Computing systems that capture cost information for total cost of ownership analyses

摘要

An enterprise computing system is provided that has computing components that each perform a specified computing function for the enterprise. The computing components also have electronic database storage capability that stores data aligned with a predefined model that defines costs to be considered in a total cost of ownership analysis. The enterprise computing system also has a computing component that extracts the stored data aligned with the total cost of ownership data model, and that uses the extracted data to provide an electronic aggregation of costs associated with owning the enterprise computing system.
