Become a strategic visionary

Redefine your role as a CIO

The journey of a CIO is laden with critical questions that demand insightful answers. How do I thrive on this digital transformation journey? How can I truly understand where our costs are distributed across the IT landscape? And perhaps most importantly, how can I unravel the enigma of translating these expenditures into tangible business value?

Overcome the hurdles of getting started

The implementation of an ITFM software might seem daunting, but it's akin to embarking on a well-guided expedition. With the right solution, you gain a roadmap tailored to your organization's needs, enabling you to transition smoothly into a data-driven approach. You'll discover newfound efficiencies as you automate processes, eliminate redundancies, and establish a clear hierarchy of costs.

Unravel the intricacies of cost distribution

Once you're on this journey, the fog surrounding cost distribution lifts. A sophisticated ITFM software empowers you to dive deep into your organization's IT spending, revealing insights that were once buried in spreadsheets and disparate systems. You can now pinpoint exactly where your financial resources are being allocated. This newfound visibility transforms a previously complex labyrinth of expenditures into a transparent and manageable landscape.

Link expenditures to tangible value creation

But the true magic of an ITFM software lies in its ability to illuminate the value these costs bring to the table. With its analytical prowess, you can bridge the gap between financial investments and their impact on the organization. Imagine being able to correlate IT spending with key business outcomes – accelerated product launches, enhanced customer experiences, or streamlined operations.


This capability elevates your role from a mere cost manager to a strategic visionary, armed with the insights needed to shape the financial trajectory of the company and steer your organization toward sustainable growth and success.

What's the difference

ITFM vs TBM

Technology Business Management (TBM) is an extension of IT Financial Management (ITFM) and was defined by the independent TBM Council. The goal of TBM is to make the value of all IT investments measurable and to record the costs transparently. This enables CIOs and CFOs to make a data-driven assessment of the value created by IT services and investments.

Serviceware has developed the Digital Value Model, based on the taxonomy of Technology Business Management (TBM), to save companies millions in IT costs. The complexity within ITFM is met with maximum transparency, a sophisticated steering logic, KPI, best practices and consulting services that drive digital value. Vast amounts of data can be processed in the Digital Value Cost Model, to accelerate digital transformation and bring efficiency, effectiveness and productivity through IT Financial Management.
