BluLogix offers a shared services management platform called BluIQ that helps organizations track, manage, allocate, and bill for IT resources in three primary ways:
1) Service Catalog & Portfolio Management to define services that align with business value and manage digital assets.
2) Service Asset Management to track usage and costs of SaaS/cloud subscriptions and drive out waste.
3) Service Financial Management to associate the IT budget with business value through a business hierarchy and account structure that rolls costs up to stakeholder groups.
Public Sector Chargeback: Software-as-a-Service for Shared Services Frequentl...BluLogix
Public sector shared services groups are increasingly tasked with managing expenditures, reducing costs, standardizing infrastructure and leading digital transformations to drive policies and standards across their organizations.
Not knowing your costs is an expense you can’t afford.
Your Challenge
While IT departments provide valuable services to their organizations, it is frequently unclear how much these services cost. CIOs often find themselves in a position where they cannot articulate exactly how much it costs to deliver a given service in order to justify the service’s value.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
IT capital and operational costs are captured in accounting ledgers using financial constructs that lend themselves well to financial reporting, but obscure the true cost to deliver each IT service.
Translating accounting ledgers to IT service costs is a difficult process that may sometimes appear arbitrary.
The data required for detailed service-based costing is often unavailable.
Service-based costing is not for everyone. It requires clearly defined goals and commitment to be successful.
You don’t have to be perfect to gain value from service-based costing. Imperfect analysis can still point you in the right direction for improvement.
Nobody trusts a “black box.” Be transparent with results.
Impact and Result
Use a method of determining the full cost of services that provides a reasonable level of accuracy without overburdening staff with excessive analysis and investigation.
Optimize the balance between analytical effort and accuracy of service costing by understanding your service cost accuracy needs and matching them to an appropriate level of service-based costing capability.

Free Gartner Report: Aligning Supply and Demand for IT Services
Cloud computing is transforming how IT manages costs and standards, but its impact extends into how IT itself is managed as a business. Public cloud computing puts pressure on the entire IT cost structure to become wiser and more efficient about balancing the supply and demand for IT services.
While cloud commoditization is driving down prices, IT is forced to manage resulting increases in consumption. The report recommends steps CIOs should take to improve the maturity of their approach to IT service management, installing:
• Benchmarking and chargeback to manage demand for cloud services
• Expand their strategic vendor management and IT procurement practices
• Become a broker of services, including external cloud computing.
Consider using IT cost transparency improvement as a cultural change agent to transform the IT organization from a focus on “speed and quality” to one of “IT cost and business value”.

Move Beyond Billing | Transform Your Business with MonetizationBluLogix
If you are in the market for billing software, you know it’s an environment full of different terminology used to describe related ideas. Billing. Invoicing. Subscription Management. Recurring Revenue Management. And, our personal favorite - Monetization. All this terminology confusion can make it difficult to sort through what vendors are trying to sell you and, more importantly, what a particular solution will deliver.
Expanding into international markets can be a great way to scale growth for a business. However, attempting to reach these markets can highlight limitations around monetization capabilities for many companies. Some complexities that can stunt globalization strategies can include:
Creating a Monetization Framework For Your BusinessBluLogix
There’s little dispute that digital transformation has affected nearly every aspect of B2B commercial activity. Success in the digital economy requires that organizations move beyond traditional ways of doing business while accelerating market-facing responsiveness across all functional areas.
Thinking Outside the Box in Agile MonetizationBluLogix
Increased emphasis on agility in finance and sales operations is often seen strictly through the prism of increased speed metrics such as time to market and time to revenue. Yet, equally important in this context are the ability to rapidly create new capabilities from existing functions. This requires that organizations unpack the capabilities contained in the traditional “functional boxes”. In this research report we discuss how creating new capabilities of components of existing finance automation solutions can help organizations create proactive revenue management capability with a direct and immediate impact on both topline growth and bottom line profitability.
Moving to Subscription Billing? What You Haven’t Considered:BluLogix
Maybe you’ve thought about transitioning to a subscription model or an “as-a-service” type of business because you’re interested in creating recurring revenue. Before you do, there’s a multitude of potential pitfalls that most companies making the switch haven’t even considered.

What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

solutions to enterprises for more than a decade.
The history of the platform dates back even
further as a billing platform built for telecom

Government CIOs must go on the offensive to lead digital
transformation by focusing on the transforming Shared Service
Organizations (SSO) from Simple Cost Allocation to the Value Based
Service Optimization.
“
Introduction
BluLogix is a relatively new entrant to the
Shared Services model with some big wins
against established incumbents. BluLogix
success in Shared Services is largely based on
automating the billing or chargeback process,
based on Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), to address the migration
to Cloud and SaaS services. Working from
this viewpoint gives BluLogix a different
perspective than legacy ITFM solutions
focused on IT general ledger (GL) analytics
and data presentation.
2. B2B SUBSCRIPTION, MADE EASY
Introduction
Key Challenges:
In many cases GL analytics and data presentation meets the requirement of aligning IT Cost with
business value. However, as the world shifts to public/private cloud and SaaS, there is a requirement to
manage and consume expanding amounts of usage data, from multiple sources, to account for business
cost based on use.
Moving to a usage enabled shared services model fixes problems other allocation methods ignore, one of
the most significant of which is adherence to GAAP. GAAP adherence ensures de-risking of financial
audits focused on how expenses and funds are allocated across an enterprise. GAAP is a federal
requirement for public sector organizations that receive federal funding and allocate cost (OMB Circular
A-87).
Many SSOs were built to support shared
use of data center resources and
enterprise software licensing. These
structures are challenged with
management of public/private cloud and
Software as a Service.
SSOs have traditionally provided one to
one chargeback for resources sourced by
IT. Product definitions don’t translate to
business service definitions making it
difficult for business stakeholders to
associate cost to value.
Business stakeholders are not satisfied with
primitive high-level and low-level allocation
methods that do not align with competitive
commercial usage-based consumption pricing.
It is difficult for IT to accurately assess usage in
virtualized environments —which IT resources
are being utilized, how much they are being
utilized, and who is utilizing them.
Business stakeholders cannot determine
whether IT is offering a competitive service or
whether the service can be procured more cost
efficiently elsewhere.
What is OMB Circular A-87?
OMB Circular A-87, also known as "Cost Principles for State, Local, and
Indian Tribal Governments," is a set of guidelines issued by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) that establishes principles for
determining the allowable costs of federal awards to state, local, and tribal
governments.
The circular provides guidance on the types of costs that can be charged to
federal awards, as well as the documentation and reporting requirements
for those costs.
It also includes information on indirect cost rates, audits, and other related
issues. The circular is intended to ensure that federal funds are used
efficiently and effectively, and that the costs charged to federal awards are
reasonable, allowable, and allocable.

There are three primary components to BluIQ’s SSO Solution:
BluIQ Solution Overview
Redefining service catalog descriptions
and bundles to represent services that
align with business value.
Establishing a method to manage an
inventory of digital assets based on
service identifiers.
Enabling advanced billing code
management for both cost sharing and
project codes where costs can be directly
attributed to value.
Incorporating more advanced
chargeback methods based on use with
the ability to capture and mediate near
real-time usage data from potentially
dozens of internal and external data
sources.
Capturing both internal and external costs
for services delivered to the business unit,
as well as the rate the business unit will pay.
Reconciling vendor invoices against
expected cost and use. Manage exceptions
between the expected (contract) cost data
and the vendor invoice data.
Mapping chargeback to ERP General
Ledger to roll-up charges for reporting and
reconciliation at the GL level.
Integrating transaction transparency and
self-management into customer portal
functionality.

As with any service being bought or sold, it is important for all parties to be familiar with exactly what is
being transacted. This is true for the Shared Service Organizations (SSO) and the client organizations.
Ideally, a service catalog would be developed so that the customer can see exactly what they are
buying/expecting and will not expect new or desired enhancements as necessarily being free of charge.
If this is combined with the service portfolio that the customers have been involved in designing, then
there is little room for misplaced expectations to emerge, leading to any disagreement or dissatisfaction.
Clarity and transparency for all is vital.
Service Hierarchies manage the connection between product, service and value. Service hierarchies
typically start with the product source.
Products can be bundled into a Service Bundle with additional attributes that control how the bundle is
managed.
Price Plans or Rate Plans are created by selecting a product from the catalog assigning it to the price
plan input price and optionally cost.
Discount schemes can be created and added to the price plan to allow for price automation based on use.

Without effective Service Account Management discipline, in many cases
30% or more of SaaS/Cloud subscriptions remain unuse (Gartner)
With the software budget progressively under pressure and the SaaS/Cloud portfolio expanding
dramatically in parallel, the facility to eliminate waste, rightsize contracts and offset price increases
makes Service Asset Management fundamental to cost-containment.
In many cases the way IT products are procured is very different than the traditional billing models. In
turn, SSOs will need to chargeback for services as they are consumed.
SaaS/Cloud costs are driven by a series of factors that are increasingly difficult to address through
negotiation but can be effectively limited with usage data management and the directive and business
unit tools to manage consumption and drive out waste.
The ability to consume and associate usage data at the business unit or end-user level facilitates
self-management of resource consumption. This process requires a unique service asset identifier,
common in both the usage dataset and BluIQ, defined at the product level.
Before usage data can be consumed the data needs to be mediated. Usage data is typically captured from
a flat file or API. Data will inherently come in multiple formats and structures. The mediation engine
normalizes data into a single format to be processed for charging.
With large datasets, there are often exceptions where a conflict occurs between what in is BluIQ verses
usage data. In these cases, exception handling automation is required. Establishing exception rules
based on different use cases can automate most of the exception handling process, isolating the most
extreme cases for manual intervention, if needed.
Service asset identifiers can be managed both globally as part of an inventory of digital assets and at the
business unit or account level. An inventory of digital assets allows for assigning a digital asset as an
identifier at the order level to facilitate provisioning management or automation.

Organizations of all types struggle with information technology (IT) budgeting. This often happens
because the IT team doesn’t understand the budgeting process and the finance team doesn’t understand
IT. CFOs can remedy this disconnect by changing their organization’s approach to IT budgeting from
merely an annual “make it fit” exercise into a meaningful planning and ongoing management process.
The ability to associate the IT budget with business value begins with defining a business hierarchy, if
necessary, down to an individual user. Once the hierarchy is defined services can be associated at an
n-tier account or sub-account level. These accounts roll-up to stakeholder groups that evaluate IT’s role
in meeting business KPIs.
IT Management’s response to supporting goals and objectives would include enhancements and
additional services linked to business goals and objectives consumed by respective stakeholder group. IT
Managers making IT investments to achieve business stakeholder goals should be able to report on the
cost of those investments for each stakeholder group and the use or adoption of new services requested.
IT Managers should be able to easily budget for new and existing services based on projected
consumption by each stakeholder group. Stakeholder group leaders should be able to request a quote
from IT for projected resource utilization which in aggregate would inform the IT budget. Consumption
against budgeted services can then be managed against the budget forecast.
Defining annualized forecasted consumption provides IT Managers an important tool in negotiating with
vendors to drive down cost of consumption. Accurate forecasting provides additional opportunity to
drive down consumption cost in the form of paying vendors in advance for forecasted consumption.

To achieve GAAP compliance Shared Service organizations, charging for services in advance (annual),
cannot recognize the charges against a billing code, until the services are rendered. Revenue recognition
tools should be incorporated in this case to correctly recognize billing codes as payments allocated
against services rendered.
Most organizations have IT cost data mapped to an enterprise or general ledger. However, this data, in
and of itself, does provide a complete picture of the total cost of IT services.
Providing business stakeholders with tools to easily associate cost with value can be achieved by defining
services specific to stakeholder needs and charging based on use.
As with competitive commercial service offerings, Shared Services Organizations should deliver
transparency to business stakeholder in real-time through a customer portal. Customer portals should
be enabled to support a complete business process:
Quoting services
Ordering services
Managing charges and billing codes
Forecasting
Reconciliation
Reporting
Transparency
Business Stakeholder Transparency
Services are composed of products provided by internal and external sources. Controlling the cost of
these sources is the job of IT. Real-time visibility and tracking of cost is essential in a usage-based
economy.
BluIQ’s ability to capture source cost data and reconcile expected (contract) costs against vendor invoice
data provides easy invoice reconciliation.
Without the benefits of complete IT cost information, the discussion of IT strategy with business peers is
often about who has the right information, the value of technology and whether the business can trust
IT’s numbers. When there is no debate on the data, business units and IT can focus on making informed
decisions for the company related to establishing and maintaining an optimal portfolio of business
capabilities and their respective costs.
The aggregation, allocation and representation of IT costs against definitions of business-valued services
are critical to providing meaningful IT financial transparency to business leaders. Financial transparency
and cost detail are not the same thing. Most business leaders want to understand the cost of IT in terms
of business goods and services that they understand and care about — the remaining cost is too much
detail and transparency.
In this case, IT should focus on optimizing the cost of the product components that make up a service and
defining the service in the context of business value.

SSOs need to be agile enough to support all allocation methods to align with pricing, controlled by the
source. There is no question that usage based variable pricing is taking over most fixed price models.
These pricing models will continue to evolve, SSOs need the ability to adjust allocation methods based on
how they consume sourced resources.
BluLogix sees no additional complexity, or simplicity, for any allocation method. These allocation
methods, and variations of them, are predefined as an automated process with the variable being the
data that informs the process.

Allocation
BluLogix has observed that inability to support advanced allocation methods constrains an
organizations adoption of cloud and SaaS.

The growth in cloud services makes transparency, through measuring and managing software usage,
more complex and more critical. The Service Asset Management function must establish and maintain
visibility of all cloud services by measuring detailed functional and quantitative cloud services
consumption.
Without visibility of functionality consumed, and insight to identify optimization and rationalization
targets across the SaaS portfolio, potential to eliminate increases in cost and risk will be significantly
limited.
