Based on over one hundred unique simulations with actual customers, four key TCO/ROI
questions have emerged:
•
What will it cost to buy a proposed notebook solution?
•
What will it cost to own it over the life of the project?
•
What will it cost to deploy and decommission the units?
•
What value will be created for the organization?
Moving Beyond Guesstimates — Considering Costs and Value over a Lifetime
There is no such thing as an ‘average’ company, so an honest analysis uses actual corporate data
instead of industry ‘averages.’ Just because a device is the right choice for one company does not
make it the right choice for yours.
An effective simulation knows the costs of each competing device, the number of units and rate of
deployment. It calculates the cost of maintaining a solution, and establishes the value of productive
time using real Loaded Labor Rates or Revenue hours. It considers Buy vs. Lease questions and
can extrapolate how features will be used in the field.
