A person always decides. Business ## Procurement and IT asset management - Asset cards linked to the CMDB, handover protocols and cost centres - Accounting and tax depreciation, disposal through a disposal committee - Purchase request → approval by the cost-centre owner, and by finance above a limit → order → receipt - Supplier invoices with order – receipt – invoice matching - Spare-part stores at data centres: minimum levels, transfers, issue against an incident or change, RMA - Software licences: entitlements, assignments and compliance with installations in the CMDB Enterprise ## Costs, billing and price list - FOCUS cost import, currency conversion at the CNB rate - Costs by customer, project and business service - Pivot tables and monthly billing data - Service price list and server calculator; price changes approved by the service owner - Application capacity model: users, peak load and tiers Enterprise ## Customer separation - A customer’s users see only their own data, including costs - Roles scoped to a customer, team or item - Sync with a primary CMDB (ServiceNow, SMAX) via external IDs Standard ## Adoption roadmap and rollout governance - Discovery workshop wizard: goals with KPIs, area maturity, data availability, profile and modules - Priorities by impact and effort, rollout waves respecting dependencies and capacity - Workstreams per module with tasks, owners, milestones and readiness checks - Approved baseline, slippage with reasons and go / no-go steering committee decisions - KPIs measured by Stilla every week and a steering committee report Standard ## Governance, security and audit - 14 scoped roles, a RACI matrix checked against permissions - SSO and API tokens for service accounts - Five-year audit trail, before and after state for configuration - Email and Slack notifications by rules and templates - Deployed as SaaS or a container on OpenShift; works on mobile too In preparation ## In preparation What we are working on. The order is driven by feedback from pilot customers; we do not sell it as finished before release. In preparation ### Discovery connectors Automatic collection from vCenter and public clouds (OpenShift is already imported). In preparation ### NIS2 and DORA Major incident classification and report, DORA register. In preparation ### Self-service portal Requests and incident status for end users. In preparation ### Knowledge base Articles for resolvers and users linked to known errors and services. Editions ## Compare editions Start with what you need today.
