What's the Problem?
Technology costs are large and poorly understood in many organizations. As CIOs look to create more agile organizations to provide greater value, they need strong and clear insights on their costs and how they support applications and business processes.
Major changes, such as shifting from on-premises to cloud computing, has unprecedented impact on cost structures. At the same time, large recurring costs for platforms, software and maintenance require new information and skills to manage and forecast.
Traditional charge-back models can allocate costs, but often fail to present data in actionable ways, and do not lend themselves to identify "go away" costs
There is a better way
Within Anaplan, our IT Financial Management App translates costs from traditional cost centers and accounts into measurement of costs by Tower, Service, Application and Business Capability. This mapping is done transparently using a driver-based model.The result is a clear measurement of costs at each level, including Total Cost of Ownership by Application. Use that data to reliably assess the costs that will "go away" if an application is moved from on-premises to cloud.
