3 abstract Robert E Stroud CGEIT CRISC IT Professionals owen think of metrics as a means of measuring system performance, owen without a relaaonship to how those metrics are used to run the business. In this presentaaon, you will learn how to understand the business connecaon to IT metrics, how to idenafy what metrics are meaningful and appropriate, and the use of a suitable proxy for Service Management. This includes a review of how other technology industries use proxies for service measurement, management, capacity planning, and finance. 3 June 5, 2013
4 agenda Current industry trends and IT business model Analysis and discovery of services, metrics, and cost models How other industries calculate service costs and use proxies 4 June 5, 2013
5 current industry trends 5 June 5, 2013
6 what is changing? Top Issues for Enterprise IT in SHARE Survey 1. IT Cost Management 2. VirtualizaAon 3. Improving IT s value and deriving compe;;ve advantage from IT 4. Enterprise security 5. The aging and demographics of current IT staffs 6. Business conanuity planning 7. Cloud compu;ng 8. Regulatory compliance 9. ReinvigoraAng/repurposing the mainframe 10. Data center energy management SHARE conducted the survey of more than 160 of IBM s top customers to review the current state of enterprise IT in terms of where companies are putting the most resources and focus. Results of the study provide industry analysis to help SHARE better shape its programs and events for the greater member and enterprise IT community. The information also provides valuable insights to IBM and ISVs (independent software vendors) about issues that concern their customers the most. The survey was conducted during June and July June 5, 2013
7 do you have an answer to these typical ques;ons? A department head is dispuang the IT cost allocaaon and looking for alternaave suppliers A large outsourcer offers a proposal to outsource the service at $x per mailbox The CFO issues a noace of budget reducaon of five percent What is your most expensive service? You are reading about SaaS market rates and do not know your per unit cost, much less if it is compeaave What is your cost of running a report? 7 June 5, 2013
8 a simple business model $6 per kg 2 ½ Oranges per glass $50 per round 1 delivery per day $250 per year $50 per hour Ø What is the cost of delivering this? Ø What is the business value? Ø What is a fair price here? Should we charge per orange? Ø How is the service delivered? Do we need a model? $1200 per year 8 June 5, 2013
9 how it might look for IT... SoWware $6 per kg and plagorms 2 ½ Oranges per glass $50 Development per round 1 delivery per day $250 Running per IT year $50 Gold per hour 24/7 delivery Ø What is the cost of delivering this? Ø What is the business value? Ø What is a fair price here? Should we charge per orange? orange? Ø How is the service delivered? Do we need a model? $1200 Bronze per year 9-5 delivery 9 June 5, 2013
10 IT cost management, business value, fair price and transparency what do we need to know? What is the cost of delivering a service? What is the business value of a service? How is the service delivered, what are the components? How can we determine a fair price of a service? What are the units of measurement we use for our cloud service? Note: may be different for operaaonal performance and service billing 10 June 5, 2013
11 what is needed? How to define Services and Service Components? How to align these defininaons to a Cost model How can we use that cost model transparent IT Cost Model as well as the contractual obligaaons Project Licenses Hardware Service Desk Staff Service QA & Processes FaciliAes Customer Overhead Security 11 June 5, 2013
12 business blueprint for IT Virtually every product today has a service component to it. Many products are being transformed into services (servi;za;on of products). This is also true for IT. To understand how IT creates, delivers and captures value we need a Business Blueprint for IT mapping the service economy allowing us to do both full cost accounang as well as understand all contractual obligaaons. Full cost accounang is usually considered to be impossible to achieve without a good model of the service economy. Supplier IT Services Business Services UC OLA SLA Service Component Service Customer Supplier Service Component Service Cost Revenue Service Component 12 June 5, 2013
13 analysis and discovery 13 June 5, 2013
14 categories and alloca;on of IT costs Capital Investments Fixed assets, property, plant, and equipment Expenditures in maintenance, operaaons, systems, and equipment costs Can be challenging for businesses to allocate. There is owen a lack of effecave metrics There is a need for a method to allocate costs based on consumpaon by specific business units 14 June 5, 2013
15 what is service usage? Technical Metrics can be collected for: System usage Storage volume Network traffic Database size But to the internal consumer, external customer, or business manager, how do these relate to a specific service or even an applicaaon? Use a suitable proxy for the alloca;on of IT usage. Will enable the IT provider the capability to pass on their capital and operaaonal cost, plus a profit (if required), in an easy- to- sell package
16 common suitable proxies Airline charges are flat rate based on a route There is an internal metric called cost per available seat mile Electric power industry charges Kilowa. hour Car rental business Time metric rent by the day or week Distance metric mileage charge How many people have rented a car with a rate based on measurement of average engine RPMs? 16 June 5, 2013
17 Real requirement from the field The customer would like to charge his users of a cloud service based on CPU, memory and hard disk used. How can we take in feeds collected on resource ualizaaon and build the invoice? QuesAons: How do we calculate CPU usage of a cloud service to a user? Is it percentage of ualizaaon? CPU Ame? CPU thread count? What is memory usage? It is memory ualizaaon? Memory usage per process? What is the business relevance for this metrics in context of the consumer? 17 June 5, 2013
18 Amazon Elas;c Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) how they are defined and measured Amazon sells their EC2 Plagorm by the instance Large Instance 7.5 GB memory 4 EC2 Compute Units (2 virtual cores with 2 EC2 Compute Units each) 850 GB instance storage I/O Performance: High Amazon EC2 Compute Unit The amount of CPU that is allocated to a paracular instance One EC2 Compute Unit provides the equivalent CPU capacity of a GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor 18 June 5, 2013

20 discovery and analysis Define your metrics or resource units Specific units of measurement for each service must be meaningful and appropriate to the business TIP: find a suitable proxy Determine your allocaaon method Best pracace keep it simple! SubscripAon based flat rate, Aered rate Usage based quanaty Ames price AllocaAon based assigned, weighted distribuaon Determine the appropriate data source Does the data exist in usable form? 20 June 5, 2013
21 challenges to success An organizaaon may not know their service definiaons No visibility into service costs, or an a.empt to make their cosang model too simple or too complicated An a.empt to use operaaonal or performance metrics when you should be looking at usage metrics QuanAty of help desk calls vs. first call resoluaon Technology someames gets in the way of any meaningful metric grouping Example: it can be difficult to calculate network bandwidth usage a.ributable to an individual user with an IP address obtained via DHCP 21 June 5, 2013
22 how do other industries calculate their service costs and suitable proxies? 22 June 5, 2013
