What is Total Cost of Impact?

Total Cost of Impact (TCI) is a lifecycle-based decision model that assesses the cost, risk, and value of technology before investment decisions are made. It helps organizations understand the long-term impact of technology across four areas: 

  • Financial
  • Operational
  • Security and compliance
  • Environmental and social impact

How TCI works

By assessing the lifecycle impact of technology investments and the operating environment in which they operate, TCI helps organizations:

  • Speed up decision-making
  • Maximize technology's lifecycle value
  • Identify hidden costs and risks earlier
  • Make more resilient investment decisions

The impact gap

We surveyed 1,000 senior technology leaders across 13 major global markets. Our findings reveal a gap between the value organizations expect technology to deliver and the criteria used to make investment decisions.
