What are the benefits of IT cost allocation?
The key item here really is linking the consuming business units with the technology or the IT department, really bridging the gap between the two so that technology can align with the business strategy that exists within the organization.

One of the common items we see is buying a laptop either from Best Buy or from something like Dixon’s or Incredible Connection, depending on where in the world you are. Typically, the cost of that laptop will appear to be quite expensive, but what the IT cost allocation helps with is understanding that all of those products and services are packaged together and include many different aspects and components like security, network, and patching on a particular laptop. All of those come together in terms of a cost allocation that can then help the business understand how they are consuming and using those particular products and services.
