IT Financial Baseline

The IT Kilowatt

Nobody really knows the true cost (Buyers) or value (Sellers) of IT in the supply chain because there is no standardized way to quantify or measure it like other Utilities. Standardization is the mother of transparency, and transparency is the foundation for any modern system for analytics and action.

6fusion is leading the way with the industry’s first standardized, vendor agnostic capacity and consumption metric for the IT supply chain: The Workload Allocation Cube (kWAC).

The kWAC enables a shift – a shift to a more educated buyer, with more tools to measure efficiency, improved cost understanding and allocation, and optimized planning tools that radically improves the IT supply chain.

Anytime, Anywhere, Any Platform

6fusion’s universal meter for IT is designed to plug and play with all of your relevant data sources necessary to feed our analytics engine. Using an open architecture design, it ingests inputs about cost, capacity, consumption and business logic (Collectors) that serve as discovery, computing kWAC standardized scoring and storing the results and serving them up as outputs to the 6fusion Analytics engine.
