Technical white paper | Integrated Billing Solutions with HP CSA 4.00

Introduction

This document is intended to help solution developers create billing solutions using the subscription and resource

information in HP Cloud Service Automation (HP CSA). See the HP CSA Concepts Guide for an overview of HP CSA concepts.

Chargeback data from HP CSA is used to support internal or external billing functions. Elements of the data can include

infrastructure, application licensing, and network costs. The same information might be used for showback reports, allowing

an IT department to analyze usage without actually cross-charging costs.

Part 1. HP CSA Concepts

• Services HP CSA allows providers to define and offer catalogs of services they offer to their subscribers. These catalogs

include service offerings such as basic infrastructure services, application services, or complex services with configuration

management and performance monitoring.

•

Service Prices Providers can assign prices to service offerings. The price information can include both initial (start-up)

pricing and recurring costs. The prices can also be tied to the cost of subscriber-selected options, such as the number of

servers or the amount of storage.

Figure 2. Base Pricing Information

• Service Details When a subscriber selects an item from a service catalog, they can specify detailed information for their

order. This information includes:

– A subscriber-specified name for the order. If a billing solution is to track individual subscriptions, this would be the field

that could be recognized by a subscriber.
