ServiceNow Enterprise Architecture TCO Dashboard

Drive Smart Transformation Decisions with Precise TCO Insights

Enterprise architecture teams must balance cost reduction and addressing technical debt with driving digital transformation and preparing for an AI-powered future. ServiceNow’s Enterprise Architecture Workspace enhances visibility into an increasingly complex IT landscape. However, without complete and accurate technology costs, architecture teams can struggle to prioritize transformation initiatives and align with strategic priorities.

With FMDB for Enterprise Architecture, teams can populate and leverage precise application Total Cost of Ownership (App TCO) data in ServiceNow. Streamline application rationalization, eliminate redundancies, optimize underutilized resources, and track the financial impact of future-state transformations.
