What are our service costs?

The business question What are our service costs? helps decision-makers understand the cost breakdown as well as analyze cost evolution over time of the enterprise's business service and support service costs. Multiple reports helps you identify the most costly services, breaking down information so that you understand the costs drivers, costs types, and costs per lifecycle phase for current and planned costs. What-if analyses provide insight to phasing in and phasing out services.
