Every Day Without TCO Transparency Costs You Real Money

Hidden infrastructure costs remain undiscovered for months, silently consuming the IT budget, whilst various tools deliver isolated data silos without overall visibility. IT expenditure cannot be allocated on a service basis – how can you make informed investment decisions? Manual effort for cost analyses ties up valuable resources urgently needed for strategic tasks.

 

Do you recognise these challenges?

 

  • Hidden infrastructure costs remain undiscovered
  • Isolated data silos without comprehensive overview
  • IT expenditure not allocatable on service basis
  • High manual effort binds resources

 

The critical question: 

 

Can you spontaneously quantify all connected licences and exact cost amounts for an IT service? If not, you're already missing significant savings potential today.

Total Cost of Ownership Dashboard Your Solution for Complete IT Cost Transparency

Our TCO Dashboard revolutionises how you understand and control IT costs. Unlike conventional financial reports, it provides deep insights into actual operating costs of each IT service. As an intelligent link between IT and finance, the dashboard consolidates various data sources that previously existed separately, systematically capturing all direct and indirect costs.

 

What our TCO approach delivers:

 

  • Complete cost capture across asset lifecycle
  • Systematically uncover hidden cost blocks
  • Service-based allocation for informed decisions
  • Immediate action areas in initial consultation

 

The result: 

 

Complete cost transparency with substantial cost savings whilst maintaining minimal effort for you.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Comprehensive Cost Analysis for IT Assets

TCO offers a comprehensive approach to evaluating the total cost of an IT asset or IT solution throughout its complete lifecycle. Rather than focusing solely on acquisition costs, TCO considers all direct and indirect costs associated with operation, maintenance, and ultimately decommissioning.

This approach is particularly important when:

 

  • You are under high cost pressure and need to identify realistic potential savings
  • Transparency is required for investment decisions or technology roadmaps
  • The connection between IT costs and IT services is unclear

 

Implementing a TCO model enables you to:

 

  • Gain complete transparency over all cost-effective factors
  • Achieve long-term planning reliability for IT investments

 

 

Without TCO analysis, there is a risk of poor decision-making in system implementations, excessive operating costs and uncontrolled cost development. Intero Consulting offers you a proven methodology to fully capture costs, structure them systematically and allocate them to IT services.
