TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP CALCULATIONS DEPEND ON YOUR COMPANY’S GROWTH PROJECTIONS, GLOBAL EXPANSION PLAN, GLOBAL FOOTPRINT, NUMBER OF INTENDED USERS AND THE SERVICE PACKAGE REQUIRED FOR YOUR COMPANY OVER A FIXED TIME PERIOD, TO NAME A FEW CONDITIONS. TRIGGER’S CONSULTANTS CAN ASSIST YOU IN CALCULATING THESE COSTS FOR YOUR BUSINESS, THOUGH WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU SET THE CALCULATION PARAMETERS YOURSELF RATHER THAN RELYING ON THE ASSUMPTIONS OF PRODUCT VENDORS, AS THEY MAY NOT APPLY TO THE UNIQUE GROWTH PATH OF YOUR BUSINESS.
 
WHEN COMPARING WITH ON-PREMISES SOLUTIONS, ALSO BEAR IN MIND THE HIDDEN COSTS OF THESES SYSTEMS THAT MAY NOT BE REFLECTED IN A QUOTATION, SUCH AS ELECTRICITY AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS, ONGOING MANPOWER AND EQUIPMENT COSTS FOR SYSTEM MAINTENANCE, SOFTWARE UPGRADES AND VIRUS PROTECTION UPDATES.
