Reporting and Creating a Bill of IT

Reporting and communicating IT costs are important both internally to IT and externally to business units. Reports should be customized to their audience, and this webinar shows many of the types of reports that are common and useful. For external reporting to business units, the Bill of IT is discussed, including such elements as:

• Product cost distribution, by platform
• Budgeted vs. actual consumption
• Trends
• Total cost of application views

But how does an IT organization get started? Take a look at a case study at a Large Bank, who had gone through many mergers with disparate systems, poor data and mistrust of IT. Using Apptio's Service Costing and Bill of IT, this IT organization transformed from the "Dark Ages" to "Enlightenment." They were able to validate data, create rates for consumption and create defensible reports – dashboards for internal IT and monthly line-of-business drilldown reports (Bill of IT) for 200 external users. This achieved their goals of consolidating infrastructure, reducing costs and lowering consumption.

The webinar concludes with other uses for Bill of IT, such as:

• Potential Savings Reports
• Manager and Employee Reports
• Utilization Reports

This is the sixth webinar in the 2011 series, "Understanding and Leveraging IT Financial Transparency to Improve Business Alignment." Join experts from SteelGlass Consulting, leaders in IT transparency professional services, for this complimentary educational webinar series brought to you by Apptio.
