Don't Forget About the "People Costs": TCO Calculation for the Selection of Enterprise Middleware
Overview Most white papers and webinars available on the Internet about choosing enterprise middleware focus the selection process around criteria such as licensing costs, technical coverage of long lists of specified functionalities, and vendor viability. While these criteria may have been suitable in the past, the experience of many enterprise architects leading J2 EE projects over the past few years suggest that they are not enough. On average, findings indicate that when compared to JBoss Enterprise Middleware, BEA WebLogic requires 18% higher staffing costs to implement and 7% higher staffing costs for ongoing maintenance, while IBM WebSphere requires 23% higher staffing costs to implement and 9% higher staffing costs to maintain.
