1 Sample Information Technology Chargeback Service Catalog

2 SAMPLE IT CHARGEBACK SERVICE CATALOG Introduction This document is a sample IT Chargeback Service Catalog produced using the Swingtide methodology. It is intended to illustrate the structure of a Swingtide IT Chargeback Service Catalog at a high level, with examples provided for some sections and services. Some organizations prefer that their services be described technically (see the sample catalog entry for Unix application hosting on pp. 8-9, for example), while others prefer more fully loaded, transaction-based services (such as the description of the general ledger service on page 7). Describing services technically is the appropriate choice for organizations in which IT functions are distributed across business units. In such organizations the customer is often an IT expert who, because he or she is conversant with the technical issues surrounding the service being provided, usually prefers detailed technical descriptions and is able to use them to help manage business unit demand and set service expectations within the consuming entity. Organizations in which IT is entirely centralized sell their services directly to business customers, not to other IT professionals. Business customers generally prefer that IT services be described in a way that is understandable to them, without technical detail that does not contribute to their ability to plan costs and usage. The controlling principle here, as in so many other areas of business, is to view the process from the customer s point of view and frame the transaction in a way that he or she can understand and validate. The typical IT department will offer from twenty to sixty services, depending upon the complexity of infrastructure, the desire for granularity, and the diversity of customer. Some of the following sample entries include delta sections to illustrate the kinds of year-to-year updates that are typically made within an IT department that has used an Chargeback Service Catalog for more than a year. As an Chargeback Service Catalog matures, descriptions of services become more precise and detailed. Some of the sample service descriptions you see here may reflect a Year Two or greater maturity level. The Chargeback Service Catalog serves as the foundation for cost and service transparency. It delivers clear, coherent, and equitable chargeback (used for management reporting, demand management, and tax transfer pricing) and sets internal customers expectations, both service and process, to alleviate confusion and improve service. We believe that our Chargeback Service Catalog methodology is unsurpassed, and we look forward to discussing its applicability to your organization. In these initial discussions you may discover many additional unexpected benefits. For those who aspire to run IT as a business, and who understand the implications of failing to do so, an Chargeback Service Catalog is simply indispensable. 2

4 Information Technology Department 20XX Chargeback Service Catalog Following are IT s XX services for 20XX. Generally, they are consistent with the services offered in 20YY (the previous year). The attached mapping identifies the 20YY Service Name and the corresponding 20XX Service Name and highlights those that have been combined, eliminated or added. Service Type Descriptions Rate-Based Service Consulting Service Pass-Through Service A service where the cost pool is composed of IT staff, depreciation, third-party vendor charges, and IT overhead (e.g., facilities, human resources, and finance). These services lend themselves to being charged by a consumption-based usage unit, which represents a cost driver for the service. Each service or service tier is delivered uniformly (common service delivery, features, and functions) to every customer. A service where the cost pool is composed of IT staff, staff-related costs, and IT overhead (e.g., facilities, human resources, and finance). These services are billed based on actual time spent (hourly, daily, or monthly) by the staff on the specified work. Consulting and Rate-Based Services represent mutually exclusive work. A service with a cost pool that is composed primarily of vendor invoices or depreciation with no markup for IT staff or administration. Actual usage or invoicing will drive the charging of pass-through services. Each service includes a Billing and Administrative Guidelines Section, which should help in understanding how a service is initiated, charged, or discontinued. The Service Expectation, Minimum Charge, Minimum Increment and Co-requisite Services are also highlighted. Budgeting Guidelines are also provided. Questions can be directed to the service manager or billing contact identified on each page. The services are offered as described on each page. Components of any service are not priced separately. Use of any portion of any service will result in payment of the full rate for that service. Any IT service can be initiated through your [insert work intake process or liaison information].
