IST346:  ROI  TCO

Today’s Agenda  Understand TCO  Learn to perform TCO calculations  Understand ROI  Learn to perform ROI calculations

TCO = “Total Cost of Ownership"  TCO a type of calculation or business concept designed to help managers assess the economic value of an investment through its cost.  In the IT world, your investment is usually a system (hardware/software) or a service.  TCO calculations consist of both direct and indirect costs  Direct Costs: Are directly accountable to the investment. Eg. Hardware, Software, Operation, and Admin. Costs  Indirect Costs: Are not directly accountable to the investment. Eg. End user operations (support), Downtime, Loss of Productivity

TCO In Action  TCO has demonstrated:  Approximately 30% of the total cost of owning an Workstation is the cost of the computer and software  The remaining 70% is support, downtime, and training.  This is the 30/70 principle.  This a $2000 computer really costs $6,  (30% is $2000 of $ )  TCO can be applied to almost any investment  Oftentimes we compare investments in term of which one has the lower TCO. This is known as a TCO analysis.

Example TCO Analysis – Open Source Software  Recent web articles have emphasized TCO as a key element in the Open-Source vs. proprietary software debate.  OSS delivers lower Direct costs over proprietary software (due to reduced licensing costs).  Seems obvious enough!  Several TCO studies claim OSS has higher indirect costs when compared to market-leading proprietary software.  How are they able to make this claim?

TCO Study By E-Week 4/26/2004  Office 2003 vs. OpenOffice.Org  FN Manufacturing in Columbia, SC. 300 PC users.  Evaluating whether to switch from Office 97/2000 to OpenOffice or Office  Conclusion: OpenOffice a good fit for small shops:  OpenOffice = $0 in direct costs  Office 2003 = 300x$200= $60,000 in direct costs  Both products have associated indirect costs, and similar switching costs.  But will OpenOffice have more than $60,000 worth of indirect costs during its lifetime (3 years)?

Example TCO Anlysis Study OSS and Indirect Costs  Sample TCO analysis of the Same Windows XP computer with Microsoft Office and OpenOffice  Direct costs are green, Indirect costs are fuchsia XP w/ OfficeXP w/ OpenOffice Key Determining Factor : software cost savings > gain in user operating costs + cost of switching

Important Software Evaluation Considerations  Evaluate TCO numbers for yourself.  Estimate your own direct costs, based on hard numbers.  Indirect costs can be very difficult to calculate.  Don't Ignore the traditional software selection process:  Identify, Review, Compare, Analyze  Don't forget the cost of switching:  Training Costs  Deployment Costs  Training and consistent deployment help reduce indirect costs.  Switching costs can be an enormous indirect cost.

ROI = “Return on Investment”  ROI is a type of calculation designed to help managers assess the economic value of an investment through its potential  ROI = (gain-cost)/cost  Example gain=$7,500 cost=$5,000 ROI=50%  Positive ROI is good, negative is bad.  ROI is used in IT to help compare similar IT investments.

ROI Example: Selling Products on the Web  You work for a parts distributor. Currently you do not sell products on line.  A)A Recent TCO study has revealed it will cost $12,000/year to begin selling products on the web.  If you would like a 25% ROI, what it the expected gain?  B) If another option is to partner with Amazon.com to sell your parts on line at a cost of $5,000/year What is the expected gain for the same 25% ROI? Is it better?  C)If the marketing department claims that by spending $5,000 next year on local advertising they can generate an additional $9000 in sales boost sales  Which option has the best ROI?

ROI Example: Selling Products on the Web  A).25 = (gain – 12000)/12000  3000 = gain  gain = 15,000  B).25 = (gain – 5000)/5000  1250 = gain – 5000  gain = 6,250  C) ROI = ( )/5000  ROI = 4000/5000 =.8  Option C has the highest ROI.  Option A and B have the same ROI but option B has a lower TCO so…  Option B is better than option A
