Many customers focus solely on license costs, overlooking additional expenses like computing, support, training, and add-on technologies. Our TCO model emphasizes evaluating the total expenses associated with owning a BI solution.

Data Dive #21: 💼 Total Cost of Ownership of Business Intelligence

Let's talk about the Total Cost of Ownership of Business Intelligence. And, what you should consider when assessing your Total BI spend.

It's crucial to look beyond the initial license costs. Here's why: while license fees are a significant component, they're just the tip of the iceberg. To make an informed decision and maximize ROI, it's essential to consider the comprehensive TCO.

📊 Calculating TCO

Many customers focus solely on license costs, overlooking additional expenses like computing, support, training, and add-on technologies. Our TCO model emphasizes evaluating the total expenses associated with owning a BI solution. By factoring in all relevant costs, including platform and labor expenses, businesses can accurately assess the true cost/investment required.

💡 Key Factors to Include in TCO

1. Platform Costs:

  • Infrastructure: Consider hardware, infrastructure services, data storage, computing, and system services.
  • Software: Evaluate licensing fees, partner integrations, data connectors/storage fees, API access, and other usage fees.

2. Labor Costs:

  • Installation, Setup & Support: Initial setup, configuration, and Budget for technical support and ongoing maintenance.
  • Report Creation: Allocate resources for IT staff to build and curate content.
  • Report Maintenance: Allocate resources to implement the lifecycle
    management of BI assets to ensure an optimal environment.

By considering all relevant factors, businesses can optimize their investment and unlock the full potential of their data-driven initiatives.
