Does anybody have a nice Excel sheet to calculate the actual value of the TCO of client PCs, or at least one version of this fuzzy concept of TCO?

thanks

Hi,

I don't have an excel sheet but TCO is the cost of the physical machine, software and liciences, training and maintenance / support.

That is the definition of it. I'm looking for a smart way to calculate it.

thanks anyway.

Greetings,

Here?s a possibility:

TechRepublic recently had an article on that very subject:

https://www.techrepublic.com/article.jhtml?src=search&id=r00520000107fox01.htm

(REMOVE SPACES if they snuck into the pasted URL)

A guy named, Jack Fox, wrote it. There IS an email link to contact Jack. I?d bet lunch that he has one. Whether or not he?d share it with you is something you could find out only by asking. (I?d bet another lunch that he would.)

AND ? there?s another article:
https://www.techrepublic.com/article.jhtml?src=search&id=r00820010423wri01.htm

This one was written by Kathrine Wright, also with an email link to her.

Also, do your own TechRepublic search with a few different query words, and perhaps you?ll find more articles, perhaps some with downloads.

Good luck,

Maxwell
