I really like the better visibility into the true costs. Too many times in the past, a team had a budget for the software they needed to deploy a project, but the Virtualization software, storage array, etc, were all out of the IT budget. that makes the IT budget look bloated, and hard to explain, and ripe for being seen as a 'cost center'.
- mc32 8y agoThat’s too bad and unfortunate of some companies who see IT as a black hole. Imagine having an R&D dept which could incur lots of costs and little result individually but as a group produce good licensable IP. Sometimes you have to realize some things are a cost of doing business.
- scarface74 8y agoIt's not that they don't realize it. The R&D department doesn't have to be accountable for costs. The R&D department isn't incentivized to control costs because it isn't our problem. Proper tagging of resources shines a light on the R&D department and the business knows exactly what our projects' infrastructure cost is.
