From problem to solution

Each FogLifter solution follows a decision-oriented path.

The problem

TBM and cost-transparency tools allocate spend, but they can only be as good as the data feeding them. When the underlying infrastructure inventory is wrong, every allocation downstream is questionable.

  • TBM models built on unverified asset and service counts.
  • Cost allocations debated rather than accepted.
  • Vendor invoices paid without validation against actual usage.

How FogLifter addresses it

FogLifter validates the inventory and service definitions first, then layers cost data from ERP, asset, HR, and contract systems on top. The result is a true cost of service — not an estimate, but evidence.

  • Validated infrastructure inventory before any cost is allocated.
  • Cost of service across servers, storage, middleware, backups, and labor.
  • Vendor invoice validation against actual measured usage.
