IT Budgeting and Planning

Accurate and fact-based planning

IT planning can be tough with many moving parts and unclear parameters. Our IT Cost Management can help IT, finance and the business units who use IT with:

• Actual historically based unit cost for every IT service and cost driver, allows IT plans to be based in reality.
• Actual historically based specific usage metrics allows accurate demand forecasting of IT services and underling drivers for specific business units, locations, product lines, and services based on past reality.

• Demand and driver calculator is a sophisticated calculator that takes the historically calculated unit cost and usage metrics plus general information and business goals to automatically produce a proposed IT budget.

  This calculator not only proposes a budget for the top level of IT services, P&L, and locations, it also takes advantage of the cost models in the Digital Fuel system to propose a detailed budget for the IT cost drivers based on business goals.
