Lower Total Cost of Ownership

In earlier days IT projects gained a terrible reputation for catastrophic failure. Their complexity was often underestimated and experienced staff were rare and expensive.

Once common mistake was a lack of awareness of ‘Total Cost of Ownership’ (TOC). TOC it a measure of all costs (including hidden and secondary expenditure) associated with the adoption and usage in IT related project. Expenditure on training, down time and maintenance are examples of costs often overlooked. More on TOC at Wikipedia.

In many respects Web implementations have become the new feared IT projects. Both web providers and projects now have a reputation for high variability of quality and costs, and total cost of ownership is catching companies out once more.

There are two key areas in which ThridwayWeb can combat very high Total Cost of Ownership:

  • Implementation costs: ThirdwayWeb utilises tools and methodologies which can significantly reduce implementation fees.
  • Ongoing & Maintenance costs: Software as a Service platforms and administrator empowerment combine to reduce fees post launch

Return on investment from your web projects will be further improved by the increased success levels of the web projects which the Thirdway supports.
