Charging
Description
Description
After defining the accounting system, charging can be planned.
Charging must be considered as easy, understandable and realistic.
The leading IT- and business managers are responsible for defining Charging Policy.
Another important aspect is pricing for the IT services.
There is a wide range of pricing methods, such as:
* cost (full cost, marginal cost): price = cost
* cost-plus: price = cost * x
* going rate: The price is comparable with other internal departments within the organisation or with similar organisations.
* market price (what the market will bear): The price is the same that charged by external suppliers.
* fixed price (target run): The organisation sets a price upon negotiation with the customer for a set period, based upon a predicted consumption.
