MDOP ROI Calculator |

The biggest fish in the MDOP pond of course is Like I said, it's pretty advanced. This isn't something you'd do on your coffee break. This Microsoft MDOP Business Value Analyst was developed independently by ex-Gartner ROI experts from a ROI tool developer Alinean, Inc. This analysis tool examines current cost saving and service level improvement opportunities and management practices, then quantifies potential advantages for business value from MDOP. The tool collects information about current desktop and support operations, and then uses research by WiPro, IDC and Alinean to project potential benefits and ROI from MDOP. The tool does not yet take into account the recent MDOP additive Kidaro but perhaps will in the future. Try for yourself. You just need to create an account (with a NSA grade password). |
Does it take into account that you have to pay $8 PER YEAR per seat, recurring? Does it take into account the larger issue of paying for SA? Does it take into account that you'll loose your investment in other software tools (like AppStream, and Winternals competitors) that you've put money into? I bet not.
