The metrics behind each lens
The most commonly used IT financial metrics for reading a budget this way — the same ones underpinning Gartner's IT Key Metrics research and the TBM Council's own KPI (Key Performance Indicator) library. Every one below is computed directly from what you entered above; nothing here is illustrative or approximated.
| Metric | Lens | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Spend vs. plan (budget variance) | Board, CFO | Whether the organisation is tracking to its committed number, and where the gap is concentrated (CAPEX or OPEX). |
| Spend by business area (Global/Internal IT vs. Corporate Support vs. Revenue Units) | Board, CIO | How much of total spend is the IT function's own operating cost, versus non-revenue support consumption, versus revenue-generating delivery. |
| Run / Grow / Transform split (TCO) | CFO | Whether the portfolio is weighted towards keeping the lights on or building new capability — computed bottom-up from every ledger line's tag, across CAPEX and OPEX together. |
| Global IT spend by TBM cost pool | CFO | The composition of Global IT's own budget across all nine standard TBM cost pools — labour, hardware, software, outside services and more. |
| Global IT spend by IT tower | CIO | Which of the 11 standard TBM towers (within Global IT) is over or under plan, and by how much. |
| Tech spend as % of revenue | CFO, Board | Normalises IT investment against the size of the business, so it can be benchmarked against sector peers rather than judged in isolation. |
Metric definitions align with the TBM Council's published Taxonomy v4.0 and KPI library, and Gartner's IT Key Metrics Data research programme. Industry revenue benchmarks aggregated from published cross-industry IT-spend studies (see sources in the site footer). Used for illustrative purposes only.
