Chargeback – Customer Case Study

Fortune 500 Company (Top 10 Pharmaceutical Company)

Environment 100+ PB of multi-vendor storage (EMC, HDS, IBM, NetApp) 5,000+ backup clients (TSM, Avamar, Data Domain) 1,000+ servers (virtual – VMware) 2 primary data centers with 15+ remote sites

Problem Highly manual process for getting asset data to the billing system 10-year old scripts and 200+ hours/month of spreadsheet work to

collect data Data delivered was incomplete and inaccurate Could not control storage growth and forecast storage needs

Customer Benefits Automated process delivers data directly to SAP billing system Eliminated manual data collection processes (200+ hr/month) Eliminated 3rd party legacy script maintenance and updates Scheduled reports need less maintenance and are less error-prone

Customer Quotes – Chargeback

“I was very impressed by how quickly the project group grasped the concept of our billing process and even added value in future enhancements that wasn’t originally thought of.”

“The suggestion of connecting the two systems was brilliant! After some work is done internally the next step will be to connect the two systems and have the billing system run on an automated schedule hopefully with no manual intervention.”

“The project & the project team has exceeded what I thought it would look like in the end. My hat is off to each and everyone involved in this project – you have met or exceeded all project milestones in my opinion.”
