Avoid a TCO (total cost of ownership) TKO
An important budget issue that doesn’t get nearly enough consideration is total cost of ownership (TCO). TCO are all of the costs for deploying mobile technology, including training, parts replacement, upgrades, and end-user resistance. Some TCO is predictable, but often, unanticipated costs surprise organizations.
This session examines the usual areas where organizations overlook or under-budget costs. It also addresses unforeseen gotchas in WiFi and other infrastructure buildouts, contracts, project “scope creep” and even business operations changes triggered by success.
Attendees receive great tips and recommendations to help them budget more effectively for TCO, avoid expensive pitfalls and better manage third-party relationships necessary for deployment. What’s more, they learn how others cope with lost time and productivity hiccups during deployments, another contributor to high TCO.
Key issues addressed include:
- How to manage expectations and minimize surprises
- Business management challenges that can cost time or money
- Effectively budgeting for TCO
- Pilot projects’ role in identifying and managing TCO
- Good vendor relationship practices that contain TCO
- Anticipating the hidden price for success
