ITFM software benefits

Switch gears from IT cost to IT value

  • Achieve transparency

Know exactly where you can reduce costs and re-invest by implementing real-time visibility across your business.

  • Optimize costs

Every penny counts, particularly during a financial crisis. Why spend more than is necessary in the cloud and pay for services that aren’t being embraced?

  • Invest for growth

The pace of digital transformation has been increasing tremendously. Now is the time to invest wisely in your digital capabilities. Surplus budget from a reduction in IT spend can drive innovation initiatives.

  • Transform your services

Improve both internal and external service provision. Better relationships between IT and internal departments and strategic objectives fuel success.

Data quality you can trust

  • Turn reliable data into actionable strategies

Our ITFM software is set up with a central database where your data is stored and kept up-to-date. Take the focus away from validating data and instead focus exclusively on conducting analyses, generating reports and taking action.

  • Apply your Excel knowledge while avoiding Excel-related risks

With an Excel-like interface and pivot tables you can complete tasks like planning and closing independently. This eliminates IT reliance and ensures data accuracy, security, and regulatory compliance.

  • Use a single interface for all your work

Avoid switching between different applications. Our ITFM software ensures that there are no interruptions when moving between planning and reporting tasks.

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 Model, to accelerate digital transformation and bring efficiency, effectiveness and productivity through IT Financial Management.
