The management of GNH AG recognized early on that in modern IT management the relationship between performance and value must be reprioritized. IT budgets should no longer be costs per se for GNH AG, but primarily resources to achieve goals. Every euro of budget used in North Hesse should prove its worth in the future and compete with each other. GNH AG initially used classic Excel sheets to achieve this goal. Achieving cost transparency with these “on-board tools” required a high manual-administrative effort, which also had to involve too many departments in terms of processes.
