MESSAGE ME FOR FULL BRIEF! DEADLINE 14th MARCH Imagine that the company you work for is about to buy a software product for a new application. After researching the market, it has been decided that there are 2 alternatives: a commercial product (Product A) and a cloud-based product (Product B). Your manager has asked you to perform a comparative study of the 5-year costs of the 2 products, based on the variation of number of users that will have access to the application and prepare a power-point presentation that summarizes your findings and conclusions. After contacting the products’ vendors, talking to your colleagues and researching the market you have identified the following facts: Product A Product A consists of 4 components (subproducts) that are all required for the new application, however, they are licensed independently: • ▪ Component A1 that is licensed on a per user basis, costing £80 per User that will have access to the application. • ▪ Component A2 that is licensed on a per user basis, costing £120 per User that will have access to the application. • ▪ Component A3 that is licensed based on the number of CPUs that are installed on the application server that the product will run, costing £15000 per installed CPU. • ▪ Component A4 that is licensed based on the number of CPUs that are installed on the application server that the product will run, costing £10000 per installed CPU. It is estimated that in order to be able to perform adequately in the production environment, Product A requires 2 CPUs for up to 300 Users, 4 CPUs for 301 to 600 Users and 8 CPUs for 601 to 1000 Users. Additionally, the new application will have a disaster recovery site for which the cost for product A is calculated as 40% of the price of the license for the production site when, however, the production site license is calculated with no users accessing the product. Note that, given its purpose, the disaster site still needs to have the appropriate processing power in order to be able to accommodate the same number of users as the production site. Moreover, starting from the second year, for Product A, the bank will have to pay the product vendor an annual 20% maintenance fee over the final product license price (where the final price includes both the production and the disaster recovery sites). The implementation/customizations fee that the vendor will apply for Product A is fixed and equal to £80 000. Moreover, starting from the second year, the vendor will apply an annual 10% maintenance fee over the implementation/customizations fee.
