Abstract

Organizations may greatly benefit from utilizing shared services in cloud-based settings, including increased operational effectiveness and cost savings. Nevertheless, efficiently allocating the costs related to these shared services can take time and effort. This article strives to navigate the complex world of cloud resource management alongside asserting the significance of understanding the notion of Shared Services Cost Allocation, or SSCA. It examines the many benefits of implementing a clear SSCA model, highlighting how it may promote better cost transparency, increase team accountability, and enable data-driven decision-making throughout the company. This article also explores other approaches to cost allocation, including equal split, proportionate allocation based on utilization, and proportional allocation based on other factors, outlining the benefits and drawbacks of each in different situations. It also highlights how crucial cooperation is between various stakeholders, such as finance, IT, and individual teams, in creating and sustaining an effective and long-lasting SSCA model. The paper highlights the critical role that efficient SSCA plays in optimizing cloud service ROI and advancing businesses toward their strategic objectives.
