Applying a Cost to Service Level Agreements, Operating Level Agreements, and Underpinning Contracts

Friday, April 20th - 10:00AM

As IT organizations continue to mature, there is an increased need to identify the fully burdened cost of providing services. While many organizations think they are adept at determining the cost of providing a service, in many cases additional transparency is needed into the costs of meeting service level agreements and complying with operating level agreements and allocating the costs of underpinning contracts. Revealing the fully burdened costs for these agreements and proper allocation of costs for shared services provided by external vendors allows both IT and the business to make informed decisions about levels of service required to meet the needs of the customer. In this facilitated group discussion, we’ll discuss the importance of understanding the costs of service level and operating level agreements. We’ll explore the core components of the agreements and discuss how to assign costs to each component. We’ll consider some of the ways costs from suppliers can be allocated to the delivery of specific services. This is an opportunity to learn from your peers. You will learn about the core components to consider when applying a cost to service level, operating level agreements and vendor contracts, as well as, how other companies are assigning costs associated with these agreements.
