Case Study: Worldline achieves cost control and transparency with SMT Data's ITBI solution

Cost control and charge back in a shared mainframe environment

Worldline, a global leader in the payments industry, faced challenges in controlling mainframe costs and ensuring usage aligned with business volume. They needed to provide fact-based reports to finance and establish an effective charge-back system for their shared IT infrastructure. To address this, they partnered with vendor SMT Data to implement its ITBI software and related services.

SMT Data provided a Managed Service, using its ITBI platform to deliver detailed analysis and transparency into resource usage. This enabled an effective charge-back system for business units and gave finance clear cost breakdowns. The solution brought costs under control and allowed for a quick response to a sudden 20% usage increase, resolving it within hours. Luciano Dognini of Worldline stated that the project was a success and that he "would have started sooner."
