  • 1.  Labor to IT Tower Mapping

    Posted 01/21/21 05:48 PM
    We are currently on ATUM 2.1 and are finalizing the Benchmarking configuration.  One of the sections I have left to configure is FTE to Towers.  Can someone confirm where I would map people who manage Cloud?  According to the ITRT Reference List v 2.1, it appears they should map to Compute, Servers.  Can someone confirm?  Thank you in advance!

    The default configuration maps Cloud spend to Compute/Servers. We're considering changing this, as quite obviously, some Cloud costs are NOT related to servers.

    Thanks @Guillermo Cuadrado for the confirmation!  I agree, Cloud should probably be its own subtower, but for now at least I have it mapped according to the correct ATUM structure.​​

    For us is not very critical, as we do some reallocation further up the line, but not by ITRT, of course. The Azure module in CT does a good job of identifying the Tower/Subtower every line item in the invoice belongs to, but, like I said, we're not leveraging that.
    We've built some Cloud consumption reports where we show that breakdown.
    Glad to be of service!
