Technology economics for CFO and IT Finance
Show which activities consume technology spend and what changes if you switch it off.
Allocate application, contract and people costs through activities and processes to business capabilities, while keeping the architecture and financial assumptions traceable.
EA + ABC/CBC
Archilu EA + ABC/CBC extends Enterprise Architecture with activity- and capability-based cost allocation. It is for CFO, FinOps and IT Finance teams that need to explain technology consumption in business terms, not sell ABC as a disconnected product.
From €29,900/year
What is blocking the decision
Application cost is visible, but the business consumption behind it is not.
Shared contracts and people costs are allocated with opaque spreadsheets.
Shutdown scenarios cannot show which activities and capabilities are affected.
What you see on Monday
Application and contract costs connected to transparent allocation drivers.
A roll-up from activity and process to capability and organizational scope.
A scenario showing financial and architectural impact if an application is retired.
Video script ready; recording pending
From application cost to business consumption
Follow one application cost through a driver to activities and capabilities, then test a shutdown scenario.

Questions buyers ask
- Can we buy ABC without Enterprise Architecture?
- No. Cost allocation depends on the governed enterprise graph, so ABC/CBC is offered only with Enterprise Architecture.
- Which costs can be allocated?
- The target model covers application, contract, supplier and people/time inputs using explicit drivers agreed during onboarding.
- Does Archilu replace the finance ledger?
- No. Financial systems remain systems of record; Archilu explains how technology cost is consumed across the enterprise graph.
- Can we model a shutdown scenario?
- Yes, when the required cost and dependency data is available: the scenario can show both allocation changes and impacted activities or capabilities.
Technical note: allocations follow governed graph relationships, including derived architecture objects, but finance users work from cost drivers and business consumption rather than modelling notation.
Availability of each allocation source and scenario is confirmed during scope; no unstable costing capability is represented as live without validation.
