Abstract:
A system and method provide transparency of costs allocated to a unit of an organization. The method includes steps to receive asset information for an application at a cost transparency engine and identify a direct dependency of the application and an indirect dependency of the application using the asset information for the application. An infrastructure cost for the application is determined based on the direct dependency, the indirect dependency, component consumption by the application, and a unit cost of a service supporting the component. A report is generated, via a reporting tool, presenting the infrastructure cost for the application.
