Note Re New Releases and Upgrades: Apptio upgrades and new releases are comprised of new or different platform and/or application elements. The platform is the Apptio codebase that powers a set of features and capabilities, which allows the user to perform TBM tasks enabled by the application elements of the solution. The application elements are content, such as models, model objects, master data sets, and taxonomy that are often pre-defined but configurable on the platform. Apptio subscribers are entitled to receive all upgrades and product releases at no additional cost for products to which they have a current subscription. However, deployment of certain upgrades or releases to the application elements may require additional configuration and related work, for which subscribers may incur additional professional service fees. This is especially true where a subscriber s current instance contains customizations to the existing application elements. Page 8 of 7 Effective October 27, 2015
