Enterprise Allocation Modeling >

What does anything cost?

Transform cost from the general ledger to an outcome the business can understand and challenge.

TBM taxonomy and towers

Build with the full TBM taxonomy natively included, with cost pools, towers, services and consumers already linked.

Transparency like no other

View every dollar traced through any allocation model, from any point with All-Back. Link source general ledger through towers and services to the business units that consumed it. Complete visibility in one view.

Bill of IT

Create a granular, trusted and defendable Bill of IT with services consumed, unit costs, volumes and rate cards in a statement a business unit can read, challenge and trust, with finance review, sign-off, dispute resolution and a full audit trail.

Showback and chargeback

Run both side by side. Showback builds awareness without financial impact. Chargeback moves money.

General ledger journal posting

Post chargeback results into the general ledger, not just into an export or report that finance then transforms.

Application, AI and service TCO

Fully loaded total cost of ownership (TCO) per application and per service, including the labor, AI and data center cost that cloud tools cannot see.

Run, Grow, Transform

Classify your technology spend the way the board reads it. Highly extendable as your reporting requirements evolve and mature.

Rate cards

Pre-agreed fixed (standard) rates, markups and discounts, at any stage of your allocation model, that finance and technology have both signed off.

IT Financial Management Pathway

A staged capability path from your first model to full chargeback and benchmarking, building incremental value, not a big-bang implementation.
