What Does IT Really Cost: Managing Cost With ABC & TCO
Overview From a strategic cost management perspective, the IT environment is very unique. There are several IT financial planning & charge-back mechanisms that can be used based on variable service levels options, technology refreshment life-cycles, allocation based and usage based cost models to manage cost. The Activity Based Costing (ABC) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) benchmarking approaches offers excellent insight into business processes and levels of service which will help improve efficiencies and effectiveness. They can also identify business process improvements through root-cause analysis which can translate into cost reductions and/or service level enhancements. The presenter of this webcast will explain how TCO can optimize cost of the technology refreshment life-cycle and how ABC can reduce costs through better IT financial planning.
