Webinar Clip:
The Dichotomy of IT Finance:
Cost Transparency vs. Corporate Accounting Policies
Overview
Does your IT Finance group find itself caught between business units wanting more transparency and corporate accounting not changing its allocation method? It isn't necessary to abandon your current allocation methods or to have pristine consumption data. Business partners are more likely to engage if shown the benefits of cost transparency. This clip shows you the initial steps towards transparency with basic allocation models (tactical approach), as well as how to transition to a more mature consumption-driven allocation model (strategic approach).
This short webinar clip is cut from the webinar titled, "Basic Allocation of IT Costs: Pros and Cons." If you'd like to see the entire webinar, please register in the box at the right. You can also register for the remainder of the 12-part Apptio educational webinar series, "Understanding and Leveraging IT Financial Transparency to Improve Business Alignment."
