A TCO Analysis provides a side-by-side comparison of the total cost of ownership associated with all valid solution scenarios. Tradeoffs between different implementation scenarios, and the differences in total costs associated with each, can be evaluated in context. The analysis looks at the entire project plan, from pilot to phased subsequent rollout(s) in stages. It illustrates how costs can be minimized at a defined point, yet yield improvements in deployment and functionality. And by taking a holistic view of your solution and enterprise, the TCO Analysis gives you useful information for determining how to leverage existing expenses and plan a strategic rollout.
