ITFMA Workshop: Advanced Cost Modeling – Best Practices for IT Finance/IT Business Management

Start  your ITFMA conference with a deep dive into Service Costing.  This is a Monday Afternoon Pre Conference Workshop for the ITFMA Annual conference in Santa Fe.  Are you a Cost Modeling Newby?  Be sure to attend the Intro to Cost Modeling class in the morning first. 

The leap to cost modeling can be an uncertain one. In this workshop we will cover the business drivers and benefits of cost modeling, how it supports strategic decision making, and what are the typical metrics and measures of success. We will address data and the typical roadblocks other clients have overcome to launch a successful program, and then walk through how cost modeling works in a variety of systems from Excel to the leading off-the-shelf vendors. We will leave time to support brainstorming of the opportunities for cost modeling in your organizations and wrap-up with roadmap steps to get you started.'
