ITAM › Cost Analysis shows two tabs—Development and Optimization—for a selectable period of 6, 12, or 24 months.

​
Development

The period is summarized in four figures: Payments This Month (against the previous month), Average Payments / Month (with minimum and maximum), Running Cost / Year, and Biggest Change. If an entry or a category had 0 € in the comparison month, the figure shows “new” instead of a percentage.
Payments This Month counts the amounts due in the month: a yearly contract counts in full in its due month, not as a twelfth in every month. Running Cost / Year converts all currently running contracts to one year.
Color shows direction here, not a judgement: yellow means an increase, green a decrease.
The cost trend shows the monthly course as columns on the left, and the breakdown by category with a trend arrow per category on the right.
Both charts scale to their own largest value—the column height on the left and the bar length on the right are not comparable with each other.
Below that, Biggest Changes lists the entries with the strongest swing against the previous month.

​
Optimization

The savings potential appears in four figures: Unused Budget (per month and year), Affected Costs, Unused Licenses, and Average Utilization with a target value of over 90%.
All four figures stay empty as long as no assignable positions exist.
The Unused Costs table lists the entries with utilization and unused amount per month and year—the direct entry point to Assigning Costs to Assets.
Optimization Opportunities shows tiles with a heading, a problem description, and a figure, provided by Docusnap365. If a tile carries a button, it opens the Assets or Manage Costs list with the matching filter. Assigning Costs to Assets describes how you assign a position’s free units to assets.
