Command Centre

Four consoles. Three currencies.
One question.

CerteroX Command Centre brings hardware, software, cloud applications, cloud services and AI into one view, so the board’s technology questions get one consistent answer.

Federated visibility, governance, topology and dependency run across all of them at once, and a monthly KPI series carries assets, spend, savings and growth per domain — so the answer is a view rather than a fortnight.

In short

One question from the board should not take a fortnight.

Technology spend is split across teams, tools and currencies. When the board asks a simple question about cost or savings, four teams produce four answers and someone spends two weeks reconciling them. CerteroX holds all of it in one place, month by month, so the answer is ready when the question is asked.

  • Cost

    See total technology spend and savings.

    Assets, spend, savings and growth are tracked monthly for every area, in one currency, so trends are visible quarter on quarter.

  • Risk

    Every figure can be traced.

    When a number is challenged, it leads back to its source, which makes board reporting defensible.

  • Effort

    No more reconciliation fortnights.

    Reports come from one store rather than four spreadsheets, so preparing for the board stops being a project.

Quarter end

Tell us the question.
We will read you the row.

Whatever your board asked last quarter that took four teams a fortnight to answer. We will start on the federated view it comes out of, and on the month-by-month series behind it.

A populated environment at realistic scale, a technical person on the call, and a straight answer where we do not fit.
