Main Tab — Professional Services In this table, you will enter costs of any professional services you think your project will require: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Description Amount - - -

Main Tab – Calculated Totals The next two sections are calculated totals based on data you enter in the worksheet: TOTALS Total Hardware - Total Software - Total Professional Services - Total Hours (enter in standard hourly rate, example: 30 hours *$60/hr) - Total Implementation - ESTIMATED RECURRING COSTS - ANNUAL Annual Amount Software Maintenance - Hardware Maintenance - Other Maintenance - Professional Services - Additional Storage - Total Recurring -

Project Cost Estimate Form Hours and Storage (H&S) Tab

H&S – Hours Section In the Hours section you will estimate the total number of hours for efforts in delivering your entire project. HOURS I.e., OIMT I.e., Vendor1 Project Implementation (non- recurring) Description Total Project Management & Meetings - Requirements Definition & Documentation - Functional Specifications - Technical Specifications - Installation (server, workstation, network) - Technical Training - Development (coding, reports, interfaces) - Testing (planning, unit, system, stress) - Testing (Client Acceptance) - Technical Documentation - Disaster Recovery Planning, Setup, Testing - End User Documentation and Training - Implementation & Post- implementation Support - Total Implementation

H&S – Hours Section Enter who will be providing them across the columns at the top HOURS I.e., OIMT I.e., Vendor1 Project Implementation (non- recurring) Description Total Project Management & Meetings - Requirements Definition & Documentation - Functional Specifications - Technical Specifications - Installation (server, workstation, network) - Technical Training - Development (coding, reports, interfaces) - Testing (planning, unit, system, stress) - Testing (Client Acceptance) - Technical Documentation - Disaster Recovery Planning, Setup, Testing - End User Documentation and Training - Implementation & Post- implementation Support - Total Implementation

H&S – Hours Section Effort categories are listed in the left most column HOURS I.e., OIMT I.e., Vendor1 Project Implementation (non- recurring) Description Total Project Management & Meetings - Requirements Definition & Documentation - Functional Specifications - Technical Specifications - Installation (server, workstation, network) - Technical Training - Development (coding, reports, interfaces) - Testing (planning, unit, system, stress) - Testing (Client Acceptance) - Technical Documentation - Disaster Recovery Planning, Setup, Testing - End User Documentation and Training - Implementation & Post- implementation Support - Total Implementation

H&S — Ongoing Support Once your project closes, the deliverable will require some level of ongoing support. Note the yearly costs in the main section of the table for each type Ongoing Support (recurring) Frequency : Monthly/Quarterly/Semi-Annual Description Total Software Maintenance i.e., patches, updates, upgrades - Hardware Maintenance i.e., preventative maintenance - Other Maintenance i.e., system monitoring, disaster recovery, problem resolution - Professional Services - Total Recurring

H&S — Additional Storage This section of the sheet lets you estimate any additional storage needs ADDITIONAL STORAGE Storage (Production, DR, Test Servers) Frequency : Monthly/Quarterly/Semi-Annual Description Total Total Storage

H&S — Additional Storage Place the provider(s) across the top Place the Description(s) of the systems requiring the storage in the left column Enter cost amounts in the main part of the table ADDITIONAL STORAGE Storage (Production, DR, Test Servers) Frequency : Monthly/Quarterly/Semi-Annual Description Total Total Storage

H&S — Additional Storage Place the Description(s) of the systems requiring the storage in the left column ADDITIONAL STORAGE Storage (Production, DR, Test Servers) Frequency : Monthly/Quarterly/Semi-Annual Description Total Total Storage

H&S — Additional Storage Enter cost amounts in the main part of the table ADDITIONAL STORAGE Storage (Production, DR, Test Servers) Frequency : Monthly/Quarterly/Semi-Annual Description Total Total Storage

Project Cost Estimate Form Assumptions Tab

Assumptions — Solution & Priority If your project has more than one solution, you will need to duplicate this tab for each one. In the first area you: Describe your solution Score your priorities based on the table at the bottom of the page Solution Description: Bus. Funct. Priority: LOB Owner Priority: Priority:

Assumptions — The List In the next section list all of your assumptions that will be in place ItemAssumption:

Summary Your total cost estimates are now documented and will display on the first tab. This process supports only a single solution decision. You may need to prepare alternate versions.
