―With HP IT Financial Management, we‘re driving the financial accountability of our technology organization.
We‘ve benchmarked our IT spending in relationship to our operational expenses, and it is substantially lower than our peers.
As its business users become more cognizant of their technology consumption, they find ways to use technology more efficiently
Our unit costs – meaning cost per desktop, per server, per gigabyte of storage – have dropped 14 percent.‖
Jeffrey Johnson – Deputy CIO and VP of Operations and Infrastructure, Constellation Energy

Before
– Fragmented processes and tools, succeeding through ―pure heroism‖
– Met objectives because we had smart people working very hard
– Not scalable

• Adaptation of ITIL v3
• Started with HP Project & Portfolio Management to understand portfolio investments
• HP Asset manager to help decommission large assets
• HP uCMDB led to better understanding of risks and conflicts associated changes
• HP Discovery and Dependency Mapping to help define the business value of technology assets and resources
• HP Service Manager where escalations reduced by half e.g. thanks to better access to problem data

"HP is helping us enhance operational and strategic
decision making by identifying ways to drive more
value to our business while driving out
inefficiencies.

CASE STUDY
Before
– CFO of IT weekly conducts
analysis of variances and
manages exceptions in
flight
– CIO and CFO of IT go to
business meeting and
present results from FPA
Dashboard
• Budgets are created by cost center in excel, they are manually rolled up to an IT budget
• Actuals are created by manually pulling data from Asset Manager and PPM and then manually loaded into cost center Excel plans
• Budget versus actual is then manually rolled up by the CIO and the CFO of IT to get totals
• Meanwhile, at the spreadsheet level, limited analysis is possible at best

Financial Planning & Analysis
26
Where to Start?
– Financial Planning & Analysis
• Already have a mature PPM and/or AM deployment
• Customize data gathering from equivalent products
• No PPM/AM? Collate data into FPA-ready spreadsheet template
• Focus is on views of financials for stakeholders or cost allocation
– Project and Portfolio Management
• Do not already have a portfolio perspective
• Inefficient or routinely cancelled projects is a pain point
• Difficulty keeping track of demand for investments
• No current view of labor costs (e.g. time recording)
– Asset Management (and uCMDB)
• Not currently tracking assets
• No real link between assets and business services
• Issues with software licensing and compliance
27
You have been managing your department based on near-real time financial data.
You can link and demonstrate the value of services to the business.
You have the transparency and flexibility to answer questions and provide data to improve decision-making.

What Is ITFM?
IT Financial Management (ITFM) plans, accounts and
controls spending on resources used in providing IT
services aligned to business entities.
―The aim of Financial Management for IT Services is to give accurate
and cost effective stewardship of IT assets and resources used in
providing IT Services. It is used to plan, control and recover costs
expended in providing the IT Service negotiated and agreed to in the
Service Level Agreements (SLA).‖ (ITIL V3)
