METRICS DRIVING THE COST OF ICT SERVICE PROVISION (ALLOCATIONMETRICS)Changes in the following high-level factors will have an influence on the cost of provision of ICT services. Forsome factors (e.g. PCs and Laptops, Number of Supported Sites, etc.) there is a direct influence. For otherfactors (e.g. Number of Employees, Number of Students) the impact on costs is more indirect. Changes inthese metrics can be used for justifying budget and headcount increases.
