monthly, per domain, per currency

In short

The board asks one question. Four teams give four answers.

When the board asks what the organisation owns and what it costs, the answer usually comes from four teams, four systems, three currencies and four different reporting periods. Somebody then spends a fortnight stitching it into one slide that is out of date before it is presented. Command Centre brings all of it into one place, so the figure on the slide is the figure everyone else is looking at.

  • Cost

    Spend and savings in one view.

    Spend, savings and growth for every area of technology sit side by side, month by month and in your own currency, so you can see where the money goes and whether it is coming down.

  • Risk

    Figures you can stand behind.

    Every number shows which system it came from and when that system last reported, so a figure challenged in the boardroom can be traced straight back to its source.

  • Effort

    No more quarterly reconciliation.

    The monthly figures build themselves from the products you already run. Nobody spends a fortnight assembling the board pack, and last quarter is always there to compare against.
