Open source Business Intelligence (BI) suites now offer mature feature sets comparable to their commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) counterparts. Use this total cost of ownership (TCO) comparison tool to establish the open source software (OSS) cost as a base case and determine the cost difference between the two licensing options.

The tool includes the following components:

  • Cost categories overview.
  • Sample TCO information.
  • TCO calculator.
  • TCO comparison graph.

Use this download as a component of the BI planning process.



This downloadable tool is associated with the research note, “BI: It's Not Just About Data Warehouses.”
