost model they can trust, ROI frameworks for AI they can defend, and the methodology documentation required for board-level and audit scrutiny. TBM Cost Model AI ROI Framework Budget Governance IT Strategy / FinOps Lead ### Owns the programs that need to run on both rails simultaneously Strategy and FinOps leaders are often managing the day-to-day of both cloud cost optimization and emerging AI programs. We give them a single operating model — TBM taxonomy for cost, AI frameworks for automation — so neither program is running on a different methodology from the other. FinOps Cloud Cost Optimization Agentic Operations Federal Agency CIO / Program Manager ### Operating under fixed budget cycles and non-negotiable compliance Federal programs don’t have the luxury of iterating on governance post-deployment. We deliver both AI adoption and TVM for federal programs through the acquisition path the agency chooses — FITARA-aligned cost models, AI governance documentation that supports your agency's authorization decision, and Agile delivery structured for the oversight requirements that come with every federal engagement. FITARA Alignment ATO Documentation OTA Prototyping IT Director / VP Engineering ### Deploying AI across delivery teams while maintaining financial accountability Technical leaders deploying AI across software delivery teams need productivity measurement frameworks that connect to the business case — not just anecdotal velocity improvements. We establish the baselines, deploy agentic tooling, and produce the 30- and 90-day reports that make the productivity case credible to finance. SDLC Acceleration AI Productivity Developer Enablement Procurement / Contracting Officer ### Needs defensible scope, clear methodology, and a compliant acquisition path We structure engagements for procurement clarity — defined deliverables, measurable outcomes at each phase, and full methodology documentation. For federal programs, we support agency-selected acquisition paths, including FAR procurements, CSOs, prototype OTs and subcontracts, with scope structures designed for the compliance and oversight requirements that govern every award.
