Features of Serviceware Financial
The Serviceware Digital Value Model (DVM) is an enhanced cost model that includes best practice tables for data-mapping and effective reporting options. In summary, DVM helps you increase cost transparency and reduce costs. Especially in the area of cloud economics, the model helps avoid the typical ‘cloud-bill shock’ caused by uncontrolled, hidden SaaS adoption. It also supports the transformation of IT to an agile, product-oriented approach, through increased automation in service planning and provisioning.
New approval and job monitoring enhancements meet the need for coordinated, cross-responsibility planning processes.
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.
The latest version of Serviceware Financial, 6.3, offers Cloud Cost Management, enabling clients to keep track of both on-premises and cloud costs to help them monitor, control, plan and optimize all cost items in one application. This enables them to significantly reduce their cloud costs. It also provides seamless integration with VMware Aria CostTM powered by CloudHealth®, supporting all major public cloud vendors.
