Customers using the SatoriAnalytics technology have greater visibility into their IT costs. They have successfully reduced their IT infrastructure costs by at least 25 percent.

The SatoriAnalytics platform helps financial and IT executives answer key questions, such as:

• How much computing capacity is available and how much of that is being used, by whom and for what purpose?
• What opportunities exist to achieve server consolidation and how should I prioritize to achieve maximum capacity at the lowest possible cost?
• On which computing environments should I standardize based on true cost/capacity performance?
• How much should IT charge users for IT services/resources to achieve cost recovery and steer usage towards most cost efficient environments and usage times?
• How is each of my data centers performing relative to others in terms of cost efficiency?

one of the largest supermarket chains in the Nordic region, outsources all its IT operations. They wanted a utility-based charging model, but COOP's service provider simply aggregated the costs of a managed a pool of resources dedicated to COOP. Lacking visibility into its resources utilization, COOP lacked the visibility to align their business decisions with potential financial impacts and had to rely on the decisions made by the service provider regarding capacity expansion as business needs and usage patterns changed. To take control of their IT costs, COOP implemented the SatoriAnalytics technology, enabling them to accurately account for all IT resources and cost-effectively plan for new services as their business grew.

one of the largest insurance companies in the Nordic region, had a relatively small mainframe operation and believed they could benefit from outsourcing the operation. Folksam was very sensitive to the cost-per-produced unit of computing capacity as their strategy was to provide insurance products in high volume at the lowest possible cost. Optimizing and lowering IT costs was critical to their business model. Folksam implemented the SatoriAnalytics technology to identify savings opportunities and dynamically manage their IT costs, enabling them to better align expenses with profitability targets.

The university has several external research projects regarding managing IT operations with large corporations from a value / cost perspective based on SatoriAnalytics.

is the largest commercial bank in Sweden, and one of the largest merchant banks in the world. SEB experienced dramatic growth through acquisitions of banks in Germany and the Baltic countries. SEB faced a complex, growing IT infrastructure with low utilization on a "stove piped" architecture. SEB needed to optimize the different IT operations and create a cost-effective solution to space its growing business. SatoriAnalytics provided detailed information about SEB costs and helped them make the best decisions for data center consolidation.

an assembly of municipalities in the southwestern part of Sweden and the largest employer in the country, is responsible for managing public transportation and healthcare in the region. VGR had a wide-range of different servers in their data centers, including a large legacy system. VGR wanted to transform their data centers, consolidating the number of servers to improve overall utilization and efficiency as well as reduce IT costs. VGR deployed the SatoriAnalytics technology to drive the cost and optimization analysis and then implemented the chargeback functionality that enabled VGR to move to allocated resources based on the business value that IT delivered.
