The goal of the DDPS Cost Calculator is to help decision makers estimate the costs of deploying Microsoft Vista and/or 2007 Office System.
Estimate the deployment costs for enterprises with 500 – 90,000 computersSuggest low level metric and cost estimates
Allow user over rides The calculator estimates are based on user input data and regression analysis from historic and early adopter data on similar deployments. Support ‘what if’ analysis by allowing user to change any data item and instantly recalculating deployment costsSupport budget planning process by saving and/or printing estimate results

Step 2a: Validate Baseline
The Calculator develops a series of estimates for metrics involved in this deployment project. Metrics such as:
Average wages for User and ITHW replacement and upgrade costsEngineering hours to develop images and deployment scriptsNumbers of applications that will migrate, will be upgraded or need to be replacedLicensing costs for OS, Office and applications
All the calculator assumptions can be by entering data into the fields highlighted in yellow

Step 2b: Infrastructure
The BDD methodology will be used for the deployment project, the Infrastructure Remediation tab, suggests the infrastructure components and component specifications required. The component recommendations are developed based on:
The size of the deploymentThe total number of computers in the corporationThe infrastructure distribution profile of the corporation as derived from the data entered into the Hub and Remote Site fields on the Environment tab
