Best Practices Guide to Allocating IT Costs

Author: Apptio

Logo

Expressing the fully-loaded cost of IT services, or expressing the cost burden placed on IT by various business units, inevitably leads to some decision-making around exactly how to assign the costs from one category or group to another category or group. Options abound, but which one to pick depends on several factors in play within the organization and has significant impact on the outcome. The allocation strategy will directly affect the "fairness" and accuracy of the allocated spend, and will drive different behavior of the consumers in their demand for IT Services. This whitepaper focuses on the prevalent cost allocation methodologies in practice, and offers guidance on which one is the best fit in any given context.
