Director of Engineering Carrie Oakey has to budget for IT usage for her department. She knows her department uses the most IT

resources and her budget for IT has to be larger than other departments. Understanding this allows her to manage her IT usage

options to reduce her costs, such as she may decide to use desktop systems rather than laptops because the unit charge is

less. Carrie Oakey knows this is the most equitable way but she also knows it is difficult to collect all the usage details. The data

collected can become quite large and complex.

What IT funding method does her company use?

Corporate budgeting

Chargeback

Allocation
