The software estate report

AppBox produces a decision document, designed to be handed to your finance department (CFO), without them needing to open the application.

File to drop: static/img/screenshots/appbox/rapport.png Content: a preview of the software estate report (summary + opportunities table).

What it contains​

  • Executive summary (readable on its own): estimated annual software cost, achievable savings at the chosen coefficient, number of recoverable licenses, percentage of fleet waste.
  • State of the estate: number of devices, distinct applications, installed/used breakdown, top applications by cost.
  • Opportunities table per application (owned / installed / used / euros wasted / recommended action), sorted by financial stake.
  • Detail by case: ghosts, dormant seats, duplicates, shadow IT.
  • Action checklist: each opportunity becomes a line to tick, with the estimated saving pre-filled and a blank field for the real saving observed. The CFO can fill it in over time.
  • Assumptions and method: how usage is measured, where costs come from, the effect of the safety coefficient. The transparency that allows deciding without fear.

PDF export​

The report exports as a branded PDF, printable and self-contained. It is the formal deliverable of your rationalization approach, the one that makes the saving concrete and defensible.

The safety coefficient appears in it​

The chosen safety coefficient is shown clearly at the top of the report: the trade-off between savings and margin is assumed and transparent.
