Enter the following values.
How much of the application's functionality is planned to be put into service.
The estimated customization of the implementation. Customization is difficult to estimate before the project begins, but is of course a critical feature of TCO. Customization differs greatly by software category. For instance, ERP systems tend to require the most customization because they offer the most generic functionality. Customization is greatly dependent upon the software selected and how well it matches the business requirements.
This is the number of licensed users. It is not the number of concurrent users -- which would be much lower.
Overwrite the initial dummy value. When your project is projected to start (optional)
Enterprise software may support a single language and region, or many languages and regions. As more complexity is added overall costs go up, while per user costs may decline.
How many lanugages must the application support?
All Brightwork Research & Analysis project planning calculator estimates differ in their "year of use" assumptions per software category, as various applications typically stay in companies for different lengths of time. For example, some applications, like ERP systems, have the highest lock-in, stay in longer than other applications, and be more easily switched out.
The initial purchase price.
Includes both the cost of the hardware as well as the hardware support for on premises solutions. SaaS solutions have no separately broken out hardware costs. This is not the total hardware and hardware support costs for the entire time the application is used by the company (that estimate is available in the TCO Calculator). Rather this is the initial cost of the hardware along with their first year of hardware support.
This is the number of MONTHS until go live for projects that are typical of the application as well as the type of implementation you have selected. The timeline assumes the staffing of the FTEs recommended in the estimation below. Value is stated in fraction, so .75 would be 3 weeks.
Based upon your start date with the customized project duration added. (Only usable if you entered a start date above) This is not normally the beginning of financial returns. Most applications have a lag between their go live date and when they can show financial benefits.
The total number of FTEs (full time equivalents) that should be allocated to working on the implementation. Includes both internal and external or consulting resources. (FTE estimates from software vendors tend to be reliable; FTE estimates from consulting companies may not be reliable, which was one reason for the development of this calculator) This value above is stated as a fraction; because depending upon the inputs, the estimate is not always a whole number. This should not be a problem as not all project resources are full time. The total will be the number FTEs recommended by the software vendors + the number of FTEs use by any consulting company + the number of FTEs provided by the buyer or company performing the implementation. The estimate should be used by subtracting the software vendor's FTE estimate to arrive at the resulting FTEs, which must be allocated internally or sourced from a consulting company.
Each cost category above is added the total cost of ownership which is listed below.
This is the combined cost for software and hardware.
