Why Cost Control?
-
Making IT invoices interpretable
The IT provider's invoices are unclear, making it difficult to follow up on costs and taking a lot of time to analyse.
-
Understanding IT costs
Categorising and visualising costs makes it easier to understand how individual invoice lines relate to the actual IT delivery.
-
Identify cost discrepancies
It is very common that IT invoices do not match what has been delivered, visualisations make it easier to detect errors and discrepancies.
-
Save money
By actively following up on errors and pursuing credit cases with suppliers, cost savings are achieved.
-
Gain control and predictability
By working methodically with cost monitoring, you get control of your costs and an improved predictability of tomorrow's IT costs.
-
Save time
Frees up time in the IT manager's administrative day to do more value-adding work,

Before we had Cost Control in place, it was difficult to understand from the supplier invoices how different IT costs from our operating supplier developed over time. Now I can more easily follow developments and drill down into details and follow up on deviations. With the support of Cost Control and MissionPoint, who are used to analysing IT costs, we have together achieved cost savings in IT operating costs at PO.P. This will benefit us for a long time as we can now spend more of the IT budget on creating added value for the business instead of high ongoing IT costs.
