As digital transformation rages in the business world, organizations find themselves in an overwhelming waterfall of products, services, technologies and suppliers, each of which having been specifically designed to address specific “gaps” relating to enterprise ICT requirements.
As the technology inventory grows, it becomes harder for IT executives to ensure end-to-end visibility, optimize usage, and minimize inefficiencies. This results in reduced risk of excess spend, improves profitability, and provides a significant impact on the bottom line.
The abundance of choice brings disorientation, is terrifying and results in a lack of action because of fear of change due to the unknown it may bring, fear of the perceived inability to manage the change or fear of the perceived inability to prove the effectiveness of such change after it has been made.
The growing popularity of the XaaS model, where everything from infrastructure to computing to storage is a service, limits IT management, finance and procurement’s control and visibility on costs.

Technology Expense Management services address the growing challenges that come with managing assets and costs of both traditional IT with Cloud based services.
From traditional IT investments, maintenance to cloud-based subscriptions to online ordering services, an enterprise can quickly lose track of ever evolving IT costs. Technology expense management involves managing everything hardware and software related within your company. It helps to bring out the key details regarding IT costs and assets. Understanding how TEM impacts business growth and efficiency starts with looking at what’s considered to be an IT expense.
Hardware includes just about anything with a power button: computers, laptops, printers (and any extra expenses for materials), scanners, fax machines, etc.
In addition to continued support for traditional IT infrastructure, organizations in recent years have increasingly adopted public, hybrid and private cloud. Large companies already have adopted 5 public and private clouds on average running 80% of their workloads. As a consequence, due to the variety and complexity of cloud pricing, managing cloud spend has become a top priority in addition to managing security. Cloud computing may put unprecedented power into the hands of business users, but the processes for centralizing management and auditing distributed resources are not new.
As the technology inventory grows, it becomes harder for IT executives to ensure end-to-end visibility, optimize usage, and minimize inefficiencies. This results in reduced risk of excess spend, improves profitability, and provides a significant impact on the bottom line.
With Convergence’s Technology Expense Management platform and services complete visibility across all IT products, services, usage and costs are achieved, which is necessary to effectively understand and manage the enterprise ICT environment.
In most organizations, finance, IT, and Telecom support teams simply do not have the time, resources or the necessary experience and tools to effectively manage monthly technology expenses on an ongoing basis.
"CIOs and other technology managers face turbulent times where both economic and accounting challenges will drive the need to control costs, either as part of a sustained cost-reduction effort or to act as responsible financial stewards for digitally-drive businesses."

Cloud Expense Management has become the next frontier in managing Technology Expenses. Shadow IT and decentralized, self-service cloud services easuliy get out of control. Teams are setting up their own cloud services, bypassing the IT department and organizational budget controls, while putting sensitive data at risk of breach, causing compliance risks and already lead to huge cost inefficiencies in most organisations.
Organizations are under pressure to keep track of actual IT costs and the business value of IT investments. Visibility into the cost of services is challenging and control difficult as financial data is scattered across the organization. IT Asset and Cost Management keeps track of the financial costs. It provides insight into what is being spent, and where and why costs are being incurred through analytics and reporting.
IoT represents a new challenge in Technology Expense Management. It helps in process optimization, better production planning and control, supply chain restructuring, efficient asset utilization, product quality improvement, faster service delivery and customer service satisfaction. While it brings cost efficiencies, organizations need to track these costs and their impact through integration in TEM programs.
