Key challenges without Assurance

The Cost & Margin assurance is important to mitigate the root cause areas of leakage such as hosting cost of unused/redundant assets, higher level of equipment failures than expected, customer does not achieve the expected margin etc. If not followed it leads to challenges like:

• Not all costs are considered when calculating margins which provides an inaccurate view of borderline products / customers / partners.
• Not all revenues as per reported financials are mapped when calculating margins.
• Most margin management programs do not cover the length and breadth of all products & services offered.
• Complex dashboards that provide very little actionable & measurable outcomes
