Description |
The spending frenzy of the 90s is over. IT departments face increasing equipment costs and tighter budgets. But even as priorities shift, managers are budgeting a large percentage of capital expenses for IT. With such high visibility, the pressure is on IT to accomplish more tasks with less money.
While IT is doing more with less, business managers are demanding justification for every dollar spent and a corresponding return on investment from each line of business. Now more than ever, IT managers are being asked to practice IT governance and achieve financial transparency that identifies, quantifies, measures and communicates the costs and benefits of every service.
Delivering IT performance management and IT capacity management
SAS IT Value Management provides a single cohesive system that analyzes IT in terms of financial cost, business value and operational efficiency. You can measure the quality of services delivered to each line of business and communicate their value across the enterprise. Quantify the true contribution of IT and justify its function as a core strategic enterprise service. Measure the quality of services delivered to each line of business and satisfy demands from customers, partners and suppliers for performance while balancing costs.
Most importantly, SAS IT Value Management helps you align IT services with corporate, operational budgetary goals and ensure they support business strategy.
This end-to-end solution captures network, application, and server resource metrics, feeds it into a customized framework that builds process intelligence, calculates performance measures, produces a scorecard, determines resource requirements and generates defendable cost recovery invoices. Robust OLAP reporting lets you drill into data to perform root cause analysis. An executive dashboard surfaces key performance indicators for additional analysis and provides results that can be acted upon.
