How VIZOR Simplifies Tracking IT Costs

VIZOR becomes the central repository for IT purchases and asset information. The visibility of the data in one place makes it easier to track. However, VIZOR takes it further and links asset information to purchases. Then, VIZOR displays total costs and average cost per user. This information can be seen by Department Managers in VIZOR’s 'View only' mode or reports can be exported to distribute the information as well.

"VIZOR was selected because it has a clean user interface and powerful integration opportunities for connecting IT to other business units."
