HBO/WO internship: IT Cost Transparency in Eindhoven

Functiebeschrijving

Infrastructure & Operations is a department within IT that is responsible for the entire infrastructure of all our DAF Trucks locations.
There are many applications and software that run on this infrastructure for which we pay a yearly maintenance and/or subscription fee to several Vendors. Besides the yearly maintenance and subscription fees there are more costs to take into consideration, f.e. the labor costs to maintain the infrastructure or the costs for hardware to install these applications on.
These last costs are hardly taken into consideration when it comes to budget forecasting. It could be that the maintenance costs are relatively low but that the costs for labor to maintain the application are high. That’s why I&O would like to get more transparency in these costs to base their budget decisions on.

The department would like to get an overview of the Total Costs of Ownership (TCO) of the Finance & Services applications to start with as a pilot. The goal of the project is to make the costs of the Finance & Services (F&S) applications transparent so TCO improvement opportunities can be identified. Deliverables are:

• TCO calculator for all applications Finance & Services
• An advisory report on TCO efficiency for these applications. (In English)
