For many organisations, technology costs have become more complex than ever. With separate providers for IT support, cloud services, telecoms, and cybersecurity, it’s not unusual for finance teams to juggle multiple invoices, at different times, every month.
At Abacus, now part of IT.ie, We’ve found that the best solution is often the simplest and that’s why we introduced unified billing which allows us to combine all our services into a single monthly invoice.
Why Multiple Invoices Create Unnecessary Complexity
Fragmented billing doesn’t just create paperwork, it creates problems:
- Time wasted reconciling and processing multiple bills.
- Unclear visibility of total technology spend.
- Budgeting challenges, with costs scattered across different dates.
- Risk of missed payments or errors when invoices are overlooked.
This kind of inefficiency adds up, especially for busy SMEs trying to stay agile.
The Smarter Approach: One Bill, One Date
With unified billing, youl receive a single monthly invoice covering all your Abacus services. Whether it’s managed IT support, Microsoft 365 licences, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, or business telephony – everything is rolled into one easy-to-read statement.
In some cases, clients may have agreements for yearly billing – for example, committing to Microsoft 365 on an annual basis to avail of discounted rates. Where this applies, those services will still appear on your monthly invoice but listed at a zero sum. This ensures you always have a complete view of every service you receive from Abacus on one unified statement.
The Benefits for Your Business
- Save valuable admin time – Streamline approvals and reduce repetitive processing.
- Improve transparency – Gain a clear, consolidated view of your technology costs.
- Enhance cashflow management – Predictable monthly billing makes forecasting easier.
- Increase accountability – One provider, one invoice, one point of contact.
- Support sustainability – Fewer documents and more streamlined digital invoicing.
In Step with Modern IT Delivery
The way businesses consume technology has changed. Most services, from cloud software to security tools, are delivered as subscriptions. Unified billing aligns with this model, giving you a consistent, predictable approach to managing IT costs.
More Than Just Billing
This move is part of a wider effort to deliver a more seamless client experience as Abacus integrates with IT.ie. It’s not only about simplifying payments – it’s about removing friction across your entire IT journey, so you can focus on running your business.
At Abacus Systems, we want managing IT to be as straightforward as using it. Unified monthly billing is a small change with a big impact: less admin, more clarity, and a smarter way to manage your technology investment.
