Representative POMs are described for Funding Sources at each level of maturity.

1Initial

• Practice

  Obtain IT funding in an ad-hoc/reactive way from a central source.

  Outcome

  There is little understanding of IT funding except as a cost of doing business.

2Basic

• Practice

  Obtain funding from a single source (central allocation to IT).

  Outcome

  There is a central view of the funds allocated to IT.

  Metric

  % of IT operations funded a from central allocation.

3Intermediate

• Practice

  Obtain funding from multiple internal sources including central allocation and some BU funding (e.g. projects).

  Outcome

  Because funding is internal, the cost of funds is often linked to hurdle rates.

  Metric

  % of IT operations services funded by charge-back.

• Practice

  Fund some IT operations via charge-back to BUs.

  Outcome

  BUs begin to develop apprciation for the cost and value of services delivered (due to charge-back).

  Metric

  % of IT operations services funded by charge-back.

4Advanced

• Practice

  Obtain funding from multiple internal sources, including central allocation and a broad range of alternative BU funding (e.g. projects, support) in alignment with the anticipated benefits.

  Outcome

  For each initiative the costs of financing, e.g. opportunity cost, hurdle rates etc., and the anticipated benefits to be derived from these funds are known and understood.

  Metric

  % IT funding by source

5Optimized

• Practice

  Investigate funding from multiple sources, both internal and external.

  Outcomes

  • Capital costs are optimized.
  • Allocation taps into multiple sources of funding to ensure capital cost efficiency.

  Metric

  % of IT funds derived based on capital cost efficiency.
