The IDP system TCO calculator provides enterprises with a framework for comparing the cost of managing an IDP in-house against the cost of using a managed services provider.
The tool includes the following components:
- Explanation of the major cost categories that should be included in the TCO analysis.
- Spreadsheet that dynamically calculates total cost for a specified number of years across four different management options.
- Ability to adjust the number of probes being used in the calculation to more accurately gauge TCO.
The TCO calculator facilitates the decision-making process by automating the calculations and providing a quick breakdown of cost in each category for rapid decision-making.
