Market Drivers
The CIO paradox: growing IT budgets, but often
insufficient cost control
• Business units demand cost transparency and want a greater say in influencing their IT cost baseline.
• IT costs are perceived as a black box and not directly linked with the business KPIs.
• Given the likely mix of legacy and cloud-based solutions, CIO need to deal with an increasingly complex IT budget that
requires improved cost management solutions and processes.

Financial Performance Management
BearingPoint client decided to set-up a new organization at corporate level in order to deliver IT services. To address this new scope
and to support growth, this new organization has to refine its model in terms of delivery and management processes (including
financial management processes).
Business needs
The group started transforming its IT management
model in order to consolidate and optimize IT
services and to allow brands to focus on their own
core business
Different processes, models and tools were used by
brands’ former IT departments
Project’s main objective was to define common
financial processes (budgeting, execution and
chargeback), model and tools
Our approach
As-is assessment (technology, process and
organization) and brainstorming to define target
financial management key principles
Design key processes: budget elaboration, cost
execution and follow-up, pilot and control, IT service
chargeback and catalog mgt.
Definition of master data align with management
needs for reporting
Catalog design, service cost, chargeback model
• Harmonized billing work units and chargeback
principles
• Cost model principles
Target financial tool scenarios
Client’s results
A share IT budget process for all countries and
regions in line with purchase order validation process
A common way to pilot and control all IT
expenditures at group level
A new economic model to support service catalog
and associated chargeback principles

Design of an IT cost allocation and budgeting model
BearingPoint supported the client to design and implement an optimized IT cost allocation and budgeting model (IT operational
planning, IT finance planning)
Business needs
A major transformation from a technology-based
operation to a service-based organization confronted
the client with several challenges:
• Out-dated service definitions: disconnect between
business view (demand) and IT view (supply)
• Current cost allocation model did not correspond
with new delivery model
• Opaque and inflexible cost structure to respond to
fluctuating demand
• Cost allocation was opaque and not based on real
use
BearingPoint was asked to support the client with the
development of a new IT service costing framework
Our approach
Revision of IT service catalog
• Clean up of existing service catalog
• Separation of IT service (business) view and IT
product (delivery) view
• Bundling of IT products to IT services
• Development and implementation of a new
governance layer for IT service management
Design of new cost allocation model
• Definition of planning elements, principles and rules
• Development of allocation principles; applied
sign-off distribution keys
• Collection of total cost and re-allocation according
to new model
Rollout of a new planning and budgeting process
Client’s results
Operational planning, financial planning and
controlling are based on an agreed service catalog
Cost drivers can be identified and optimized
High transparency of personnel resource utilization:
• Over and under-utilizations are visible
Consistent budgeting process
• Transparent cost allocation
Consumption-based charging, flexible response to
fluctuations in demand
Increase in understanding of business needs, e.g.
higher service levels during contract renewal season
