Custom Modeling Tool to Manage IT as a Service Business
Agile – Customized data models that can adapt to the customer's data needs, enabling a high degree of granularity, analytical capabilities, and the flexibility to rework the model when needed
Cheaper – low infrastructure and implementation costs
Faster – Designers can immediately work on loading, aligning, smoothing and integrating model input without the need for programmers or complex infrastructure
Better quality – In depth service modeling capabilities, designed around specific customer needs, to drill down through the Service Portfolio to detailed assets and resources
What We Do – we build sophisticated IT service-based cost models using the ITin3D© cost modeling tool
Make better IT Business Decisions – expanded understanding of the IT service business expressed in financial terms enables fact based decisions
Understand &Optimize IT Cost/Value – each service can be better managed by clearly defining its fully loaded cost, its impact upon the business and the achievement of service targets
IT Budgets aligned with Business Strategy – ability to project costs forward from a baseline based upon predicted cost drivers, can be used for budgeting, strategic planning, or scenario analysis
Any Modeling Problem – not just IT Financial Management – any data analysis can be accomplished using the ITin3D© model
IT Service Portfolio Design and Management Consulting for Reporting strategy – we work closely with customers to define, refine, and solidify their IT Service Portfolio
IT Service Cost Accumulation Model – consolidate IT time reporting, IT expenses, IT fixed assets, and other related data into a unified service based cost model
IT Service Cost Distribution Model – allocate the direct costs of the IT service portfolio to the business services that consume the technical services. These business services can then be distributed to the IT customers who consume the service, Showback or Chargeback.
IT Scenario Manager-Forward Looking Model – forecast costs forward based on various scenario options and cost drivers
IT Dashboards and Data Analytics – perfectly formed tables of IT cost information that can be loaded into any BI tool to produce in-depth data analytics and presentations
Ongoing IT Cost Data Accuracy Improvement – continuously improve cost data allowing greater agility and flexibility
" ITin3D© enabled us to move from traditionally rolled up view of IT Financial Cost to being able to analyze detailed IT Service Costs for service owners and sum up to logical summaries which could be presented to senior management in meaningful ways for decision making. Impact of decision making could be understood with respect to fully loaded service costs, unit costs, demand/consumption of IT services. Lastly, senior management was able to understand costs in terms of IT contribution to the business. The deeper perspective of understanding for all stakeholders helped change the dialogue from an overhead cost to a business value creation discussion. ITin3D© 's excellent consulting services were an enabler to the above and very flexible in the development of the Cost/Consumption Model." — KM
" ITin3D© enabled us to obtain cost transparency for IT Service costs and begin to manage IT as a true business. Through the ITin3D© model we were able to make much more informed IT investment decisions, make substantial progress in optimizing IT costs/value, and communicate the value of IT services in business terms. The capability to link IT costs directly to business decisions and business demand for IT services, makes it possible to have a productive discussion with the business about IT value and the impact of business decisions on their IT costs." — GC
"We had to consolidate IT across a large global organization and used ITin3D© to quickly consolidate data from around the world into a very detailed unified service based model. We then used ITin3D© to help us globalize some enterprise IT services and redesign the world-wide labor sourcing model. This was all done very quickly with excellent data quality." — BN
"For a State's largest agency, the ITin3D© model was most successfully used after implementing a new VoiP system with total costs approaching $100M. The financial model allowed us to create and manage cost pools, to allocate and recover costs through chargeback, and to provide financial predictability through long-term models." — PL
