Definitions
- This invention generally relates to methods for calculating costs attributed to the use of computing equipment and services.
- this invention relates to the costs of providing and maintaining computing services and methods to analyze those costs.
- TCO Total Cost of Ownership
- the invention includes a method for determining the cost per user of an information technology system.
- the method includes obtaining base costs, ongoing direct costs, and ongoing indirect costs.
- the method further includes gathering information relating to user profiles and organizational characte ⁇ stics. These costs and information are input mto a computer program to determine the cost for each user.
- the invention includes a method for analyzing the costs associated with supporting an information technology system.
- the method includes obtaining cost information and system characte ⁇ stics.
- Appraisal metncs are calculated based on the cost information and system characte ⁇ stics.
- the metncs may be compared against established benchmarks.
- This invention defines both metncs used to measure the costs associated with distributed computing when performing a TCO analysis, as well as metncs used to evaluate the operations effectiveness and efficiency Where possible, the metncs are referenced to IT organizational functions in order to define precisely potential added value.
- One application of this invention is to provide a TCO framework aligned as far as possible with the Management of Distnaded Environments (MODE) framework (an IT organizational framework commercially available from MODE).
- MODE Distnaded Environments
- Another useful aspect of this invention is a set of metrics that give a holistic view of the TCO. These metncs enable comparative studies and benchmarking, as well as assessing the impact of possible changes and determining improvement opportunities through MODE's best practices implementation.
- FIG 1 shows a representation of one embodiment of the method of the present invention DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
- the TCO analysis becomes part of any Information Systems (IS) organization's continuous process of measurement, improvement and resource planning; it enables the simulation of improvement plans for asset changes, best practice implementation and complexity reductions
- IS Information Systems
- the initial step is to categonze the costs according to the MODE framework, or any other IT organizational framework implemented m an enterpnse's IT systems.
- this mvention is descnbed m terms of the MODE framework
- the costs may be categorized according to the IT framework which is described in co-pending application No , entitled Organization of Information Technology Functions, by Dove et al . which was filed October 6, 2000, which is herein incorporated by reference.
- the costs have to be "standardized," l e., put under a format that allows one to compare the data elements with others and do benchmarking to depict typical values for each data element and metric
- appraisal metrics will tally key staffing ratios, activity person hours, help desk performance metrics, and end user satisfaction metrics to provide the client with a complete perspective of its actual position and potential evolution
- Benchmarks are considered to carry out a consistent evaluation of an enterprise's position that also give insight to improvement initiatives Actual and typical values for all the metrics and data elements, with all the relevant assumptions required to understand those values, are developed by experience in evaluating IT systems. The benchmarks are useful for an Opportunity/problem analysis.
- BASE COSTS and ONGOING COSTS have been considered and have been adopted to categonze both one off investment and costs incurred through ongoing operations. Only the ONGOING COSTS will be aligned to the MODE framework, since MODE'S added value pnncipally lies m the potential changes that have to be made.
- the BASE COSTS measure the one off costs of implementing the base
- the ONGOING COSTS measures the total amount of expense since the IT Infrastructure has been running.
- the costs are catego ⁇ zed as direct and indirect costs.
- the direct costs are the day-to-day operational costs such as maintenance, support, momtonng etc.
- the indirect costs pertain to the unbudgeted costs that are caused either by downtime or end-user inefficiency at work
- the Direct Costs that refers to the Ongoing expenses of running IT operations, are hard factual costs, whereas the Indirect costs are often related as "soft" costs, because they are more subjective (i.e., it is difficult to measure them in a consistent way).
- TCO Dnvers like Enterpnse profile (industry or business type, world-wide geographic location, enterpnse size, end users type), Technology volume and type (servers, Client computers-mobiles + desktops- pe ⁇ pherals, network), Management Practices (Technology, Process, People), Complexity (IS organization, IS processes and service, end-user organization, hardware and software) are "tuning" the average typical values collected in benchmarking databases. These factors must be related as assumptions when compa ⁇ ng data in order not to come to wrong conclusions.
- Cost metncs can be denved straight forwardly from the costs elements, when associating the costs to another quantities (number of employees, number of desktops, etc.), which allows one to compare the TCO of vanous companies without having to make conversions.
- Metncs are also helpful to provide the decision makers with a holistic view of the TCO. There are not only quantitative metncs, but also qualitative metncs, that examine the global performance of a company, and tend to determine its profile. Several appraisal metncs are defined that are categonzed according to three different areas:
- IEP-Th ⁇ s area looks at the system's future and scalability.
- the appropnate MODE function For each metric developed, the appropnate MODE function is allocated. category referenced, the parameters descnbed, how to compute it (construction and formula) and possibly its benchmark. Then the different relations that exist between all the appraisal metncs are detailed in order to make their interpretation easier and thus allowing to perform a better opportunity study.
- the TCO metncs are aimed at not only reporting the costs of a distnaded environment, but also give a holistic view of its components.
- the first step is to measure the costs, and then to see where they stem from, identify the factors of influence for each cost areas, the correlation between the metncs. and try to assess the impacts of change (management, technology) withm the IT organization The completion of this step will allow for assessment of opportunities agamst different plausible ⁇ os.
- One embodiment of the method of the present mvention is represented m Figure 1.
- a senes of cost data about a particular aspect of an information technology system is gathered.
- the cost data includes base costs (10), ongoing direct costs (12), and ongomg indirect costs (14), which are input into a cost data array (16).
- Infrstructure and evolution charactenstics (22) are obtained and input mto an IEP metncs array (28)
- Specific cost information from the cost data array (16) is input mto the FP metncs array (24) and used for calculating certain FP metrics
- the data is used to calculate cost information which is used to generate a summary report (30) of the total cost of ownership.
- the cost data and the metrics are used to generate functional category detail reports and benchmark analyses (32). These reports and analyses break down the cost information and appraisal metncs according to the IT organizational functional categones to which that information corresponds.
- the cost detail and appraisal metncs are broken out and provided in separate reports relating to service management (34), systems management (36), service planning (38), and managing of change (40)
- the definitions and formulas used to calculate these cost data and metncs are provided in the detailed desc ⁇ ption which follows.
- the formulas can be programmed on a computer, such as in a spreadsheet (e g., Excel), to calculate the costs and metncs and display or pnntout reports
- the cost categories are to be as precise and detailed as possible so that benchmarks from external data providers can be referenced
- the costs are preferably evaluated on an annual basis, for the BASE costs as well as the ONGOING costs. Each time when necessary the life-cycle and depreciation of capital expenditures will have to be detailed and the global labor costs for a given time pe ⁇ od annuahzed.
- Base costs include 1) Design; 2) Acquisition Costs; and 3) Installation Costs.
- Ongoing costs include 1) Direct Costs; 2) Systems management - aligned to MODE'S System's Management
- the base costs are descnbed m detail below
- the base costs are identified by "Cost Data" designations CD1 through CD 15 , which are depicted in Fig 1

- SLAs Service Level Agreements
- OLAs Operating Level Agreements
- This cost category refers to the hardware and software purchases. In order to compare these costs to industry averages, these costs are typically Capital Costs which are annuahzed, and we also have to consider the hardware value depreciation according to the life-time of the each component Different

- indirect costs CD40-CD44
- the direct costs are the budgeted costs to maintain and optimize the availability of key network resources, manage the system and implement the changes, and support the network users.
- the indirect costs are expenses that are not budgeted and often not accounted for in most of the IT organizations. These hidden costs make the true costs of IS systems underestimated, because the impact of downtime - which is a crucial factor increasing the overall costs - is too often not measured.
- the catego ⁇ es tend to match the MODE framework.

These costs are labor costs associated with the development of change control strategies and migration control (move from the development environment to the test and finally the production environment), and outsourced management fees such as strategic and tactical consulting.
- CD27 costs relate to asset management.
- Asset management is mventoned here because it is necessary to know what exists before implementing a change.

- the annual labor expenses associated with the development and customization of non-busmess applications (Notes scnpts, etc.), the unnecessary changes to their computer or network settings (screen, file organization, folder, sounds, pnnters, etc ), and the time spent on playing games or web surfing
- Downtime expenses are defined as a potential annual loss due to the unavailability of the IT Infrastructure due to faults, and its impact as measured as loss of productivity.
- Downtime can be either due to the waiting for a help desk problem to be resolved, to an infrastructure issue (planned maintenance), or unplanned failures (application bugs or inaccessibility, network outages, etc.), for example.
- CD43 costs relate to planned downtime.
- CD44 costs relate to unplanned downtime.
- the unplanned network outages are almost always obtained from end user surveys.
- the appraisal metncs are intended to be key performance indicators for IT operations as a measurement and assessment tool for the TCO, to evaluate and monitor its effectiveness. Different areas, divided mto sections, have been distinguished to facilitate the comprehension and the use of all the metncs along the analysis. The comparison with available market data should allow then to elaborate best practices.
- the parameters involved are preferably must be homogeneous, i.e., each parameter has to be measured within the same time penod. The time period is taken to be equal to one year.
- the metrics are categonzed as follows:
- metncs are constructed according to the same template.
- This template defines the name of the metnc and gives it a number, provides the MODE functions that are involved, indicates the parameters that are involved, how to compute them, the objective of each metnc and additional comments.
- TCO by the budgeted TCO for the last financial year.
- the actual cost should not go over the budgeted cost, and should not be more than 5% less than the budgeted cost (otherwise the budget would be badly managed).
- This metnc is actually an aggregation of several metrics, each being a ratio between different areas of the ongoing costs.
- the areas considered are support, systems management, change and upgrades, and indirect costs.
- Direct Costs (measure 1) - the sum of all costs related ⁇ (CD16+...+CD39)...$.
- Indirect Costs (measure 2) - the sum of all costs related ⁇ (CD40+ ... +CD44) ... $ .
- this metric is an aggregation of two metrics that intend to define the importance of the labor costs for the TCO as well as outsourcing trends.
- This ratio can be used to compare similar industry companies to determine industry trends in the way that some IT operations are outsourced Sources such as Gartner Group provide information about outsourcmg trends that can be used for benchmarking
- the metncs in this area measure the performance of the business, focusing on system and operations quality, availability, and efficiency Quality
- OEEI-A Number of Faults per User
- This metric e ⁇ understandes the global systems performance required by company business needs.
- the systems overall performance will be rated from 1 to 5, according to both technology efficiency (bandwidth available, file transfer speed, storage capacity) and fault tolerance and recovery (e.g., banks are very sensitive to downtime); basic technology and great fault tolerance; medium technology and great fault tolerance; medium technology and little fault tolerance; high technology and little fault tolerance; high technology and no fault tolerance.
- OEE1-C Physical and Logical Security Rating
- This metric evaluates the performance of the system in terms of security. The rating, going from 1 to 5, allows to indicate how important security is to the company, and then to assess the budget that could be spent on this area. For a given rate and according to the industry sector, benchmarks concerning budgets allocated to security may be available; system not secured; system poorly secured; system globally secured; system well secured; and system highly secured.
- This metric measures both the call reloggmg rate and abandonment rate at the Help Desk.
- the average response time metnc determines the average time it takes the support organization to respond to an incident or problem. Normally, response time is defined as the time from the support organization first being aware of the incident or problem to the time at which the first action is taken (usually informing or giving status to users) It may be divided into further metncs based on the cnticality of the requests (low, medium, high, c ⁇ tical).
- the average resolution time is the measure of the time from an incident or request being reported to the time at which it is resolved.
- an incident is an occurrence-system error or malfunction-that requires assistance from the support organization, whereas a request refers to an action that a user asks to be performed that is usually related to network/workstation administration or software/hardware changes.
- metnc can be considered according to the defined cnticality of the incident or request.
- Metric objective and additional comments This metric measures the average time to deliver desktop services, from the order to the end of the installation, including the delivery and configuration. It allows to determine the flexibility of the system and its ability to administrate the users
- This metnc measures both the rate of ongoing systems operations covered by SLAs as the actual performance of these operations agamst the SLAs
- This area looks at the scalability of the infrastructure and at how sustainable the performances are likely to be m the future.
- This measure rates the upgradeabihty of the system's technology from 1 to 5. depending on the different technologic features of the system, gives the number of different platforms operated and the system ' s like span to assess the system ' s flexibility.
- the objective could be to determine if the WAN bandwidth utilization is withm a certain range and if it is not. the extent and frequency with which it is out of range This also allows to see the supportable traffic increase on the network
- IEP2-B End-user Staff Growth or Attrition
- Support Costs per FTE since the Support Costs are labor costs that are at least partly performed by employees of the company
- One metric can be similarly influenced by another metnc, i.e.. its value is partly determined by another metric' s value.
- Two metncs can have a complementary relationship, i.e., their vanations should be correlated.
- Two metncs can have a trade-off relationship, i.e., if the value of one metnc increases, the value of the other should tend to decrease.
- metncs For each metnc, the related metncs as well as the nature of their relationships is provided in the Tables below. All the metncs except those related to Infrastructure and Evolution Perspective, i.e., metncs IEP2-B, C and D, have relationships with other metncs, and often there are cross-categories relationships.
- OEE3-C Help Desk call handling rate Is influenced by OEEl-A
- the value for the appraisal metrics is in companng them in time v. ith previous calculated metncs for a system, or in comparing them with predetermined benchmarks. For some metrics there are no given benchmarks, but rather expected value ranges, which allows to include values for different industry types in the same table. Of course, other benchmark values may be used for specific industries, and for specific experiences with certain IT organization configurations. In Table 33 below, some exemplary benchmarks are provided.
