Getting the Cost Allocation of It Services Right and Driving Efficiencies With DRYiCE ROAR
Enterprise IT is responsible for continuous service availability across all lines of a business. While the IT team executes this daunting task effectively, the business divisions pay for those consumed services. Together with finance, IT determines accurate cost allocation across departmental cost centers based on data with respect to assets and configuration items used by each business line.
Are you able to allocate costs across departments accurately?
In today’s complex technological landscape, enterprises are faced with the prospect of maintaining accurate inventory of IT assets and configuration items that are in use across different departments of the organization. Despite having the best asset management solutions and maintenance of CMDB, the data is often inaccurate and invariably leads to multiple challenges like improper cost allocation, poor procurement planning, and missed maintenance schedules. Leading analysts have observed the following:
| On average, organizations use eight tools for inventorying assets | It usually takes 86 person-hours to generate an asset inventory from a combination of tools |
| 44% of organizations claim that their asset discovery tools don't support many of the connected devices | Only 55% of organizations can generate a comprehensive asset inventory monthly or more frequently |
