IAM Program Direct Cost

1.34

Direct Cost cost of the IAM Program.

Direct cost: cf. IAM Cost Measurement Methodology, IAM Cost Components.

Organizations typically run IAM programs. Such programs may have widely varying scopes between organizations and across time. Keeping track of the total direct costs of these programs is a critical managerial necessity.

Because IAM is composed of process clusters, it may be interesting to keep track of is interesting to allocate costs at both the global and cluster levels (providing that the organization does manage these clusters). The IAM TCO indicator is composed of the following series:

• IAM Program Cost = The direct cost of the overall IAM Program.

• Core IAM Program Cost = The direct cost of the core IAM Program.

• PAM Program Cost = The direct cost of the PAM Program.

• Federation IAM Program Cost = The direct cost of the Federation IAM Program.

• CIAM Program = The direct cost of the CIAM Program.

In large organizations where IAM is organized in regions or otherwise, the indicator may be measured at both global and regional levels.
