IT budgeting often lives in disconnected spreadsheets, making it slow to update, hard to trust, and difficult to align with how the business actually operates.
Yarken replaces this with a collaborative planning environment aligned to TBM taxonomy. Plans, forecasts, and actuals stay connected in real time, so assumptions are clear and changes don’t require rework.
The result is faster planning cycles, higher confidence in the numbers, and budgets that clearly link IT spend to business strategy.

When financial data isn’t aligned to IT structures, even basic questions about spend become hard to answer.

Yarken translates GLs, budgets, and forecasts into business-aligned cost views using a standard TBM taxonomy. Finance and IT work from the same model, seeing costs by service, application, and capability.

This creates a shared financial language teams can trust—and use to drive better decisions.

The true cost of applications and services is often obscured by hidden infrastructure, labor, and shared costs.

Yarken brings these elements together, tracking full lifecycle costs and tying them to usage and value. Teams can see what applications really cost to run—and what they deliver in return.

This enables rationalization, pricing, and investment decisions grounded in total cost and ROI.

Without visibility into consumption, business units struggle to understand their impact on IT spend.

Yarken allocates costs based on how services are actually used and communicates them clearly to stakeholders. Models are transparent, explainable, and adaptable as maturity evolves.

This drives accountability, encourages better behaviour, and supports both showback and chargeback approaches.

Cloud provider bills tell only part of the story, leaving out labor, tooling, support, and shared services.

Yarken extends cloud cost visibility beyond invoices, applying a standardized TCO model that captures the full cost of running cloud platforms.

Teams gain a complete, normalized view of cloud spend—supporting strategic decisions, cost control, and true ROI assessment.

SaaS spend is often fragmented across teams, with licenses underused and contracts disconnected from actual usage.

Yarken consolidates license, contract, and usage data into a single view, including indirect costs like identity and support services.

This reveals waste, supports right-sizing, and connects subscription cost to business value.

On-prem infrastructure costs are typically buried in financial systems and disconnected from operational data.

Yarken captures labor, depreciation, maintenance, and shared services to calculate full on-prem TCO and map it to business services.

This creates parity with cloud models and enables consistent comparison across hybrid environments.

Contracts often exist as static documents, disconnected from how services are actually consumed.

Yarken turns contract data into a structured, living asset—linking terms, commitments, and entitlements to real usage.

This helps teams reduce overspend, improve renewals, and identify savings opportunities proactively.

Without context, it’s hard to know whether IT costs or efficiency levels are good, bad, or average.

Yarken compares spend, unit costs, and service performance against peer benchmarks and best practices.

This provides the context needed to set realistic targets, prioritize optimization, and track value over time.
