Nicus FMDB for Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides enterprise architects, IT and business leaders with precise and defensible total cost of ownership (TCO) data for business applications. Whether you’re aligning IT investments with strategic goals or optimizing resource allocation, FMDB delivers the insights you need to drive measurable business value.

Most organizations struggle with incomplete or inaccurate TCO data, leading to misaligned decisions and inefficient resource use. FMDB for EA addresses this challenge, enabling stakeholders to clearly communicate IT operational impact in business terms and make smarter, data-driven decisions.

Using an out-of-the-box EA cost model and finance-approved data, FMDB can calculate each cost component for an application. General ledger records and cloud spend are imported and automatically mapped to business applications. The cost of compute from servers to applications is allocated through seamless integration with ServiceNow’s Auto Discovery and the dependency map built by IT in EA. Labor configuration options enable fully burdened TCO for each business application.

Access accurate TCO data directly within the Enterprise Architecture Workspace on the Portfolio TCO dashboard (new in the Washington release). Visualize expense distribution by cost type and analyze trends over time, empowering faster and more informed decision-making.

Improve cost efficiency, align technology to strategy and make faster decisions directly within the ServiceNow EA application using FMDB for Enterprise Architecture.
