Case Study: Inera achieves more accurate and efficient IT cost budgeting with Solver

Inera turns to Solver and Solver for a more accurate and efficient way of budgeting IT costs

Inera is a publicly owned Swedish company that manages and delivers IT services for the country’s healthcare system, running some 30 services from public sites like 1177.se to backend identification and decision systems. Because it uses an activity‑based cost model and many employees work across multiple services, Inera struggled to allocate costs accurately and efficiently—its prior budgeting relied on a separate database with heavy Excel-based calculations, which limited forecasting and pricing accuracy.

Inera implemented Solver Planning (delivered by Solver and implemented by Netgain) with a connection to its service catalog and financial systems; the solution was live within 50 days and supports an ABC model to allocate costs, run simulations and generate forecasts. The new platform has streamlined budgeting, improved forecast accuracy and provided a stronger basis for internal pricing so service prices better reflect true costs.
