What can you do to prepare for this rate change?
WaTech understands some of these rate increases will directly affect agencies that consume the services above.
We offer the following to assist in identifying the potential impacts so agencies can make data driven decisions:
- We have provided an estimated cost impact, by agency, detailing your current cost and the estimated costs going forward using the new rates.
- If you need further detail on technology billing, you can use Apptio to pull your inventory of current services to help you determine ways you can reduce IT usage/spend.
- Agencies can also review your current inventory, work with WaTech service owners to research, and possibly reduce the amount of services consumed to mitigate the financial affect to your agency.
Who can you contact if you have questions?
- If you have questions around the rate increases please contact your assigned Customer Account Manager or our WaTech Support Center
- If you have questions around technology billing or reporting tools, please contact WaTech's Technology Billing Team.
