This IDC PlanScape explores why unit-based costing is important, what it is, who the stakeholders are, and how an IT organization, in close partnership with the business, can exploit it to optimize IT performance. "For the IT function to operate and compete as a digital business, IT can emulate the best practices of the great SaaS companies and FinOps leaders. From a cost and performance management perspective, this requires excellence in performing unit-based costing to link costs to business outcomes," says Robert Multhaup, adjunct research advisor for IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).
