RG Solutions Financial Management Reporting provides a means of being able to allocate overall and unit costs broken down by business service. Again, we have to focus on the Services that are being provided and take into consideration that there might be one or many services running on a single system.

Using RG Solutions Financial Management Reporting, activity based costing becomes a reality and this provides a number of distinct advantages:

·         Instead of expressing usage in IT terms, usage can be expressed in monetary terms which the Business will understand.

·         IT can be transformed from a cost center to a profit center and increase visibility within the organization.

·         If the business wants to run a sales promotion of say predicts 5000 more transactions per day, the cost of doing so will be quite clear.

·         Assess the cost of providing services on different platforms

·         High cost / non-profitable services can be targeted with a view to improvement
