    I have been looking for a Fin OPs product for a considerable amount of time and have had a shortlist of 5 products. Each of them could deliver a good service, but for my particular needs the prices quoted were too excessive. The start to finish of our implementation was faultless and the price was 80% cheaper than every competitor

    Unparalleled capabilities to illustrate the cost DNA of a business

    This tool offers a flexibility of interrogating data and build reports that is difficult to find in the market and certainly not at such competitive price. Senior management have been impressed as they have never seen such a transparency of their cost base. Apart of the ease and speed of implementation, the consultants have shown their deep understanding of the commercial environment of the business and provided additional consultancy on the future roadmap required to streamline operations and ultimately drive cost savings.

    CostLens software employs industry best practices for IT cost reporting, as well as pre-built algorithms. This greatly assists firms in making decisions that are in their best interests. CostLens produces IT cost indicators that are not seen in finance ledgers. Its primary benefit is that it assists CFOs and CIOs in more efficiently managing IT operating expenses through more transparency, optimizing IT expenses with just an average 25% decrease in structural costs, and increasing returns on IT and business spending.
