- Direct costs (clearly attributable to a specific service)
- Indirect costs (shared among multiple services)
- Trends in the provisioning costs for services
- Variable cost dynamics
- Estimates of how costs will change in the case of
- Increasing service demand
- Decreasing service demand
- Thresholds of service demand which require the service provider to make significant investments
- Estimates of how costs will change in the case of
- Service Value Potential (estimate of the price a customer is prepared to pay for the services)
- Competing alternatives and their prices
- Value of the service provider’s comparative advantages (e.g. unique knowledge of the customers’ business processes, security concerns)
- Costs for switching to competing service offerings
- Profitability
- Actual revenues from each service
- Profit margins for each service
