IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT: TCO ANALYSIS

With today’s increasingly complex product and service marketplace, it can be challenging for business and technology managers to make well-informed decisions about investments in critical corporate assets. In addition to rationalizing different vendor solutions, features, and licensing and maintenance provisions, management must understand the associated cost structures, and their short and long-term impacts.

By blending technology insight with business acumen, The Cavan Group identifies viable alternatives and assists clients in analyzing the cost/benefit associated with each option. In addition to up-front purchase fees, The Cavan Group identifies the costs involved with any customization that may be required to integrate the solution into the existing technical environment, as well as costs related to scaling the solution to meet potential future needs. Finally, training, maintenance and support alternatives are assessed, and costs are projected under a variety of scenarios.

Our TCO Analysis process is thorough and structured, ensuring that no hidden costs remain undetected. With full disclosure and quantification of all cost components, management is equipped to make business-critical decisions about technology investments.
