Justifying capacity management by demonstrating the ROI - why a Capacity Management Tool is necessary ( 3 of 5)

Capacity Management offers scope to deliver high value returns

Nowadays the complexity of environments demands that automated reporting be used as there are so many more components to look at.

 

            

 

Automation of reporting across the environment makes the task of Capacity Management more manageable.

 

A Capacity Management tool should be able to pull data from across all platforms to one central database.

 

It’s important to have the same look and feel to reports and reporting across the Enterprise. Rather than using a myriad of point solutions it is more effective to consolidate your Capacity Management on to one tool.

 

 

Data comes in to our Capacity Management solution athene® from all different data sources and this over-arching view is what adds real value to the business.

On Wednesday I'll be examining what variables are key to determining ROI.
