@David-
I am the IT@Intel Community manager. I checked with one of the key finance guys who worked on the performance report. Here is their answer to your question:
The costs reported in the IT Annual report included all IT Headcount and Spends associated with our annual budgets. This also included the annual depreciation for past capital purchases. It includes both our R&D as well as our sustaining.
As mentioned there are Depreciation expenses in the number, but it is really a small portion (~8%) of our budget. The Balance is Cash.
Per our agreement with Corporate accounting we allocate all IT costs back to the rest of the corporation.
Looking through the IT Performance Report, I didn't find a contact for questions. Some of these are as basic as to how was the line drawn for the cost of IT reported in the report, (IT Support vs IT R&D or other?) How were IT projects accounted for (cash - accrual? Are the amounts material?) What about chargeback methods or cost of services (ITIL?)
