发明名称 Method, system and program product for performing cost analysis of an information technology implementation
摘要 A method, system and program product for determining the cost to an enterprise of a proposed information technology solution implementation is described herein. A detailed evaluation of the information technology resources of an enterprise is undertaken via successively detailed questions and analysis of the enterprise's technology environment. From information gleaned from this detailed evaluation, it is determined if a particular proposed solution implementation requires the addition of new hardware, associated software and administrative procedures and training. Based upon these determinations a raw cost for the implementation is established. Generally accepted accounting principles are applied to the raw cost, such as adjusting for inflation, and including the amount that may be deducted for depreciation of hardware assets to arrive at an actual cost for the implementation. The derived actual cost is compared against a cost associated with a model implementation of the same solution and if warranted, a bid for said solution implementation is generated.
