IT Cost & Value Management
We develop comprehensive solutions for managing IT organizations, addressing various aspects such as benchmarking, KPIs & management dashboards, cloud FinOps, and value tracking, along with the entire spectrum of IT financial management.
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, IT managers face increasing challenges in maintaining visibility over their organization, services, costs, decisions, and their impacts. Achieving transparency to identify current areas of focus or risks has become increasingly complex. While agilization initiatives aim to alleviate the administrative burden on IT staff, regulatory requirements often demand more detailed information and documentation for accounting, planning, and transfer pricing. Additionally, businesses seek reliable assessments of the value contribution of individual IT services.
At Kobaltblau, we possess a deep understanding of both the IT and finance realms. We develop tailored and practical solutions that consider all perspectives and garner support across all stakeholders.
We adopt a holistic consulting approach, covering a wide breadth and depth of services, providing support from target design to successful implementation.
