Before optimization can begin, achieving transparency over your IT assets and associated costs is essential. Many IT organizations struggle with fragmented data sources, inconsistent information, and reliance on Excel spreadsheets for demand planning, budgeting, and service cost calculations.
Additionally, the inability to show or charge back costs to their originators further complicates financial management. The rapid rise in cloud usage exacerbates these issues.
To tackle these challenges, it's crucial to leverage software tools that deliver comprehensive visibility and automate planning, forecasting, and cost allocation processes. We are here to help.
Companies are projected to spend $675 billion on cloud services in 2024. This often leads to risks like misjudging future costs, wasting cloud resources, neglecting ROI, and facing governance challenges. Cloud costs tend to rise steadily, while business outcomes struggle to keep pace.
To tackle these issues, businesses need better multi-cloud visibility, governance, automation, skills, and deep hyperscaler expertise.
USU offers a range of tools and services to support you in these areas.
Enterprises spend billions each year on on-premises software and SaaS, yet over half of these resources go unused—leading to significant waste. This happens for two main reasons: First, existing license entitlements and SaaS subscriptions are often overlooked when employees request new software. Second, expensive licenses and subscriptions are purchased when more affordable options would suffice.
To reduce software waste, you need tools that track actual usage and existing entitlements, helping you make data-driven decisions for future software sourcing.
USU provides the tools and services to help you do just that.
With USU IT Service Management, we succeeded in fully supporting our complex global IT controlling processes, bridging the gap between the technical and business worlds.
