ClearCost is a Cost Management system for IT and other internal support groups. ClearCost delivers transparency over costs through a model linking the G/L with services and demand.
ClearCost ties together the Service Financial Management processes of IT groups and presents unique and highly relevant analysis on all aspects of the IT investment. ClearCost comprises modules to address each of the following:
- includes operating, capital and headcount budgeting (alternatively supports import or export to/from corporate budgeting systems).
- through Activity Based Costing, map budgeted resources/external costs & indirects to activities performed and capacity generated.
- business view of what IT delivers including service unit pricing, underpinned by the Activity Catalogue.
- ties budgeted usage to budgeted services.
- operational view of physical (or virtual) assets, their capacity and what services depend on those. A simple CMDB or mapped to your existing CMDB.
- contractual arrangements and management of those, (eg Maintenance or Lease contracts), linked to budget and to assets where relevant.
....all delivered in an easy to use form that the IT manager/professional can understand and use, while being built on a foundation of strong, defensible financial practices.
Specialising in the I.T. area but equally at home in Finance, HR or Facilities, this multi-user tool provides transparency of costs by linking budgeted and reforecast spend to delivered services within the organisation.
Features of ClearCost include:
- major time savings on budgeting effort
- G/L and IT CMDB integrations
- service rate cards, financial budget outputs, comparative/benchmark analysis
- underpins ITIL implementations with solid financial mapping to services and processes
- extensive reporting and export functions
ClearCost embeds a commercial financial framework across service management and delivery processes.
