Implementing ClearCost
To help you get the most out of your ClearCost Software investment in the shortest possible
time, we offer a range of implementation packages. With many years experience in
implementing and tailoring the ClearCost software into a variety of environments, we can quickly design a package to suit your needs, timeline and budget.

One of our main objectives is your self-sufficiency in maintaining and using ClearCost. Mentoring
of designated staff, transferring knowledge through workshops and courses, one-on-one
sessions at critical points of the implementation are typical examples of our approach.

The main functional areas we consider for implementation and that you would need to decide on in terms of scope and priority include:

  • Building a fully costed Service Catalogue (based on your existing Catalogue or one we can develop for you from our range of Catalogue templates)
  • Tailoring the Technical Service/Component Tower Catalogue to reflect the nature of your IT operations, based on an extensively researched and tested set of IT templates
  • Establishing a data model design that meets your needs for management information reporting and analysis
  • Adaptations to the existing budgeting process to incorporate ClearCost at key points
  • Extent of Activity Based Costing detail to drive outcomes
  • Demand Profiling levels and measurement systems
  • Capacity and measurement design
  • Impact of recording actual cost data and re-forecasting on approach and maintenance
    procedures.

Our approach is based on a tried and proven methodology that minimizes your staff involvement and generates the most reliable and predictable result for your first cut implementation.

 
"The ClearCost tool is only half the story though setting up the information and learning how to best use it is crucial too and Paul and Steven have taken a great deal of pains to ensure this goes well. The icing on the cake is their advice on pros, cons andbest practice along the way, eg 'should we include asset depreciation within IT cost reporting or should it be part of other business depreciation?"
