Windows Vista Can Help Societe Des Alcools du Quebec Reduce PC Total Cost of Ownership by 7 Percent Per Year
Overview A business value study that included an analysis of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) showed that upgrading the PCs at the Societe des Alcools du Quebec (SAQ) from Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000 to Windows Vista should improve management and reduce service desk and support costs. Deploying Windows Vista as part of SAQ's four-to-five-year hardware replacement cycle should reduce TCO by 7 percent or $271 per PC per year. The study also measured benefits based on reduced PC electricity consumption valued at $6 per PC per year and improved user productivity valued at $34 per user. SAQ anticipates a 9-month-payback period, a 310-percent return on investment, and an internal rate of return of 125 percent.
