With the changing IT landscape, it is a challenge to accurately predict IT demand and formulate the appropriate charging and pricing strategy to inculcate the “right” behavior in IT decisions to maximize margins.
Accurately assessing the demand for IT with a scalable supply, accompanied by a transparent charging and pricing mechanism is the key to determine IT contribution. Simplification and transparency are key to deliver, consume and price IT services. Defining the correct pricing and charging policies resilient to the changing IT landscape is the foundation to managing IT as a profit-center and considering it as a business partner.
