IT Budgeting: Save time planning costs

Let this feature help you plan your IT budget for the coming fiscal year along with coordinating with everyone involved in the planning process. Use the tool to directly manage cost centers, cost units, personnel costs, depreciation items, and costs tied up in existing contracts or automatically transfer them from your ERP system. Map different plan scenarios by saving and comparing several budget plans with each other.

IT Calculation: Determine service unit costs the easy way

Rely on the calculation feature to determine your IT services’ unit costs on the basis of purchase quantities, budgets, and service models from the service design. You show your service customers exactly which items comprise the service costs and create a solid basis for cost benchmarking. Use this solution to: ​​​​​

  • Determine resources, including hardware, software, personnel, external services

IT Service Cost Allocation: Charge IT services how they’re used

Charge IT services according to planned or actual consumption with this feature, which retrieved the cost, price, and consumption data from the service catalog or imports it from external systems. The features give you access to standard collectors for a variety of sources such as host, databases, ERP systems, telephony, and cloud providers. Adapt the allocation process to your individual model — from a simple allocation method using a service flat rate to complex consumption-based service charges. Our solution calculates:

  • Actual service consumption by the respective business units or customers
  • Service costs per service and per business unit or customer
  • Bill of IT — proof of performance and reporting for the individual areas
