Most organizations already allocate technology cost. The trouble starts when someone asks how the number was made.
Your cloud tool, IT cost platform and planning spreadsheet each tell a different story about the same money, and none of them reconcile.
Engineers and support teams are the biggest part of what technology really costs, yet most cost models and FinOps tools leave them out.
Without a clear trace, someone spends a week rebuilding the answer, and the business unit still doesn’t accept it.
If you can’t trace a number back to its source, nobody outside IT will trust it.
Builds the model and answers for it. Needs the lineage, an audit trail and a model they can change themselves without calling in a consultant.
Signs the recharge. Needs it to reconcile to the general ledger and hold up in an audit.
Answers for the total. Needs to know what each technical capability, service, application and business unit really costs.
Challenges the number. Needs to understand and trust the result rather than be told the answer.
All are asking for the same thing: a sound figure they can walk back to its origin.
The below capabilities work together here, along with Data Studio, Analytics and AI Studio included.
The market leading engine. Allocate any cost, on your framework or ours, with unlimited layers and All-Back tracing in both directions.
Ready-made for technology, with the TBM taxonomy, towers and the Bill of IT built in.

Your people in the same model. They’re the biggest technology cost, and the one most leave out.

All spend categories live in one model, so finance, IT and the business unit see all components in the view made for each of them.
The same engine allocates shared services such as HR, finance, logistics and property, and evolve to full product and customer costing.

Customer Journey costed
A global insurer combined Technology and Operations costs to price and optimize customer journeys, leveraging cost per claim, cost per policy renewed.
The TBM taxonomy supplies the towers and services definitions. The FinOps Framework and FOCUS shape how cloud cost comes in. MOTEF, the MagicOrange Technology Economics Framework, structures and converges all spend for normalization and insights.
