Features of Serviceware Financial
One of Serviceware Financial's standout features is its ability to support and adjust your cost model's structure as needed. We can implement based on the TBM standard, your unique model, or a combination of both. If it's getting started with a new cost model, please be introduced to the Serviceware Digital Value Model (DVM®). The DVM approach merges TBM taxonomy and principles with proven best practices from over 20 years of experience working with large multi-national enterprises.
Serviceware Financial places special emphasis on interlocking different information levels between service information and financial information closely. These are presented clearly, to drive information-based decision-making further forward.
Approval and job monitoring enhancements meet the need for coordinated, cross-responsibility planning processes.
